Doing Nothing Is My Favorite Thing To Do

And no, that does not make me lazy.

Doing Nothing Is My Favorite Thing To Do
Sydnie Newman

I am a college student. I have two to three classes every day. I then, usually, have homework or need to study for my classes. I also love to work out, so I try to work out at least five times a week. I also have a job that I work about 15 hours a week. I love my social life. I love to hang out with my friends whether it is going to dinner, or checking out a cool new pop-up in Raleigh, or going downtown for a fun night out.

I love to keep busy and constantly doing things, but sometimes I want to just chill and relax.

There are lots of things I love to do, but doing nothing is one of my favorite things do. Just taking a day off from my life and lying in bed watching movies, or reading at a cool coffee shop, or chilling on the couch watching reruns of Sex and The City are some of my favorite "nothing" activities.

Even though doing nothing is not necessarily an activity, it is my favorite activity. When I have a busy week, I plan a couple hours over the weekend to just relax and not think about anything. This allows me to relax and unwind, something I wish I could do more often.

Everyone needs a break, including all my friends and roommates. Since we all like to relax every once in a while, it is especially fun to do nothing with my friends and roommates. Getting food to-go and eating it while watching movies with my roommates makes doing nothing ever more fun. It's always nice to unwind with others who are just as busy as you.

If you’ve never done nothing, I highly recommend it. It really is a luxury (to me at least).

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
