Comics

I was looking around my house today when I found a binder that I used to have way back in middle school. Inside, I found a comic strip that my friends and I had made about each other, about teachers, and about kids we hated at the time. It was hilarious to look back at these things.

I suggest that you and your friends get together and create a comic strip of your fellow students, teachers, coworkers, what-have-you. You can either each do a few panels, or each have a whole scene. Make sure to give your characters new and exciting personalities and characteristics. Play off of people's nicknames. For instance, we gave the nickname "Mr. Mittens" to our tennis coach and so his character had a large mitten hat and had super baking powers. Another fun thing to include is catch phrases, the more wacky you make them, while still based on reality, the better!

This way, years down the road, you will have an entertaining way not only to see what you created in the past, but also to remember, in a hilarious way, the idiosyncrasies of the people you used to know. This one is VERY easy and very worthwhile.
