6. Contribute for a Cause – Giving back to the society is the least we can do to make the world a better place to live in.
7. Step up or Step Down Social Media Activity – If you have been out of touch with your pals and peers, social media would help you get back to the grove. But if your virtual life is affecting your personal life, it is time you remedied that.
8. Relive your childhood – Bring back the simplicity in life, dance in the rain, play bano, jump blada, just be carefree.
