Pull A Rover
The classic hang-out to spend an afternoon for my spiffy friends and I. Pulling a Rover entails lunch at Rockridge Cafe (default time is 12:30 unless duly noted), then proceed to Crossroads, a particularly excellent second hand clothes store where I get half my wardrobe. The next activities can range from meeting another friend, taste tasting at the Market Hall, going to a certain friend's house, taking crazy pictures, prank calling random classmates, or awkwardly running into a boy we all know and pretending like we are so chill.
"so we decided to Pull a Rover on Saturday and ran into Collin. Hay caramelos, much? That was awkward. But on the plus side, I got an awesome belt at Crossroads!"
