Epic Games' "Fortnite" isn't getting the same buzz it had when the game first came out, but it's still a popular game. It is hard to tell when it will stop being as popular as it currently is, but I know for sure that you will not make me play "Fortnite." Because here are 17 things I'd rather be doing.
1. Go on a solo date
Even though "Fortnite" can be a multiplayer game, I'd rather go on a solo date because I can 1) have a more peaceful time, and 2) treat myself.
2. Play a different video game
Whether it's "NBA 2K" or "NFL Madden" or "NCAA Football," I find that to be more interesting than "Fortnite" because there's a deeper strategy involved. You have to control every aspect of your own team as well as your opponents and you have to be able to find favorable match-ups to your advantage. You make adjustments on the fly more than you do in "Fortnite" because you're basically attacking the whole time.
3. Work out
Who doesn't want to get closer to being in tip-top shape?
4. Go shopping
It doesn't always have to be for clothing, but I can spend my time and money on something that I'll actually use longer than I ever play "Fortnite."
5. Go on a date
I can put myself out there and connect with others over something other than "Fortnite."
6. Sleep
Sleep is a vital component to having a healthy lifestyle.
7. Study/go to class
I can spend that time to prepare for an exam or class and continually progress as a student.
8. Go to church
I'd rather learn more about my Heavenly Creator than to play "Fortnite" during that time.
9. Play/learn to play an instrument
Even if it's the "Fortnite" theme song, I'd think that playing an instrument or learning to play an instrument would be better worth my time.
10. Attend a sporting event
I'm passionate about sports so I'd have a pretty easy time enjoying the game.
11. Go to work
As a student who is currently doing a summer internship, I enjoy the work I do, and I want to gain more experience and skills to make myself more appealing to future employers, especially the company I currently work for.
12. Talk to my best girl friend or best guy friend
My best friends make it feel easy for me to open up to them and promote a judgment-free zone, one in which I am absolutely comfortable.
13. Spend time with my significant other
I don't have a significant other right now, but I'd want to talk to her about how her day is, and listen to her about anything she's talking about the best I can. Any time spent with her would be more worthwhile than playing "Fortnite."
14. Volunteer
I'd get to do community service.
15. Vacation
Assuming I have the time to take one, I'd rather do that and enjoy myself where I can explore and learn about things I didn't know about.
16. Learn to dance
Someday I intend to get married, and I'll have to prepare multiple dances for that special day, and it's a graceful art.
17. Go on a road trip
Going on a road trip is one of the most relaxing things to do and you can listen to music while you drive, and have a blast.
