Sometimes, weekends are for this:

1) Watching documentaries. Not because you are particularly excited about Zen masters on a Sunday morning, but because you just want to delete something from your forever-long Netflix queue.

2) Instead of cooking dinner, take all your holiday gift cards for chain restaurants and pool them together with your friends and have a decadent Appetizers + Drinks + Dinner + Dessert meal at Applebees.

It’s been a number of years since I had a Maple Butter Blondie. Yum.

3) Screw the syllabus and pick up the books you actually want to read.

Bonus points for books you can begin and finish within a Saturday.

4) Laundry.

This one is not fun, but if you have no clean clothes for the week, you might as well not even live.

(Especially if you are the type of person who forgot to wash any colored clothing the weekend before.)
