FacebookTweet
Justina Tran November 15, 2012 (Updated: October 24, 2014)

Have mid-terms left you feeling mildly burnt-out and listless? Let's bounce back into life with energetic and inventive ways to spruce up your daily routine. Here are nearly effortless ways you can make the most out of this fine day:

 

1) Spend the entire day without complaining about anything

2) Give a sincere compliment to somebody who looks like they are having a bad day

3) Bake a batch of cookies and give them out to people

4) Learn something new by watching an educational video on TED.com
