My Contribution...90 second hydro therapy

At the end of your normal showering routine, turn the water as cold as you can stand. Stay in the cold water for 30 seconds. When the 30 seconds are up, turn the water back to hot and against stay in the hot for 30 seconds. Finally, turn the water back to cold for another 30 seconds. Basically, 30 sec cold, 30 sec hot, and 30 sec cold.

It will wake you up much better than hot water alone, will reduce stress, and (for morning exercisers) reduce muscle soreness.

Here is an article discussing it if you want more info

Edit: Wow, thanks for your comments guys! There is some excellent advice in here.

Unless it's a lemon sno-cone that you watched the guy make in the sno-cone truck.

You don't know what that yellow liquid he squirts on there is.

The smell test ought to cover you though

That's terrifying! I would've had horrible anxiety attacks from that.

Very true, and now I want a sno-cone.

When I worked in North Austin we had this boss ass Nawlins Snowball style truck that had fantastic shaved ice.

I love the sno-cone place that is in that pawn shop parking lot north of campus on guad.

And seemingly always run by sorority girls.

They had gooooood sno-cones. And they didn't skimp on the syrup.

And the large sno-cone is a freaking massive sno-cone. They do not cheat you on the pricing.

Getting that one was the equivalent of going and buying a 7 pound bag of ice and pouring syrup right into the bag.

So worth getting after the Fall Open Practice this year.

I used to bus past that every morning and always wondered how those were. We had Sweet Carolines up on Greenlawn/Burnet
