Imagine that you’re sitting at home with nothing to do, no classes to wake up for, no work, Facebook is glitchy and you can’t stand the sight of a computer screen any longer.

Why not grab the keys and head to the car? It wouldn't hurt to jot down some of the following information and have a smart phone or GPS handy. These tips could keep you out of the rain but away from the house.
