Waiting in line to see President Obama at Carmichael Arena? Here’s a list of activities to keep you entertained while you’re waiting to hear the Prez.
1. Study for finals
Oh yeah, FINALS are right around in the corner. There’s a good possibility that most of us have forgotten about them with all the upcoming excitement. The University has asked students not to bring bags into the events, but I’m sure flashcards could fit in a pocket.
2. Play “I Spy” for Secret Service on the rooftops.
It’s no secret that the Secret Service (or whoever is inside those massive, tinted black SUVs) is hanging out to protect the president. Instead of playing “Where’s Waldo?” why not play “Where’s the Secret Service?”
3. Feel sorry for the Duke and N.C. State kids because the president isn’t stopping by their school.
Haha, just joking.
4. Read the Hunger Games
I bet Katniss never had to deal with Secret Service agents, insane lines and freezing cold to meet President Snow. Maybe you’ll find your very own Peeta while you are at it.
5. Read all the Kvetches from the last year.
Why not read your classmates’ complaints? You can relive the Morrison Basketball Girl days and all the love professions to Kendall Marshall. It’s basically a yearbook.
6. Brainstorm new places in Davis to, well, you know…
If you don’t know what this means you haven’t read the DTH lately. And need to have more fun.
7. Play Angry Birds, Draw Something or Words With Friends
These are some of the most addicting games you can play on a phone. Take Alec Baldwin as living proof that these games can keep you busy. Plus, with finals around the corners, our Draw Something time may be limited. We should try to take advantage of the time we have left.
8. Sing Dave Matthews Band songs and wish you were a senior.
“You come crash into me and I come into you, I come into you, In a boys dream, In a boys dream…”
9. Get your friend to save your place in line while you go grab some Alpine.
See, now you’re craving a cinnamon sugar bagel.
