7 Productive Tasks To Do On Your Days Off
Helena Lopes

Since I already finished school, I have all this free time now. So what do I do with all this free time you ask? I work. I have been working full-time at my job. Since I no longer have homework, projects, or class stuff to do. I just put all my time into working. I love keeping busy – it makes me feel quite productive and sometimes working doesn't even feel like working, since my coworkers are really cool. But even though I don't mind working, I'm always looking forward to enjoying my days off. After working all week, a couple of days off is well deserved. So what do I do on my days off? Well like I said, I like to stay productive. So I try to do productive things.

1. Run errands.

On my days off, I use my free time to run any errands that need to be done. Whether it is washing my car, grocery shopping, or taking my passport photos, I try to get them done before I have to go back to work the next day or two.

2. Work out.


Even though I work out on days I do work, on my days off I like to incorporate more workout routines. Like instead of taking a group class, I focus on doing legs, arms, or back. I try to do more weight training than cardio on these days, this way I'm also toning and not just burning calories.

3. Go shopping.

I love to go shopping! After having worked a long week, I feel like the best way to reward yourself is to go shopping. It is okay to spend some of that hard-earned money whether you realize this or not. I love to go to the mall and stock up on some cute cardigans or some more make up from Sephora. It is also a great way to unwind. I feel like shopping helps me relax and it reminds me why I work so much... obviously to keep up with my expensive taste.

4. Have a nice lunch or dinner.


Sometimes I can only eat one meal a day because of how busy I am at work. So on my days off, I try to go have a nice, decent, not-rushed meal. I like to sit back and enjoy every last piece that I am eating, and I love to spend time with the people who I am with.

5. Read poetry.

Reading poetry is a great way to relax, and it helps your mind temporarily forget about other things. Poetry has always been a relaxant for me. The way the words flow and the meanings of each poem are all just too beautiful.

6. Hang out with your significant other.

This is my all time favorite thing to do – especially since we are in a long-distance relationship. We try to use our days off to see each other. After a long week of work, I definitely need a hug from my SO.

7. Sleep.

Sometimes you can't even drag me away from my bed. When I am super exhausted, I just like to sleep in all morning... possibly even into the afternoon.


So, friends, those are a few things you can do on your days off!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
