Some unharmful impulsive things to do to live your life to the fullest
In these times, the days can tend to feel monotonous and boring. Here are some impulsive (but harmless) things to do that will *totally* make you feel like the main character and be excited about everyday life again.
Note: Make sure to wear your mask, and avoid large crowds and gatherings!

Write encouraging notes and put them on people’s windshields
Something like “Hey you! You got this :)” goes a long way.
Dance in the rain
Bonus points for playing old-timey music in the background! We suggest “La vie en rose” or “Serenade in Blue.”
...or in the grocery store aisles!
Stargaze in your backyard from 4 a.m. until sunrise
Count the stars, paint the sunset, whatever you’d like! Just make sure to catch up on sleep after.
Write a dramatic love letter and send it to random addresses
Something like “O Insert random name, wherefore art thou random name? By any other word would smell as sweet. I awaited you under the moonlight till daybreak, but woe is me! You did not show…” We guarantee the recipient of this letter will be *rolling* over in laughter.
Snack on a head of cabbage
Did you know that several colleges have cabbage eating clubs now? Crazy!
Go up to someone and act mad, saying: “Are you KIDDING me...you actually went out looking that freaking *snatched* today?”
Step out of your comfort zone, practice your acting skills, and make somebody’s day...um, yes!
Scroll through your contact list with your eyes closed and press call
You will get *such* a rush of adrenaline doing this, and who knows? Maybe you’ll reconnect with an old friend.
Buy a single potato at the store
Why not?
Gift drive-through workers with flowers
Get your daily dose of kindness here!
Go through everyone you’ve ever chatted on Snapchat with, say their name and then leave
More adrenaline...we’re basically recreating the roller coaster experience at home.
Search your name on Spotify or Apple Music and create a playlist full of those songs
10/10 recommend. If you don’t have a common name, make one for a name you really like. Here’s an example (shoutout to all the Sofia's and Sophia's out there!):
Compliment people for things they don’t have (but don’t forget about the things they do!)
Say something like “I love those red heeled boots so much. They look awesome on you!” even if they’re not wearing any. They'll be confused but amused at the same time.
Go out in a fancy dress
Get some fab Instagram pics while you’re at it.
Text *the* person
You know who we’re talking about. Go for it!
At the end of the day, you only have one life, so live it to the *fullest.*
