Watching sports
A lifeline, deadass. Movies were way too much for me. Pick a team and start caring a lot. My favorites are the Knicks (duh) and the slam season in tennis. But I'll watch anything now. Everything's on YoutubeTV which has a generous free trial period. Good to have in general when you're moving around from place to place, so you can watch your sports without logging into a ton of separate apps on every new TV. But not gonna give it a separate rec bc Google is not my friend.
ONAR Andros
Went with three friends and we paid 2400 for a full week in a gorgeous house (600 each). Three bathrooms. Beach right out of the Odyssey…swans literally appeared while we were swimming. Delicious abundant fresh food, quick ferry from Athens - caveat long and windy drive from town to hotel (take a cab and plan not to leave for your whole stay).
BUR - JFK
You probably know this one already but just in case you don't, it is my fiduciary duty to post it. Avoiding LAX is one of the most important things a person can do for their mental health and well-being. JetBlue flies directly from NYC to Burbank and vice versa. I don't care if you have a Delta kink...you need to avoid LAX.
Moving in with your parents
If you can. Having living parents who are willing to run it back and take care of you when you're an adult is like winning the lottery. I was deeply lucky in this way.
