3 Super Fun Things To Do When You're Alone For The Weekend

In our daily lives, we're so consumed with making plans with other people, that the thought of spending time with ourselves doesn't even occur to us. You may end up spending the evening alone, but it'll rarely be out of choice. It's not something most of us enjoy doing; spending time by or with ourselves. Having to spend the weekend alone equals "depressing" for so many people. The truth is that we're dependent on other people to simply do the things that we want to do. The base of every plan is having company, right? Wrong. You might feel odd doing certain things by yourself at first, but trust us, there's nothing like doing something you love regardless of whether or not you find someone else to do it with you. There's a great deal of pleasure in doing things for yourself and by yourself. To start with, here are a few fun things you can do alone.

1. Watch a matinee show of a "good-bad movie"

You know, the kind of movies no one else would really want to watch (because it's a waste of time), but you don't really mind watching for laughs. When you have nothing planned for the weekend and everyone else seems busy, instead of wasting your time brooding in bed, make a plan with yourself and head out to watch a movie you've missed out on because of lack of company. You'll be amazed what a fun and satisfying experience that can be.

2. Get experimental in the kitchen

You know all those great cooking shows you watch on TV and all those mental notes of "recipes to try" you make in your head - well, it's time to try them out. Getting bored should not be an option when you can walk into a kitchen and start baking or cooking something delicious, which, by the way, you can enjoy even after the task is actually finished. Besides, the grocery/ingredients shopping for the prep will be an additional fun activity in itself too.

3. How about a DIY project?

It doesn't have to be a hectic Pinterest worthy project - something as simple as putting together pictures for around the house would suffice. Fill in those empty frames lying around the house, re-organise your bookshelf, spruce up your home by reusing things you find around. Plenty of things to keep you going through the day.
