Wow. It’s Sunday, and in the past 72 hours, I have blissfully ignored all my responsibilities. But, now it’s Sunday and I have 72 hours’ worth of responsibilities to ~handle~. So, before I shotgun a Red Bull and start the week walking the line between sleep deprivation and organization, I want to share what I’ve learned.

1. You're never too old to make friends

This weekend as I leaped from ~gathering~ to ~gathering~, I realized something exceedingly important! There are so many people I don’t know. So, instead of homework I found myself in diners eating pancakes with people whose name I didn’t know when the night began.

2. Watch the sunrise

This one sounds obvious, but really do it. I don’t care if you must stay up all night and sleep all day, it is worth it. Seeing the sun and the earth’s first kiss of the day ensures you will have a good one. I promise.

3. Say 'yes' to adventure

Okay, again, duh. But, adventure can be something as decadent as climbing a mountain to as innocent as walking in 30° weather to Walgreens.

4. Find a song and make it your own

This one is a personal favorite of mine. This weekend, I chose “Wet Dreamz” by J. Cole. What you do with your song is up to you, but I’m personally inclined towards singing snapchats and profuse dance parties.

5. Compliment people

I don’t want to over-explain this one. Simply validate others. Take is as your personal mission and experiment to tell someone something you love about them, then look at their face. Do it.

6. Laugh at yourself

Be honest, if you don’t do anything ~responsible~ for 72 hours, you will probably do some funny stuff instead.

7. Talk about life

Even amidst homework and club meetings and various obligations this is crucial. Let your train of thought see the light of day and see how it collides with someone else’s.

7.2. Sit on the floor

You literally gravitate towards the floor. Stop fighting it.
