Having a day off sounds great until you find yourself wondering what to actually do and end up spending the whole day in bed. Here are some tips what to do on your day off.
With constantly being on the run, the meal that seems to suffer the most seems to be breakfast. But breakfast is actually so important as it provides us with energy for the day.

Re-watch the whole Harry Potter series, that should take up nearly 20 hours of your day. You can even host a cute little movie night at your place and invite a couple of friends over.
You know you’ve got too many clothes that you’re not actually wearing anymore. So create a Depop account and start making some Dollar. We all know students live on a tight budget, so getting that little bit of extra cash is always nice.
