Don't wait until your next off to start exploring your curiosity.

Check your closet for the pile of clothing you have sitting since you bought it. Bring the clothes out and let your friends take dibs on each. Give your clothes a new life by swapping them with your close friends.

Tell your friend to bring theirs too. During the swap, try on the clothes you chose and ask your friends' opinion if they look awesome. Donate or sell the remaining clothes from the 'swap pile.'


8. Host a party or a game night.

Everyone loves games. Borrow some classic board games from your parents' house or buy new ones from the store. Add some twist to your game by using a scoring system and pushing losers to do a dare.

On the other hand, winners should get prizes. Add some snacks and refreshments for guests who need a boost of energy.


9. Join a free online class.

There are several online platforms offering classes on various specialties. These platforms became popular because they are accessible and free. Top universities like Standford, Princeton, and Yale offer thousands of videos and lectures you can open across devices as long as you are connected to the Internet.
