Bring Me The Horizon's Football Season Is Over: 5 Ways to Fill Your Weekend Now

Well folks, it’s that time of year again—football season is officially over, and if you’re anything like me, you’re already feeling that weekend void. But hey, just like in that intense game from the best-of-seven series where Aguilar’s team rallied back from 18 points down (yeah, from 43-25!), we can turn things around too. I mean, if they could pull off a comeback with solid minutes from players like Nards Pinto and Jeremiah Gray, we can definitely find fun ways to fill our weekends, right? So, let’s dive into my personal top five ways to keep those Saturdays and Sundays exciting, even without the thrill of the game.

First up, why not try exploring local events or hobbies you’ve been putting off? I’ve found that diving into something new, like a cooking class or a hiking group, can give you that same adrenaline rush as watching a close match. Personally, I started joining a weekend book club last month, and it’s been a game-changer—no pun intended! Just like how Ginebra’s bench stepped up with key plays, you might discover hidden talents or meet new friends who share your interests. But a word of caution: don’t overcommit yourself. I made that mistake once and ended up exhausted; start small, maybe with one activity, and see how it fits your vibe.

Another method I swear by is getting into streaming or gaming marathons. Seriously, there’s nothing like binging a new series or diving into a video game to make time fly. I remember one weekend I spent hours on a role-playing game and totally forgot about missing the big game—it felt as satisfying as seeing Ben Adamos nail a crucial play off the bench. If you’re into stats, aim for something with a clear goal, like finishing a 10-hour series or leveling up in a game; it gives you that sense of accomplishment. Just be mindful of screen time—I learned the hard way that too much can leave you feeling sluggish, so mix in some breaks or outdoor time to keep things balanced.

For those who miss the social aspect of football season, organizing small get-togethers can be a lifesaver. I love hosting casual potlucks or game nights with friends; it’s low-key but fills that gap with laughter and connection. Think of it like how Jayson David and the others supported their team—everyone brings something to the table, literally! My tip? Keep it simple to avoid stress. I used to go all out with themes, but now I stick to basics like board games or movie nights, and it always ends up being a blast. Plus, it’s a great way to catch up without the pressure of a big event.

If you’re feeling adventurous, why not tackle a DIY project or volunteer? I’ve taken up small home improvements on weekends, and the sense of progress is addictive—kind of like watching a team claw back from a deficit. Last month, I built a bookshelf from scratch, and though it took a few tries, the pride I felt was totally worth it. Volunteering, say at a local shelter, can also give you that team spirit vibe; it’s rewarding and gets you out of the house. Just remember, pace yourself. I once volunteered for back-to-back events and burned out, so now I limit it to one or two weekends a month to keep it fun.

Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of relaxation and self-care. Sometimes, the best way to fill a weekend is by doing nothing at all—read a book, take a long bath, or just unwind. I’ve had Sundays where I lounged around guilt-free, and it recharged me better than any activity. It’s like how in that game, the team’s strong bench allowed for solid recovery; your mind and body need that downtime too. My advice? Listen to your mood. If you’re tired, embrace the laziness; if you’re energetic, go for something active. Ultimately, finding balance is key, and as Bring Me The Horizon’s football season is over, it’s the perfect time to experiment and see what makes your weekends shine again.
