Leap Year 2016: 29 Things To Do On This 'Extra Day'

A Leap Day doesn't necessarily mean you get to take a day off, but somehow this feeling of having an "extra day" makes us want to run errands to check off those to-do lists.

Leap year is the reason we have seasons at the same time every year. According to the Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies, the planet usually takes 365.24 days to make a complete circle around the sun, so every four years, the world would be a full day out of sync with the calendar. This is why we have an extra day added to the end of February, the society notes, basically to keep our calendar balanced.

But just because calendars are balanced, it doesn't mean your life is. From getting our finances in order to cleaning out that messy sock drawer to even messaging a friend we've been avoiding for a while, we all wish we had 25 hours in a day to make time for things we really want to do.
