Get together with a group of friends and spend the whole day doing something together. During the school year, I’m often too busy to take a day to visit a local arts festival or explore a large city (do some shopping, try great food, walk around and take silly pictures), or maybe just go to an amusement park or the beach. There’s an arts festival this weekend I was hoping to go to, but unfortunately I’m swamped with work. Seize the free time! Do something extraordinary! Find out some creative & fun project that will take approximately two days and try that. You can redecorate your room, & cut out interesting magazine clippings to tack to a corkboard or something. Write a story. Learn how to solve a Rubik’s cube if you haven’t yet. People are easily impressed if you can solve one.
