Free Entertainment: 5 Things That Don’t Cost a Cent!
Apart from being the world’s leading expert on procrastination , I’m also pretty good at finding free stuff to do. It’s what you do when you live on low funds! Does it take some creativity and research? SURE! But, seriously, most free activities are better and more enjoyable than those things you pay to do! Well, unless you pay to go to a gym…and actually GO to the gym regularly. In a fit of undirected glee, I’ve decided to share with you my top 5 forms of free entertainment. Easy on the wallet, waistline and mind! Try one today!
1. Go for a walk. If you have a car, seek out an exceptionally large, old cemetery. You can get your exercise, your heebie jeebies and your history lesson all in one session. No membership required-unless you plan to stay permanently.
2. Art galleries and museums are sometimes free for the visiting. Check out your local Yellow Page listings to find out if there are free art venues in your neighborhood.
3. Hit the Antique malls. This is a place where you could truly get lost for hours, checking out all the ancient artifacts of yesterday. If you’re the creative type, it’s also a free way to get inspiration for new projects. You can play dress up with old hats, check out decades-old magazines, see how things were made before automation and just generally have a great time, without buying a thing!
4. Volunteer. Spend some time working on a Habitat for Humanity house or helping hand out food at the local foodbank. Sometimes, getting lost in helping others is the best way to forget your own woes, and it CAN be a good time!
5. Check out your area’s community calendar (online, tv commercials, etc.) to see what free events are taking place around you. Anything from old movies to presentations by famous authors can be found, especially in areas where colleges abound. Concerts in local parks are sometimes free, as are some community holiday festivals (think Fourth of July, Halloween, etc.).
In conclusion, if you’re monetarily-challenged like me and you tell me you can’t find anything to do, you may want to duck, because I will most likely be aiming to slap you upside the head! Culture, education and helping, while free, are some of the most rewarding activities around!
Oh SHOOT!!! I forgot to put the credits in! I’m glad u said something. The only one that I took is the Cemetery pic. Poopie-I’ll get those pic credits fixed NOW!
