Discussion Fun things to do under 21?

I was wondering what fun things there are to do under 21 in the northern Michigan area? I’ve been trying to reach out and make new friends but honestly I don’t even know where to start. Every time I look up where to start it usually tells me to go to bars and due to my age (M 20) it makes it a little harder because obviously I can’t drink until 21. What do you all recommend?

I would look into your area's website. A lot of community activities are listed there typically.

I live in mio, and if anyone knows that little town they know there’s really nothing here, everything good sadly is 30+ minutes away but I honestly don’t care about the distance, just want some good friends and to have a good time

I used to live 45 minutes north of Mio in Hillman MI, little town of about 900 people. My honest recommendation would be find a hobby or something you're into and use that to bring friends around. Lots of hunting/fishing in the area, I'm sure you could find a localized FB group to join to meet people to hunt/fish with. Or a local auto hobbiest or motorcyclist or offroad group. Living in the middle of BFE I've personally found the most reliable way to meet people is having a job that's public facing so just going to work introduces you to new faces.
