When Eugene surprises us with a sunny day on our busiest day, it can feel pretty shitty hearing from all your friends that they had a picnic on the EMU lawn or that they got to hike up Spencer’s Butte in the afternoon.
Luckily, I have collected some ways (or should I say rays) for us busy gals to enjoy the sun, too!
Looking to be active in the sun?
- Turn your morning walk to class into a run to campus and through the Rec fields. This way you’ll be getting to class on time and squeezing in some much vitamin D and cardio sesh.
- Change your workout from the weight room to the Rec fields. Do some body weight exercises to build up your strength while enjoying the sunshine.
Looking to relax?
- Well, relaxation is barely in my vocabulary. But when the sun is out and I have a ton of work to do, I will bring a blanket with me to campus and find a quiet spot near the education and music buildings to get shit done.
- When you have that 5 minutes to eat your snack before rushing to your next class, take the snack outside. Walk around the building or take a seat outside to bask in the sun.
