Congratulations to all you out there who finished up the fall semester today. I only have one piece of advice for today…..take at least an hour to not think about about anything school or life related. Do something completely thought numbing and blissful.

Top five ways to induce mind numbing hours

Watch the Transformers movies with the volume turned up really loud
While the acting is not Oscar worthy and the premise shaky, these movies are totally absorbing and fun.

Check out TasteSpotting and make something
Billed as a “community driven pot-luck,” you’ll quickly forget your thoughts and only think of your stomach.

Build full fledged igloo
It’s a big job to build an igloo; that’s why it’s the perfect thing to help you clear your mind. Plus, how cool would it be to have a full-fledged igloo to your name?

Gossip about the past
Normally I wouldn’t suggest this, as it is totally unproductive. However, seeing as this is the point of the exercise, go for it! Call up an old friend and gossip your heart away.

Go rock-climbing
Most major cities have gyms with rock climbing walls. You don’t need to know anything to climb to the top. But once you are there, you’ll feel relaxed and realize that you’ve forgotten everything you were thinking about.
