The other night at a retro Guy Fawkes bonfire bash down in college town, we went around asking students a variety of miscellaneous questions intended to gauge the level of their life-smarts. This is what we found. (Note- these are fictional interviews)
Dave, 26, physics: "Should? Well, you should exercise like every day. Do I? No. See this gut? Yeah." Angela, 23, humanities: "I think the official recommendation is 5 days a week. I try to do that, but sometimes I end up eating ice cream instead. You know, if boys just had more realistic expectations, we wouldn't have to worry about looking good and we wouldn't get so hurt when they suddenly dump us and then we wouldn't eat ice cream. Idiots."
Pack up foods you loved as a kid (did someone say Squeeze-its and Twinkies?), grab a blanket, some friends, and head outdoors. Enjoy the fresh air, sunshine, and the craze that will overcome you when that candy starts pouring out.
Every once in a while we may run into a self-employed individual who runs a business that is so successful that they can afford to kick their feet up and watch the money pour in, but recognize that this is not the norm. The large majority of self-employed people have to show a huge display of discipline to ensure they are making the best use of their time and that all of their work is being done. And if they decide to relax and take it easy for a day, they'll most likely see their income suffer as a result.
Three - Photo scavenger hunt. This is a great activity to do outdoors, especially somewhere with a lot of wildlife. Make a list of ten or fifteen plants, animals, and land formations and start snapping some photos. This is most ideally done in groups with a prize waiting for the quickest team. Add some nature to some raw human competition, and have the time of your life.
Four - Trail running. There is something about trail running that taps into the roots of human nature. No equipment needed - just your body and the trails becoming one.
Not only is this an excellent form of exercising, but it is a great way to rejuvenate your spirit. Enjoy the beauties of nature as you run along and feel the fresh air cleaning out your worries. Go as long or as short, as fast or as slow as you want. There's nothing to judge you out in the wild.
So there it is. This is how our college constituent thinks. Some of them are smart but lazy, others are smart and act like it, and a few are just a little bit ignorant. Just in case you were wondering, you should exercise regularly, shut off your gas stove when you're not using it, always have a designated driver and you had better get your own insurance when you are 26 years old. Jessika had it right on that last one.
It is important for students and other young workers to get their own insurance by the time they are 26. If you are a student there are some great sources for you to find affordable health insurance. If you are just working, there are just as many opportunities for you too. So start looking around and make sure you are buying health insurance that is right for you!
