I have come to a conclusion. Weekends are easier to make best than weekdays. I know. Shocking. But! My pledge was to make “every day” the best day ever, not just “the days I can lounge around the house in my PJs with a bag of chips in one hand and the TV remote in the other.” With the help of my BFFs I created new strategies to address this conundrum (ooo big word :D).
Strategy 1: Say Hi
My university has more people than some small cities. As such it is very easy to get the “alone in the crowd” feeling. Starting Monday, I am going to attempt to say hello to every person next to whom I sit. Sounds simple enough but I’m already getting butterflies in my belly. Hopefully I’ll meet someone nice by doing this.
Strategy 2: Exercise!
I don’t work out. I have a legitimate excuse really. I’m allergic to sweat. It’s icky and gross and smells bad. Why would I willingly endure such torture? But desperate times call for desperate measures. So exercise I shall. To paraphrase the ever fabulous Elle Woods, exercise give you endorphins; endorphins make you happy; and happy people just don’t kill their husbands… or stare at a wall contemplating the futility of life :)
By weeks end I will have an update on how this worked out. Wish me luck!
