How To Survive Thanksgiving Break (Or Really Any Break) Without Wi-Fi

      This Thanksgiving break, my aunt brought me here to Dallas, Texas. There's one problem, though–we don't have wi-fi at our house. We bought a house in Dallas recently, but since I still have high school in Louisiana to finish, we haven't moved in yet. It also means that my aunt is unwilling to pay for monthly wi-fi fees in a house that we don't even live in yet. So there it is–I'll be spending this break without wi-fi. (See if any of you guys can do that!) However, I am still going to be having a fun time, and here is how you guys can too. (You know, if you guys do get into a situation like this. But hey, who am I kidding, right?)
      Step 1: Bring your favorite pastime. (Surely you do have some besides social media, right?) If you are offline, then bring something else that you can waste time with, such as books, be it comics or novels. In my case, I decided to bring along my electric guitar and some comic books. Whenever you get bored of not getting text notifications on your phone every five seconds, spend a little time on whatever you bring. It can speed up those agonizing times without wi-fi.
      Step 2: Look for work. You may not believe it, but manual labor takes up much more time than you think. I needed to help build the new furniture that arrived at our house, and after we finished, I could not believe how much time had passed. You may be reluctant at first, but try it out! Let it be some minor chore, such as folding laundry, mowing the grass, cleaning, or some heavy-duty construction like me. (But still, I really don't want to recommend this to you guys. You don't want to work on Thanksgiving break, do you?)
      Step 3: Sleep. (Finally, something you guys actually like!) If all else fails, taking a nap is the way to go, and I'm pretty sure that you guys like to do this a lot. (Don't lie, be honest.) Time flies by when you're asleep, so you might as well.
      Step 4: Look for outside help. (Very situational, personally only recommend it if you guys have a backup plan like I do.) So when all these steps listed above don't work, what do you do? Well, in my case, I used to have a friend who lived in Baton Rouge. He moved to Dallas, however, so before the break started, I called his parents to see if I could stay at their house for some time. They gladly agreed (YEESSSS), so I will be having a fun time with my friend. Like I said earlier, this only works if you have a backup plan like I do, so try to make do with the steps listed above.
      Well, I hope that this blog post can help you survive a holiday without wi-fi. But probably the best thing to do is to prevent a situation like that from happening in the first place. But if it ever happens to you guys, then you know where to look for help!
