Lazy Friends

Hollister11

I have a group of friends there's about 10 of us. We just finished the leaving cert and have met up once. We normally play football or go drinking it whatever but when ever I try to organise a meet up no one is up for it.
I'm getting bored as **** at home with no one coming out. I walk my dogs twice a day and I'm doing an online course to pass the time.
Any ideas on what to do

I've just finished the leaving too Could it be a case of post leaving cert run-down? Some days I don't even want to leave the house anymore because I'm panicked about August and also feel like this is such an anticlimax. We have spent 13 years in school working to the LC and it just ended in a matter of weeks. Apparently these feelings are very normal and many feel similarly. So perhaps your friends are in this position?

Maybe they're just wrecked OP, you're not finished the leaving long. They could all be home vegetating for a bit. Everyone needs about 2 weeks on their backside after something like that, they'll probably come round. They are hardly planning on staying inside for the rest of the summer.

In the meantime, could you do a bit of volunteering? Look up community groups in your area and see what's going on (may not be s&xy, but you never know what could happen and it would keep you busy). Take up some training? Start running every day, look for a local pool. Do a life saving course (something you'd have for life), learn how to surf?

What about your family, do any of them need a hand with something at the moment? Have you a granny or someone who needs some jobs done around the house? Work your way through one of those '100 books to read before you die' lists? Teach yourself how to cook? Learn a language?

You may never have this sort of a break again, maybe try and embrace the bored for a bit.

Maybe they're hanging out with family or the other people they couldn't see in the run up to the Leaving?

It's too soon after the LC to expect everyone to be bright eyed and bushy tailed particularly if they are people who worked hard to get access to college etc. If you are in that group anyway you might as well get used to not be in contact with them as you will all be going your separate ways soon. Third level is all about making new friends. However I've no doubt that ye will have a good lash the night the results come out.
I know how you feel though as regards lazy friends. I recall organising work for a group of us in Jersey, accommodation etc. in the hotel business for a Summer.
It wasn't very well paid but great fun and met loads of English women who thought we were great crack because we played fiddles and mouth organs and started sessions where ever we went.
While three of us went and had a ball three others were complete negative stuck in the muds and did nothing for the Summer except lounge around at home.

This happens a lot as a young fella, I used to be bored off my skull at home. Make a plans, organise a trip away and figure out a way to pay for it, saving for it and the general planning can give you bit of drive and other things might fall into place.

Would you consider a summer job? Great way to meet new people and there is usually a social aspect.
