DITCH THE BAR – 5 ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES TO DO IN THE WEEKEND
How many times has this happened to you – after the Friday work grind, you get a message from your buddies to hit the nearest watering hole and get ‘hammered’, ‘smashed’, ‘wasted’, etc. And one night and multiple drinks later, you’re too hungover the next morning to do anything else. There goes another weekend, drunk away from a pint or shot glass.
If you’re tired of this routine, here are five alternate activities you can explore to make your weekend truly memorable!
Do some good
Are you ready for an experience that makes your cliched weekend worth foregoing? Then we suggest you volunteer with an orphanage, an old age home, or maybe even an animal shelter and give the philanthropist in you a reason to celebrate. Chances are you’ll look at the world and your life in new light; and find a cause that is close to your heart.
Be a traveler in your city
Working in any place for a long time tends to put you in a routine that doesn’t let you truly explore the area. And one of the best ways to break away from this, is a bus tour. You’ve probably seen these special buses guide a gaggle of excited tourists through your hometown. But if you believe this experience is only for outsiders, think again. Simply board one of these buses for the day, and you may just discover a whole new side to your city!
Relive your childhood
There’s always something that awakens the child in you. So, why not spend your precious weekend doing exactly that? Get your oldest set of friends together and do everything from kite flying to playing ‘Hop-scotch’ and indulging in a board game. It’s a bet – you’ll love it!
Go the make-over way
One weekend is a good amount of time to give your room a makeover. Be sure to do some research before you clean your closets, clear up some space, and color your walls. Because it’s unlikely you’d want to leave it anytime soon. Alternatively, you could give yourself a makeover too!
Give a new genre a chance!
And by that, we don’t just mean your favorite band. Check your local listings and take a chance on a venue or artist you’ve never heard of. Putting yourself in a concert environment you normally wouldn’t be in is a fresh experience that will stick with you for a long time. Not only that – you may even find a new favorite musician or style of music – all over a weekend!
We wish we could give you more options but then we’ve already spoilt you with choice. So why don’t you get started with these while we get another list ready?
