1. Catch up on Netflix!
It's Friday! Chances are you have 0 to 1 classes today. You deserve to relax! And I'm sure that O Chem lab has drained you of any brain power that you may have had at the beginning of this week. So, sit back in your comfy on-campus apartment/suite and chill. There are tons of Netflix originals that you probably have never seen. Explore!
2. Dare I say it....clean?
So, more than likely this sounds like a terrible idea, right? BUT, when else are you going to have time? (Remember that O Chem...) Even if you aren't expecting guests, your roommates will probably love you for sweeping and throwing that pizza box away that has been sitting on the counter for 2 weeks. If you're feeling extra creative on this rainy day, research how to make safe, DIY cleaning products.
3. You were waiting for this one...SLEEP!
There is no better time to sleep than on a rainy, dark, fall day. And you probably haven't been getting your recommended 8-10 hours of sleep per night. (Who does?!) Although your body doesn't really "catch up" on sleep, it's important for your body to complete the sleep cycle nightly. Why not give it the opportunity to run a couple more cycles, am I right?
4. Hit up the common spaces in your community!
No one is saying that you HAVE to stay in your apartment/suite. Grab a friend and head to your nearest common area. In KP, there are tons of video games to play in the Clubhouse. In the Suites, you can hang out in one of the many multipurpose rooms or head to the gym on the Terrace level. In the Village Centre, there are pool tables and air hockey. Last, but not least, in Austin Residence Complex, there are ping pong tables and pool tables in Town Hall. So, bring a friend and an umbrella and hang out!
So, whether you're being productive or vegging out, enjoy this peaceful, rainy Friday!
