Go To Bed
Or, just go to bed. Sleep is good for you and will make the next day exponentially better.
Wood Carving
Carve your initials with those of someone you love and give it as a gift or make a toy, decoration, or tool such as a wooden spoon.
Plant a Garden
Plant some seeds, and spend time weeding it and watering your plants. This will get you outside in the sunshine and will provide you with delicious fresh food or beautiful flowers!
Make Shaved Ice Out of Snow
Buy some flavor, pack a couple of cups, find some thick and undisturbed snow, and make some shaved ice! Use it as a treat for the end of a hike or just use your own backyard!
Learn to Cook Something New
Try your hand at some foreign dishes, or just trying making something from scratch that you've never tried before, such as bread, pizza, or mashed potatoes.
Bake Some Cookies
Dip them in milk, take them on a picnic, give them to your friends, or just eat them!
Have a Photo Shoot
Get a friend to pose for you, take a walk outside, or travel to somewhere cool nearby such as a bridge with sweet graffiti or a giant river to take some sweet pics.
Find the Highest Point
Go on a hike or on a walk around your area and find the highest rock or hill or highest floor of a tall building and look out. Continue until you cannot see anything higher in the horizon. Than sing, "I'm on top of the world," meditate, do yoga, journal, play a game, or have a picnic.
Sports!
Basketball, soccer, baseball, racquetball, volleyball, footsall, cricket, football, calvinball, grab a sibling or roommate and play your childhood favorites or learn a new sport! Google all the different sports and pick one!
