Go For A Drive

When we spend so much time commuting, it's easy to forget that driving can be fun. You don't always need a destination, sometimes all you need is the adventure.

Play A Game With Friends

Games like Cards Against Humanity, Monopoly, and Risk always lead to entertaining stories and are a great distraction when you need it. Never forget that Mario Kart ruins friendships.

Check Out A Local Sporting Event

Every campus has it's own sports teams so there are plenty of opportunities to watch your classmates competing. College basketball season is just beginning! There are also likely professional teams in the area if that's more your scene. Your school might even an agreement with one of those teams to have tickets available to students at a discounted price.

Attend an on-campus event

There are so many events going on around campus at most schools. Many drama departments are putting on their fall shows at this time. There are also lectures, movie screenings, and plenty more activities out there that allow you to both take a break and expand your learning experience. Admission to these events is likely included in your tuition so it's a good idea to take advantage of them.

Go Out For Brunch

Brunch is pretty much the best meal ever conceived. It's a great social event and a time to eat great food. And you don't even have to wake up early to eat "breakfast food." Let's be honest though, who hasn't had pancakes for breakfast at least once? A quick search on the internet will probably turn up some good recommendations for restaurants.
