Exams or not, \u00a0it\u2019s inevitable, that come December 21st<\/sup> we will all be free! For a little while at least\u2026but let\u2019s not think about 2012 just yet. We\u2019ve still got some celebrating before January 9th<\/sup> hits. I\u2019ve compiled a list of relaxing, energizing and fun activities to help you enjoy the holidays and a few pointers on how to avoid some common traps! Or perhaps it\u2019s just my<\/em> to-do list to help me keep active in the season of over-consumption and over-indulgence! I'd be surprised if I'm the only one who over-consumes and later repents. If this sounds familiar, maybe this post will speak to you.\n\nTo Do:\n
    \n\t
  1. Skating \u2013 Lace up at the outdoor at City Hall if you\u2019re staying in the city, or some backyard in a smaller town if you\u2019re heading home!<\/li>\n\t
  2. Snowball fight!!! Kidding\u2026there\u2019s no snow\u2026but if there is, then do it!<\/li>\n\t
  3. Buy the heaviest boots you can and wear them all the time. (I did that and now I regret it, except on days that are below -20. Then I\u2019m pleased.)<\/li>\n\t
  4. Sign up for a registered program<\/a> now, so you can stick with it and start fresh in 2012! Trampolining to triathlon they've got something for everyone...I just sent my form in today to register for triathlon!<\/li>\n\t
  5. Lug your textbooks to the used textbook store and get redeemed for some cash moola to help buy those remaining gifts! (Or the first gift, that\u2019s right, I\u2019ve got nothing so far! Yikes!)<\/li>\n\t
  6. Don\u2019t run outside in the rainy weather, move indoors to the track in the AC.<\/a><\/li>\n\t
  7. Walk 'n shop! Avoid the mall, the stores are too close together and the people too pushy! Take your list to the streets and enjoy the fresh air!<\/li>\n\t
  8. Cut down your own tree and then drag it home!! Try not to lose any needles, but don\u2019t strain your back either.<\/li>\n\t
  9. Set-up a sweet holiday playlist and then dance around your house celebrating the end of exams! If I could write and dance I\u2019d be doing that right now!!!<\/li>\n\t
  10. Hit up the Athletic Centre before heading home! They\u2019ve got excellent drop-in classes<\/a> to rev you up before that holiday party, so you have a hardy appetite for all that amazing food you're about to enjoy!<\/li>\n\t
  11. Make all your homemade baked goods by hand! Say no to electric mixers and tone up your biceps and deltoids. Make sure to switch stirring hands so you don\u2019t have one big and one small arm!<\/li>\n\t
  12. Best of all, enjoy yourself! You\u2019re only a student for the first half of your life, or longer, if this is your second undergrad. Like me. Whoop!!!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nHappy Holidays Everyone!!! Ta ta for now and toodles till 2012!!!\n\nXL","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
