What is there to do in Reno? I've been here for about a week and I don't know what to do. Is there anything for the younger crowd here

How young? 21 +/- makes a pretty big difference.

Like Roberto said, it all depends on what you like doing. Now that Summer is coming there is a ton of "stuff" to do. If you are into arts and music there is always crap going on down town. Sporting events; there is a new baseball stadium that is going to start having games. There is a water rapids park on the truckee river that you can do down. There are a ton of places to go hiking and there are several lakes within an hour of Reno. There are shooting ranges, Herbies paintball in Fernley, go-karts at Grand Sierra, arcades at most every casino, numerous batting cages, etc.

Um, get a job?

...no seriously, get a job with other folks your age, even if it's just slinging burgers at AppleBees. The work will suck (it's a job after all) but the money and friends you'll make are usually well worth it. Plus you'll find out what else there is to do in town from people your age that have lived here longer than you.

Make a friend who has toys (boat, jet ski, bikes, ATV's) and then invite me to come play. Chris and Mary fish. I like mtn biking but the only place I've found in the area that has trees and shit is the Tahoe Rim Trail. It's kinda far for daily rides.

I'm actually lookin for a job. I was a professional detailer for Sonora Subaru but the owner was a cheap skate and I couldn't afford to live on my own so I moved here to Reno hoping to find a job. But this economy sucks and not having a college degree sucks major. I snowboard but the season is done so that blows. I do enjoy camping and in fact I'm going memorial weekend, but that's just one weekend taken care of. Not much of a partier and no need to hit on girls (have gf). I think life will be better once I find a darn job and it doesn't help I live way out in cold springs or whatever this place is called

If you can pull off getting student loans and scholarships to be able to afford to go to college, now's a great time to be in school. Wait out the economic slump learning something, then get back into career hunting w/ an expanded skill-set right as people start hiring again.

I was just saying that yesterday when Amanda was saying she feels too old to go back to school. She's only in her late 20's. I should be keeping up my education too. I'm just not willing to because am "done" with school.

Well now that it's getting warmer, there will be more things to do. I like to go to the river and the lake. There are a ton of spots up n down the river to play. Zephyr gets pretty packed on the weekends. If you like to hike or bike there are a lots of trails too. Other than that, house parties are fun. Sometimes. I haven't been to one in a long time, now that I'm of age.

There are also rec sports. And strip clubs. And hookers. And drugs don't forget drugs... haha.

First of all, definitely get a job. Easier said than done, but it will eat up a lot of time, and you'll have money to actually go do stuff. Then:
Get a dog!
Play video games
Get a gym membership and start lifting (beach season's coming up )
Go to the movies with your GF
Cook with your GF
Work on your car
For some reason I really can't think of what I do in my free time... lol I think a lot of it is just chilling at home either alone or with my gf... during the week I'm just busy with school and the gym the whole time, I guess...

I need a work out partner... It's so much harder to motivate yourself when you are doing it alone.

Really? I actually prefer going alone, cuz then I can focus. But my girlfriend lifts with me, so I let her, cuz I'm not gonna tell her to not go to the gym cuz I wanna lift alone. Ask Pete, Ive seen him at the UNR gym. I know he's on this forum, I don't remember his sn tho. He has a 2004 STi that he's trying to sell. Nick P said he traded exhausts or something with him a while back. I figure you know him, lol
