<p>Sundays can sometimes be a little lonely, gloomy, and boring; they drag on and spur melancholic rumination. This is especially true when the weather is cold and dreary. And even more true when you’re in college; you’re far from home and there’s not a lot going on. Scrolling your phone to pass the time is always an option, but it gets old; you come to a point where you feel like you’ve reached the end of the internet. It doesn’t do anything for your mood, either.</p>
<p>Below you’ll find 17 alternative activities that’ll help you escape the Sunday doldrums and put you in a great frame of mind for the week to come.</p>
