All work and no play makes for a pretty boring life. Remember when you didn’t have to think about having a good time? The days were long and relaxing, and there were plenty of good times to be had because responsibility was minimal.
1) Sleep In
As an adult, the weekends are usually reserved for knocking stuff out you didn’t get done during the week, right? Not this time. Sleep in and don’t feel guilty. Even better, call in to work one morning and tell them you’ll be in late. Use the time to do something you haven’t done in a while. Read the paper or watch a movie. Remember, you’re rebelling!
We get it: you have stuff to get done. But look at it this way: sleep is great for you. It restores your body, helps you to heal, repairs your immune system and chips away at the aging process. They don’t call it beauty sleep for nothing.
2) Stay Out Late
Having a schedule means breaking it once in a while, that’s why you should forgo the 10 p.m. bedtime to paint the town red. Sure, you’ll be tired in the morning, but live a little! Go out dancing, have a party, have a girls’ or guys’ night out, or go to a midnight movie. You’ll see that the world is a different place at 1 a.m., and that can be very refreshing.
Teenagers rarely worry about the physical repercussions of staying out late. If a wild night didn’t result in their getting grounded, they’ll probably do the same thing all over again the following night.
3) Be a Little Selfish
Being an adult means making sacrifices for other people at the expense of our own time or resources. The next time a friend asks you to fit something into your already over-extended schedule, just say no. Let yourself enjoy a little free time for yourself and your family.
