Here are some things to do, for free, after you applied to one job:
- Many places, museums especially, have free days that can allow you a way of seeing exhibits. Check the first Thursday of the month. One that's free all the time is the Federal Reserve bank - may as well learn the history of money, since we're not getting that much.
- Volunteer. I love theater and it's the only way I've been able to see shows.
- Parks - It's cold outside, I know, but there are plenty of nature preserves and parks
- Libraries - There are books everywhere, computers for job searching (and for reading my blog), and ways to get out of debt while not having any income. Okay, I'm lying about the last one, but that can be your next book. The best part, they have special event days and free classes, like learning a language.
- Hardware stores: Home Depot, Lowe's, Menard's, Town and Country, any of these places will have weekly or biweekly classes on how to do something. I got to live in the house I currently rent because I offered to refinish it based on information I learned at a Home Depot. You may luck up and find a new hobby or a trade.
- Art Gallery openings. Often times on a Thursday or Friday, these openings allow you a chance to meet the artist and have some food (at least wine and crackers) for free. It may also inspire you take the rest of the newspaper you've been circling and create a paper-mache something.
- Book, video, CD, magazine launches. See Art Gallery openings. You'll be able to get something free from these though (like a book).
You will have to figure out gas or how to sneak in the train station on your own. Happy hunting!
