What to do on July 4 when all your friends are out of town?

So this is the time of the year again when all of your friends decide to go to the beach with their loved ones or visit their family, and you are stuck alone in the city. And now I realized that I have an extra day off my internship on Tuesday. I honestly do not know what to do with myself.

What are the best ways to spend Fourth of July in the city when most of your friends are out of town?

Any cool ideas are appreciated!

 

Do what I'm doing now - sitting in the office, dealing with a high amount of deal flow, waiting for analysts to send me the materials I've asked for, distracting myself by checking in on WSO.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
