1. Marathon a tv show. Yeah, it will probably be nice outside, but after a full first week of school, let your brain rest.
2. Do the opposite. Take advantage of the Saturday, Sunday and Monday that are supposed to be sunny and in the mid-80’s. Why don’t you play Frisbee on the Quad, go to the pool at the ARC, go for a walk, whatever.
3. Go shopping. You need all your dark colors because remember, no white after Labor Day … just joking. Shop because you (hopefully) still have a little bit of cash after buying books.
4. Go to the farmer's market in downtown Urbana. It’s from 7a.m. until noon.
5. Watch the Illinois-Mizzou football game at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Drink some beer.
6. Get to know your neighbors.
7. See Nas perform at the Canopy Club. Everyone I know who saw him at Rock the Bells said he was amazing.
8. Go out Sunday night. Or day-drink all day Sunday. Or both. It’s the only Sunday of the year that doesn’t have a depressing Monday looming ahead.
9. Sleep. In a month, you’ll miss it.
10. Get outta town. Yeah, you’ve only been here a week, but there’s nothing wrong with heading to Chicago, St. Louis or even Indianapolis while you don’t have tons of obligations holding you back.
