With an unprecedented reading day fast approaching, we at The Collegian thought you might be wondering what what you could possibly do with an extra 24 hours in your weekend.
Lest you find yourselves paralyzed with the possibilities, we have compiled our top 10 suggestions to inspire you.
1. Sleep in. Don’t let your sleep debt sink your intellectual credit. Rebuild while you can.
2. Catch up on the last two seasons of TV shows you’ve missed this year. There’s nothing like a six-hour marathon of Parks and Recreation to restore the soul.
3. Do anything but read.
4. Make all the crafts on your Pinterest board. No time like a reading day to turn a rake into a coat-rack, melt some crayons into art, or build mini-terrariums.
5. Go for a walk. A 12-hour walk.
6. Play pranks on your friends. Fill their bathtubs with Jell-O, freeze their underwear, MelCat inappropriate books on their library card accounts, set their clocks backwards. Nothing like a prank to endear yourself to the people you love.
7. Explore the town. Have you eaten Thai food at The Coffee Cup recently? There’s a whole culinary world outside Saga, Inc.—maybe it’s time you discovered it.
8. Play Solitaire online. Can you beat the most recent Facebook record?
9. Learn the latest LMFAO dance moves (i.e. work out).
10. Go hear the presidential candidates. This one might be the most important. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to hear the future Republican nominee.
Whatever you do though, don’t delude yourselves into thinking that you can catch up on all that leftover reading, the outstanding projects, and overdue coffee dates. It simply is not possible.
That said, have fun and plan ahead — get the most of your extra day!
