Ideas to Switch Up Your Weekend Lineup

By Lauren Jones

Whether you want a break from going out or just want to spice up your normal routine, it is exciting to find new ways to spend the weekend. Here are some ways you can feel more entertained, engaged, and content during some well-deserved time off:

• Go see a movie in a real movie theater, like the Regal UA in KOP

• Have a mixology contest with your friends

• Take the train to Philly and be a tourist

• See a live performance, like at the Theater of Living Arts in Philly

• Host a baking night

• Channel your inner-child with a Just Dance night

• Karaoke night

• Pack a picnic with your friends

• Cook dinner for your roomates 

• Plan a presentation night with your friends (with a random topic/prompt of your choosing)

• Host an in-house movie marathon

• Go on a late night diner trip to Minella’s

• Go shopping/ browse Suburban Square

• Check out a new park

• Watch a sunset

• Stargaze!

• Go on a hike with your friends

• Try a new workout/yoga class

• Take a stroll around the town – if you live off campus, this is a great way to get to know your area better 

• Visit your old dorms on campus

• Switch up your typical Sunday study spot

Balance is key in having an enjoyable and rejuvenating weekend. Any time spent with friends is time well-spent, no matter the activity. Switching up your normal routine can help create unforgettable memories, and hopefully you will have some laughs along the way.
