This week went by too fast. There are too many deadlines coming up! Is that how you feel too? Spring break is almost here though, and for me and many others on the quick quarter schedule that means FINALS. So to get those off our minds, let’s take an adventure downtown. Instead of watching a movie, getting sucked into the artificial realities of Hollywood. There is a time and place for movie nights, but tonight is not one of those nights. 
Whether you are in New York City or a Podunk town in Nebraska…
- Go to an improvisational comedy club. Have you ever scene “Who’s Line is it Anyway?” Stand up comedy is also really great, especially when going with a group of people.
- Gaming centers are fantastic for the inner-gamer and are a nice compliment to the dinner & date combo.
- Go to a show at one of your city’s venues. They’re usually cheap, depending on the lineup, they’re fun, and it’s an ideal way to support local musicians.
- Take a walk and admire window displays and city lights and the rush of taxi cabs and cars along the avenues. I strongly encourage getting lost. It’s the best way to find new places and to have spontaneous adventures.
- Go to that restaurant that is known for their delectable desserts, even though it’s super fancy. Order some dessert and fries. It’s a GREAT combination.
- Get lost in the city’s large library.
- Find a large body of water and skip stones.
- Go to a museum.
- Ride bikes through downtown and feel the rush of going downhill.
- Swing dancing! Salsa dancing! Blues dancing!
- Play Scrabble with friends at a coffee shop.
Whatever you end up doing today, remember to relax. I hope your Friday is adventurous.
P.S. I am convinced that I will be able to work Scrabble into each of these lists.
