Agreed that perfect days are hard to come by. But then again, definition of 'perfect' varies from person to person. It's peculiar how a day of not doing anything could qualify as perfect too. Don't believe me? Well then try bunking all lectures & just relaxing the whole day. Don't do this everyday as too much perfection can be boring too. You sometimes need a bit of bad luck or imperfection to make the day exciting & later think about it & smile at your misfortune. Isn't that feeling perfect too?
Putting aside defining all this crap, let's talk about how to have a perfect day. If you are too much of a pussy to skip classes & it's your day off, then there are many things you can do to have a perfectly entertained day. Read below:
1. Write a blog while listening to music. I am doing that right now. This way, process of writing isn't too heavy on your head & you come up with happier thoughts and ideas instead of depressing, petty dramas of your life.
2. Music is bliss! If you want to be productive, but are procrastinating study or work, music is perfect. I know that during studies, watching movies and youtube are huge distractions. But when you are soaking in your favorite beats, you don't want to pause & go back to doing something else. Now that you got nothing to do while listening to music, open the unfinished assignment & see how fast you tame that bitch. Many-a-times, I have found this process highly effective when I have to wrap-up a code & swinging to your beats while working makes it so much less boring. How this contributes to your perfect day? Well, when you have finished a dragging assignment, isn't that feeling perfect?!
3. A perfect day is when you catch up with your family or 2-3 precious friends. I bet the conversations with them are pretty long & after hours of talking, you are cheerful for the rest of the day. This is such a simple pleasure & yet contributes so much to the day. Yesterday I talked with my best friend for 2 hours & my face still hurts with all the laughing!
4. COOK. Yes, not kidding. As you are so free today, go ahead, prepare something you have been craving for days. May it be a complex dish or a simple improvisation, go crazy. However it turns out, the cooking will definitely cheer you up. It's so calming and absorbing.
5. Movies. Some days I just want to curl up in my blanket & watch movies. Get that cup of hot chocolate & binge watch movies, series or whatever that you have been missing out on due to the hectic week. I sometimes love to drench myself in the ideal world of movies & steer clear of the real world. Love gaming? Go for it! When you get bored (which I seriously doubt you will), go out, meet friends. That's always an option.
6. Go out. Go to museums, parks, lakes or just to a friend's place to hang out. Museums are perfect. You steal away from your usual ambiance & stroll through a myriad of historic marvels. Parks & lakes are perfect if you have been trapped indoors the whole week. Breathe in & get rejuvenated for the next week. Walk around or ride in the parks. Chill with friends. Have cook-outs if the weather is good. Numerous options!
7. Attend every event you come across. Facebook is a great source of all the events going on in your city. Go to every single one. It's enriching & fun. Meet people, talk, drink & just let everything go. Go to after-parties & don't come back home till 5 in the morning. There you go, perfect day.
8. Go shopping. Fancy stores, second-hand stores, flea markets. Anywhere. Cheap & good stuff makes one happy, obviously! Expand your style, buy designs and patterns you never wore before & play with them. Explore outside your styling options by buying vintage & bizarre accessories. T-shirts with cocky quotes are definitely another viable option.
9. Indulge in old hobbies. If you like painting, reading or poetry or whatever & have been too busy to pay attention to them, now is the time. Trust me, you haven't lost your talent. It's still there, dying to crawl back to surface. I was astounded when my paintings turned out so well even though it had been ages since I last held a brush. It's refreshing to delve back into your interests. Live a little!
10. Go to art galleries. If you are an art lover, you will obviously enjoy it & if you are not, make fun of the pieces. If it's abstract, then even better. Decipher the meaning behind a meaningless piece of art. Goof around. But don't get caught & get kicked out for creating nuisance! But even that's fun, so yeah, do it (if you have the guts)!
11. Attend concerts. If it's your favorite band, spend the money. Enjoy a night of shouting with the rest of your counterparts (fans) while engulfed in your favorite songs.
These are only a few things you can indulge in, but YOU define how to perfectly spend a day. So, go ahead, do whatever makes you happy. Any additions to this list are welcome.
