What I've Learned Wednesday

Hey all!

So you know on Friends when Ross is taking his sabbatical and Joey teaches him how to spread out his time effectively?
If for some crazy reason your answer is no then here's the link.

See, Joey is actually giving his dear friend a gift. The gift of relaxation!
 There are so many articles out there with advice on how to fit more work and activities into your day. But what about those of us on the other end of the spectrum? Those of us with to little to do??
So in order to bring a little help to these needy, needy people I present you with my "What I've learned" post for this week:

How to successfully waste your time when you have no schoolwork or job!

1. Unpack
So this involves the actual act of getting into your boxes which of course takes an annoyingly large amount of time. Then you have to clear your apartment/house of all the boxes/plastic/crap that you now have no use for.  You may even have to actually drive to get to a recycling area!
This could take days if not weeks to fully accomplish.  I give it 2 weeks of excuse worthy time.

2. Decorating
Pinterest. Enough said.

3. Cleaning
Because having a completely spotless apartment suddenly seems very important doesn't it??

4. Exercise
Because like cleaning, suddenly having the perfect butt seems super necessary.
This also buys you some more Pinterest time. Score!!

5. Dog walks
Or anything that can make your dog as tired as canine-ly (See what I did there? Cuz it's not "humanly"?? Clever stuff, I know) possible.
Basically if they don't look like this:
6.
then you haven't walked or fetched for long enough. You should try to push them to just before their limit. Don't kill them or anything. I mean, who would you talk to all day?? Yourself??!! That would just make you a crazy person.


6. School stuff
This one is obviously super boring. But it would probably be a good plan to at least look into your continued plans for your education. Probably.

7. Actually get a job
Lol!


But seriously.

What I've Learned Wednesday: How to survive one week without your stuff

This photo has nothing to do with the post. I'm just tired and thinking about snow.

So for this WILW we're going to talk about something I've had a glorious amount of experience with.

How to live without your stuff for one full week.

(Plus a couple days. But who's counting? Right?)

So here's the full boring story:

Me and the Mr. hired a moving company to help us with our horribly long and crazy move, but it turns out that you "could" have to wait "up to" 15 days for your belongings to actually get to you.

Now, it didn't actually take the full 15 days for us. It was only 12.

Just 12 days.

12 days without my stuff.

I know, I know.

"First world problems," you say.

But still. It was rough. 

And here are the things that I learned helped to get one through those trying times.

1. Camping gear.

It packs down small so you can fit it in the car and still make it the 24 hours to your destination. 

Also, even an air mattress and sleeping bags beats sleeping on the floor.

2. Starbucks.

You forgot to bring along your coffee maker and that sucks. But Starbucks is delicious and not only gets you the caffeine you need, but also gives you reason to get out of your empty apartment.

Win+Win

3. Two words: Arrested Development.

When you forgot to pack any and all dvd's what other show would you choose??!

Plus it streams for free on Amazon Prime. 

4. Dog.

Or any animal I assume. Just as long as it can see your sadness and then cuddle it away.

My dog can.

5. Wine and Chocolate.

I don't think I really need to explain this one.

What I've Learned Wednesday (on Friday)
