With such a small window of time allotted during midday break, or in between meetings, it is important to make the most of it. Ranging from the largest to the smallest, here is a guide we&#8217;ve compiled, based on suggestions from the experts themselves: your classmates! Here&#8217;s an explanation of the best way to take advantage of your downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hang out with friends.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Talk to the RC in the office or set up a time to hang out and chat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Play Ultimate Frisbee on Yare with some friends! Ultimate being the sport of choice due to IMSA&#8217;s vivid inability to play football.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Work out or lift weights.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Watch Grey\u2019s Anatomy or Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D on Netflix. If you want to watch a movie, you could always ask certain classmates with questionably large hard drives full of questionably large movie libraries. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Have &#8220;Dance Parties&#8221; with your quad! Dance moves included but not limited to: The Robot, The Macarena, The Vimal, The Cat Daddy, The Dougie, The Running Man, The Worm, or anything that <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rap battles! Don&#8217;t have friends near you? Rapchat! There are some former StudCo Presidents with strong rap battle reputations. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Play Desperate Housewives of 02A.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Go into your RC\u2019s apartment&#8230; with permission, hopefully.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make weird food, such as teddy bear grahams as cereal. (Making &#8220;normal&#8221; food is also an option. Panini presses seem to be getting popular.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Go hall hopping, but don&#8217;t skip 05 or 02!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Play Counterstrike, tough that&#8217;s probably not the best suggestion for pacifists&#8230; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Binge on Teen Wolf.&#8221; The author didn&#8217;t mention whether they meant the TV show or the 1985 movie, but we guess the one with more of Daniel Sharman and Dylan O\u2019Brien.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> To quote another student: &#8220;I\u2019m always busy&#8230;&#8221; <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Blast music at the 05 slabs, but not too loud. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do sit-ups. Like a lot of them. Like 300. How else are you going to impress the undergrad student at your SIR? Like, really? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Choreograph dances.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Draw stuff in the Multimedia lab in the IRC. If you really have a passion for it, join Feather, IMSA&#8217;s digital art and illustration club. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Play giant chess, but not with certain juniors who like to hit their opponents with the king.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last but not least, our personal favorite: Pull out your \u201cyoung mula baby\u201d and get your \u201cChipotles.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regardless of how you choose to spend your time, IMSA is a diverse campus.
