Emily Untitled: 7 Things to Do With Your Day Off (Besides What You Should Be Doing)

Hello dear readers, if you are still out there. If you were ever out there.

Long time, no see. I realize that this is my first blog post in quite a while.

Almost a month, actually. I always meant to write something, but life kept getting in the way.

Honestly, my lack of bloggage is probably not a huge issue - the only person who really reads it is Mckenzie, who just spent the entire weekend with me in a car and probably never wants to speak to me ever again.

But, there is good news. I have the day off of school today! What am I going to do with it? Well, if you're practical (re: boring) like me, it will be spent cleaning, doing homework, filling out scholarship applications, and practicing the various things that most people would call "hobbies", but what I call career options. I really know how to live it up. Since "routine" doesn't make for a very interesting blog post, I thought I'd take a cue from my friend Robin and create my very own list! I'm not nearly as creative as she is (and lazier, too), so I have seven things instead of ten...but it's close enough for me.

So, without further ado, here are 7 things to do with your day off (besides what you should be doing):

1. Bake an extravagant, delicious cake and share it with your friends. Seriously, doesn't this look absolutely divine?

2. Alphabetize your book/movie/music/sock/vintage ugly sweater collection. Because your beloved junk might as well be organized.

3. Go on a road trip less than 100 km from your home and check out something weird. When else do you have a chance to check out the World's Largest Red Paperclip?

4. Write a letter to your local political representatives and complain about the lack of kittens in official government documents. Wouldn't filing your taxes be more fun with kittens?
