I know a lot of us probably don't have a lot of money... So, what can you do for fun that is free or doesn't cost a lot of money? Here are a few ideas:
• Feed ducks at your local pond. This is especially rewarding in spring when there’s ducklings and cygnets, aw.
• Go camping for a single night in your nearest regional/national park. You get fresh air, a change of scenery and a mini hassle free adventure.
• Go thrift shopping, limiting yourself to $10 or less. What can you get? Something weird, classy, cool or for your best friend.
• Make stupid videos - I spent serious time making this video as part of going away card. You can do better, rise to the level of internet meme… hours of fun!
• Make play-dough. I’m serious. Get back to your childhood and whip up a batch of dough (recipe here) and use food colouring to dye it wild hues. Sculpt and carve away your frustrations!
• Stargaze in the countryside and find your favorite constellation.
• Enjoy time with some of the friendliest college squirrels around.
• Challenge your suite-mates to a highly intense video or board game.
• Soak up some vitamin D while laying on any of the many campus lawns.
• Act out a real-life version of Lord of the Rings at 1 a.m. around campus buildings.
• Spend the evening in, with rented movies.
• Splurge on cheap and generous Chinese take-out.
• Dress up or host a theme party (such as Luau, Anything but Clothes, 80s, Rockstar, Halloween, Pick Your Stereotype, etc.).
• Make a difference in someone else's life. Find a volunteer opportunityTake a bike ride to Lake Bracken in the fall or spring.
