+1

Spring forward, fall back. Last night we turned our clocks back an hour, and to everyone’s excitement, we gained an extra hour to our day. Life gets so busy and it always seems like the main thing that we're lacking is time. So today we were given an extra hour to our day, but what does this mean for you? What are you going to do with that extra hour?

Most people say SLEEP.

A wise choice, especially if you've been going hard for midterms (or Halloween!). Enjoy the extra Zzz's!

Here are some other options:

• Exercise. Go for a run, hit the gym, go to a workout class- now you can't use the "I don't have time" excuse!
• Catch up on some reading. Whether it's school reading, the newspaper, or simply your newest magazine, catch up!
• Watch an episode of your favorite show (since you've been taping them during midterms)
• Cook up a storm. You'll be set for meals and yummy treats this week, and that'll definately keep you in a great mood
• When was the last time you cleaned your room? Well now you have time!
• Go through your clothes. It's getting colder and winter fashion is coming, so go through your closet and make a list of what you need to buy (or put together some cute outfits!)
• Catch up with a friend or family member. A simple phone call, texchange, or even quick coffee just to catch up

 

Choosing what to do with that extra hour is quite a decision. We don't put much thought into it and just go along like any other day. But what would you do if you were given an extra hour every day? Would you change your usual plans, change your priorities? We get so caught up with what needs to get done in our lives, but what ever happened to doing what we want? On that note, I hope you all enjoyed this 25-hour day and lived that extra hour to its fullest!
