Culture to consume:
Watch this: Vine compilations
It almost doesn’t need to be said, but we’ll say it. VINE COMPILATIONS VINE COMPILATIONS VINE COMPILATIONS! Whether you are on cloud nine, six feet under or somewhere in between — these six-second cinematic experiences rarely disappoint.
Listen to this: “2000s Smash Hits”
Filtr’s Spotify’s playlist “2000s Smash Hits” has aged like a fine wine. This lineup will rejuvenate your soul, remind you of simpler times and maybe even leave you wanting to break out your Tamagotchi.
Do this: Get outside
It doesn’t matter whether you lay out a towel, get on a bike or whip out your ENO — please just get some much-needed Vitamin D. While the humidity may not be ideal, neither was a snowstorm in April. At least this time you might get a tan!
