I hope that all of you had a wonderful winter break and that you are ready to take on this new semester. I got to stay here and work with the <a href=\"http:\/\/athletics.uwsp.edu\/index.aspx?path=wbball\">Pointers women\u2019s basketball team<\/a> as the athletic trainer, and I had a problem. I would come home, park my butt on the couch, and turn on Netflix. EVERY. DAY. Granted, I would do stuff while I was on the couch (job applications, reviewing anatomy and evaluations and studying for my certification exam); I still was just on the couch.<\/p>\n<p>So, further into break I had a light-bulb moment. Sure, Netflix is awesome, but what if I did something that wasn\u2019t Netflix? Crazy right?!<\/p>\n<p>Not crazy actually, at the time I was more like \u201cOh my goodness Sarah you genius!\u201d So I did some research, and by research I mean that I sat on Pinterest for two hours looking for ideas and these are some that I came up with for doing things when Netflix just isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready? Here goes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find a coloring page that is interesting and color! Or if you\u2019re like me, get an awesome coloring book and do a page a day.<\/li>\n<li>Look on Pinterest for a recipe or a craft and make that your project.<\/li>\n<li>Read a chapter in a book that you\u2019ve been meaning to start. Or if you\u2019re feeling really ambitious, read the ENTIRE thing!<\/li>\n<li>Find an at-home work out that you think is cool and, in the words of Nike, JUST DO IT!<\/li>\n<li>Re-organize your room, clean it, or both!<\/li>\n<li>Go for a walk, run, bike ride, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Call someone you haven\u2019t heard from in a long time and catch up.<\/li>\n<li>Have a spa day, or dedicate your day to complete relaxation.<\/li>\n<li>Start a journal or write a short (or long) story.<\/li>\n<li>Go to Starbucks or a caf\u00e9 and people watch.<\/li>\n<li>Create a bucket list or a list of places that you want to travel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Or \u2026 my absolute favorite for being home alone (drum roll please)\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Crank up your favorite music and DANCE PARTY!<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully these help you guys like they helped me. Now, these are only some ideas, you may find something else that is interesting to you. So, I wish you all luck in finding something new to do!<\/p>\n<p>-Sarah<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/category\/students\/sarah-p\/\">Sarah Pettit<\/a> is a senior majoring in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/shcp\/Pages\/major.aspx?name=Athletic%20Training\">athletic training<\/a> at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back everybody!
