Unless you're one of those highly caffeinated over-achievers who takes five classes, works two jobs, is a member of six campus clubs, and even has time to take care of their needy pet, the beginning of the semester can get a little dull sometimes. As you're sitting in your room watching "The Office" or playing "Super Smash Bros" all day, you begin to feel that your eyesight is slowly becoming blurry and your brain deteriorating. You want to go out and have fun, but you're already a poor college student and going to the village will inevitably lead to excessive spending. Here are some more fun, active, weird, and mischievous ways to spend your free time without leaving the 5Cs (that are not necessarily any more productive).
1. Slackline At Pitzer.
The most obvious option.
2. Try to climb every climbable tree at the 5Cs.
They're everywhere!
3. Stare at the studio art building at Pomona in awe.
Isn't it beautiful?
4. Get a group of friends to go to the dining hall farthest away from your dorm.
A one hour dinner can turn into a three hour dinner if you try hard enough.
5. Pester the chickens in the Pitzer Garden.
They "love" the attention.
6. Have a picnic in the quad or the mounds and scream early 2000s pop music at the top of your lungs.
Annoying strangers is the highest form of entertainment.
7. Sit in on a random class and pretend you're supposed to be there.
Computer Science at Harvey Mudd is always an enriching choice.
8. Go to a guacamole making workshop in the Pomona Garden.
You get to keep it too!!!
9. Teach yourself to ripstick.
It's the longboard of 2016.
10. Start a business from your dorm.
Back massages, stick-n-poke tattoos, and lemonade stands are all viable options.
11. Conquer climbing the top of Collins dining hall.
Recommended between the hours of 10 p.m. and midnight on Thursdays for the most entertaining view.
12. Pretend you're a tour guide and give tours to the prospective students waiting outside.
Try to make up as much false information as possible for the highest entertainment.
13. Actually start your homework?
Nah, too ambitious.
