Binge watch a show (but not on Netflix)

Go to a store, find the bucket of cheap DVDs, pick out a season of a TV show that sounds interesting to you, and then have fun navigating the special features and getting up to change discs every two hours.

Bake something you’ve never made before

If you have an oven and leftover baking supplies from the holidays, find a cool recipe and bake something you’ve never made before. Try pretzels, snickerdoodle cookies, or blondies!

Go outside

Enjoying the outdoors isn’t just for summer. Winter is a beautiful time to enjoy being outside as well. So grab a hot drink and a seat outside and enjoy looking at the pretty trees and skies. This is also a great way to re-appreciate centralized air.

Write something

But something weird! Write a blank verse poem. Write a how-to article for something only you know how to do. Write down the ending of that crazy dream you woke up in the middle of.

Learn a very specific skill

Learn how to hula-hoop. Pick up amateur flower arranging. Figure out how to arm-knit. Learn how to sculpt Lionel Ritchie’s head out of clay.

Work on your hairstyling skills

Practice dutch braids, french braids, milkmaid braids, twists, top knots and twisted ponytails.

Clean something that never gets cleaned

Make your mom smile by cleaning that drawer under the oven, the back of the pantry, the corners of the coat closet, or the dusty fan blades.

Go to the library

Go to the library. Go to the romance novel section. Find the craziest looking book you can. Check it out. Find a friend. Read it together. Laugh (probably).

Watch a VHS tape

If your family still hoards a VHS system somewhere in the attic or garage, try hooking it up to your flatscreen television for a very nostalgic, anachronistic experience. Watch a childhood favorite! Or, even better, watch those home movies your parents so lovingly filmed!

Go to Walmart and look for weird things

Look through the bargain bin of strange CDs. Go through the fabric section and find crazy novelty prints. Go to the clothes section and look through the t-shirts. Just find something you don’t see everyday.

Go thrift shopping

Look for vintage clothes and look up the labels. Look for work shirts from Circuit City. Look for psychedelic record covers. Look for shoes people definitely should’ve thrown away and not donated.

Go to a (state) park on your own

Okay, take this with a grain of salt and proper precautions, but yeah, go to a state park (or any kind of park you like) on your own. Not to get too Wild on you, but just to be alone and to walk around alone can be an interesting way to pass time. And to get a a little Wild on you, you might have some kind of spiritual experience (maybe? I don’t know your life; you might).
