Simple Ways to Spice up Life and Affect People and Simply Have More Fun on a Day to Day Basis

A)  Join some organization where you don't really belong.  If you're white, join the African Student Organization.  If you're straight, join the Rainbow Alliance.  Etc.

B)  Dance while you walk.

C)  When you enter a room, do so while singing.

D)  Talk to strangers.

E)  Wear obsolete clothing.

F)  Find a way to complement (earnestly) every person you talk to.

G)  Spend some time working, studying, or reading in a place you don't usually go.

H)  Explore a new neighborhood.

I)  Ask someone out.

J)  Flirt with a member of the service industry.

K)  If you don't drink, spend a weekend doing it.  Let go.  Release.  Give yourself the permission to be temporarily stupid and silly.

L)  If you do drink, spend a week having fun sober.  Notice the natural beauty in the moments.  Get high on life: the things you do and the people around you.  There are so many options in this world.  Try them out.

M)  Stay up all night.

N)  Call up someone you haven't seen in years and have a legitimate conversation doing absolutely everything in your power, however extreme, to avoid small talk.

O)  Have a conversation with a homeless person.

P)   Try giving a sermon to a street evangelist.

Q)  Buy a CD by someone you've never heard of.

R)  Develop a new walking style.

S)  Give yourself an unusual goal for the day and put it above everything else.  E.g:  Make 5 strangers laugh.  Visit 5 different parts of the city.  Win 30 dollars gambling.

T)  Cook something for dinner that you've never made before.

U)  Tell someone you love them.  Mean it.

V)  Destroy something you don't need.

W)  If you're not religious, go to church and abstain from making judgements.  Sing.  Meet people before and after the service.  Talk to the pastor about his sermon.

X)  Write a poem and post it somewhere people will see it.

Y)  Sneak in somewhere you're not supposed to be.

Z)  Make up an alter ego and go to a bar as that person.  Have some fun.  If you end up making friends, don't worry that they may think you're someone you're not.  Chances are they drank enough that the switch won't be a big deal.  And your alter ego would be a facet of you regardless.

Really just interract with the world.  Keep renewing your spirit.  Keep your heart fresh, your mind flexible, and your eyes open.
