The sooner that today, and our readings, are over, the more relaxation and festivities we can enjoy. Hopefully you\u2019re in a playful mood this weekend because I have a game for those competitive folk out there!\n\nAlso, here\u2019s a light video to bring you into the festive spirit - if you\u2019re not there already!\n\nhttpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BlitbJKaYy0\nLaura\u2019s Big Turkey Competition (aka her plans for the holidays)<\/strong>\n\nTo be played with your friends to see who wins the title of\u00a0 \u201cBiggest Turkey\/ Thanksgiving Winner!!!\u201d\n\nLaura\u2019s Rules \u2013 for the game and for life<\/em>\n\nDon\u2019t cheat, steal or lie.\n\nPoints are allotted for each situation completed - bonus points depend on the situation.\n\nSituations<\/em>\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Get outside for a half-hour minimum. Doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re staying in the city, or heading home, get some fresh air! If running is your thing, and you\u2019re staying in the city, the forecast is perfect for hitting up Varsity Centre track<\/a> or trying a running route around campus<\/a>!\no\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01 point for getting outside for 30 continuous minutes\no\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01 point for each additional person you bring with you!\no\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a02 points for going for a jog\n\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Sleep 7 hours \u2013 in a row! I\u2019ve been watching my readings stack up and since I\u2019m a bit behind I\u2019ve been sacrificing my bedtime, not this holiday though!\no\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a02 points for every extra hour you sleep. Ex. If you sleep 9 hours: 1pt (for making it past 7) + 4pts = 5pts!\n\n3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Eat as if it\u2019s NOT your last Thanksgiving. What I mean by that is, don\u2019t do what I do! Again, do NOT eat as much possible as soon as possible. This won\u2019t be your last turkey, or stuffing, or potato or whatever it is you\u2019ll be eating this weekend. So moderation is key.\no\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01 point for putting your fork down when you\u2019re full.\no\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a02 Bonus points for saying \u201cNo\u201d to a 2nd piece of pumpkin pie.\no\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Negative 1 point if you say \u201cYes\u201d to a 2nd piece of pie.\n\n4.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Battle for leftovers\no\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a01 point for each serving of leftovers you have for next week\u2019s lunch.\no\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Negative 2 points for saying \u201cNo\u201d to leftovers. Leftovers are the best!\n\n5.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Relax. Relax. Relax.\no\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0There is so much more to life than being a student. In 4 years (unless you\u2019ve got PhD plans, sorry) the stress of looming midterms will be a lost brain cell you can\u2019t even remember to look for.\no\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a010 points if you feel stress free on Tuesday morning.\n\nThis game looks way easier to write than actually play, however I\u2019m going to give it my best shot. Not only to win the competition (that I\u2019ve started with my fellow bloggers) but to hopefully un-wind before getting wound-up again!\n\n \n\nIf nothing else, hopefully I\u2019ll be back here Tuesday with a few less bags under my eyes, some clean laundry and extra turkey for my lunches.\n\n \n\nTTFN and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!\n\n \n\n-Laura\n\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
