Below are some ideas on what to do Labor Day weekend if you are stuck on campus.
Go downtown!
Especially if you are a freshman, this is the perfect time to explore your new home. Grab some friends and take a day trip downtown. You can go to a music festival, go to a museum, or just go out to dinner and walk around. Either way, you will make new memories with some amazing people.
Participate in events on campus.
Colleges know that there are students still on campus Labor Day weekend so many clubs and organizations will host events. It creates the perfect environment to get to know more people since it will be less crowded then normal.
Get to know your roommate.
If your roommate is staying on campus as well, spend some time together! You can go to the library and study together, explore campus, or just chill out. It is a great opportunity to get to know more about each other so early on in the school year.
Catch up or get ahead on homework.
Somehow I feel like I am already behind in school even though it started a week ago. Take advantage of the extra time off to catch up on your work and start getting ahead for next week. It sucks seeing all your friends having fun at lake houses etc, but you will thank yourself later for getting ahead when everyone else is drowning in work.
