Like me, a lot of you are probably sitting on your couch in the middle of a tuesday afternoon. I know, pathetic right? But at least you did not eat ALL of the christmas leftovers… yet.
Anyways, you might be wondering when you’ll get to go back, calculating to the last millisecond that you will be back home at school, but in the meantime, while you’re doing nothing you should know a few things you can do instead of putting down roots and committing to a month of the dreadful disease known as the “couch-potato”.
1- Call up some of your friends from high school. See what they’re up to and if they want to catch up. And if some of your old friends that you haven’t spoken to in awhile call you and ask you to go out and catch up, do not immediately say no. You may not think so now, but you will regret not meeting up with them.
2- Read a book. I am a major book pusher, but this is a great idea. You have a ton of spare time, so there is absolutely no excuse about not having time. Trust me, you’ll feel accomplished and thank me later.
3- Start a hobby. Think of something you can’t do, but want to do, go to youtube and watch every video there is to watch about that certain activity. Take up yoga, knitting, painting, anything really. Have fun and try something new.
4- Write a novel, start a blog, start a youtube channel. Do something to express yourself and make your days full of something fun and interesting. Really throw yourself into it.
5- Call your friends from school. They are bound to be missing you just as much as you are missing them. Give them a call, facetime, text, anything. You’ll drive yourself crazy if you don’t. You can talk about your new hobbies, a book you’ve read and highly recommend, and ask them about their breaks. I am sure that you both will be bored and have plenty to complain about and share.
