- Watch every episode of "Law and Order: SVU" in order, if only to pick up on instances of subtle sexual tension between Stabler and Benson.
- Memorize an infinite amount of inane trivia to finally best that smug Ken Jennings (and Watson) on "Jeopardy."
- Do your laundry, vacuum and go to the gym. Come on guys, the basics.
- Go through the Buzzfeed archives and read every list in history. Corgis in sweaters and Beyonce gifs never get old.
