Recent College Grad- "Me-Day"- A great description

Before coming to college I had no idea what taking a "Me-Day" meant. It was not until I was at the house talking to older brother when he looked over and said "yea it's been a real me-day" when I discovered this amazing concept. Taking a "Me-day" is a concept in which the college student will fore-go all other planned/scheduled events and wind up doing absolutley nothing of importance. This act of "taking a me-day" is often followed by feelings of awesomeness and possible worthlessness. Typical "me-day" activities include sleeping in very late, eating classic college meals such as ramen/cereal/mac-cheese, skipping class, watching movies or daytime sitcoms, and spending a substantial amount of time on social networking websites.(facebook) The great thing about "me-days" is that it is your day to whatever it is you want to do, that is why many of us have our own unique style of a "me-day". In fact I have taken "me-days" that were fairly active. For example instead of going to lecture, I made a trip to the beer store and then me and friends would go to the lake. A "me-day" can be inside or outside. Outside "me-day" activities should always include day-drinking, where as not to mistake "me-day" with working out. Below is two examples of "me-days" both personal and observations of other friends;

Personal:
10:00am-wake up/ 10:30am- Go back to sleep/ 12:15pm- wake back up, put on sweat-pants, and eat some breakfast/ 1:00pm- solid time to surf websites such as facebook, espn, or wikipedia/ 1:30pm- contemplate showering/1:35pm- decide not shower/ 2:00-7:00pm-law and order mini-marathon/ 7:30pm- eat some sort of dinner/ 8:00pm- either start drinking or start a movie with some ice cream/ 10:30-12:00- either go back to sleep or resume internet surfing.

Mac- (it's friday on a nice day)
11:00am- wake up and decide that is so nice that he should resume drinking from the night before./ 11:30am- wake up everyone else in the house with loud music and/or jumping on the bed/ 12:00pm- house trip for food consisting of chicken fingers and fries/ 1:00-4:00pm- Halo with friends and/or young adolescents/ 4:30-7:30- Beer Pong/ 7:30-8:00pm-cook a lean cuisine/8:30pm-go back to sleep from intoxication and/or tiredness/ 12:00am- wake up, shower, and meet people at the bar.

As you can tell both of these days are not only amazing, but both exemplify great activities involved in taking a "me-day". Remember that taking a "me-day" is not about what anyone else wants to do; it's all about #1. However I must warn you that taking several "me-days" consecutivally could lead to taking "me-months" or "me-semesters" which yield low grades, low bank balances, and overall low self-esteems. You've been warned! Now go forth with that attitude so well-beffiting college manhood.
