My fall break involved a reconnection with all the digital media I have been missing out on due to school work and football. Although the football schedule cut into my free time this weekend, Monday turned out to be a full day with no commitments. After sleeping in until noon, the day began off with an intense period of Fifa. Some friends and I spent approximately three straight hours playing Fifa, mixed in with eating Chinese food and donuts. Needless to say, it was not an especially healthy way to spend a Monday, but it felt so right. After those three hours, we finally moved on to the next digital activity: Netflix. I have been to busy to catch any of my favorite shows over the past month of school, so it was binge time on Netflix. We cruised through two hours of Family guy with ease, stopping only for dinner. Once we finished dinner, we returned once more to the cave. Picking up a couple more friends, the environment got even more competitive. Cycling through Fifa, NHL, and NHL arcade, the testosterone filled room could be heard throughout the hallway whenever a big play was made, luckily no one was in the hallway to be disturbed.

Besides video games and Netflix, I also caught up on music. During the summer when I have plenty of free time, I am usually able to search through the internet for new music to add to my iTunes. Obviously, I haven’t had that free time at school, so I was very behind. Thus, during break I found some time to find  new songs which was enjoyable.

Overall, fall break was a really nice time to step back from the stress of academic life by being disgustingly lazy and a total bum.
