Watch a movie with that friend who talks through the whole thing

Watching movies with people who like to talk through the whole movie or audibly react to every single thing on the screen is never fun. Especially when you’re seeing a movie for the first time in the movie theater. However, it’s actually not a bad idea once SDCC comes around. At least you’ll then be so annoyed at your chatty comrade that you won’t even be thinking about not being at SDCC. It’s a good diversion, don’t you think?
Sleep as much as possible

We recommend sleep because if you’re sleeping you’re not thinking of all of the things that you’re missing. Plus, who couldn’t use a few good nights of sleep? Mostly though, you should sleep because the people at SDCC can’t. While they’re camping out for 10+ hours just for a panel and running on only a few hours of sleep, you can snuggle up in a comfortable bed without disturbance.
Eat as much and as often as you want, maybe more

People on the Comic-Con floor and in the panels don’t eat. They just don’t. There’s not much time. They may bring a few granola bars and other snacks with them for the day, but that’s all they have. The food in the convention is overpriced and they’re all pretty tired when they leave the convention for the day so they don’t want to eat. But you, on the other hand, have access to food whenever you want it. So take advantage of that. Eat all of the pizza that you can because you can.
Celebrate the fact that you have personal space
One of the bad things about San Diego Comic-Con is that it’s so incredibly crowded. All hopes of personal space are just fantasies. No matter if you’re waiting for a panel, in a panel, or just walking the floor, you can’t move a foot without bumping into or touching another person. So, since you’re not at SDCC, celebrate the fact that you can move freely and breathe fresh air. Wave your arms wildly just because you can. Dance around a bit.
Drool over photos of your favorite celebs

If you can’t see them in person, you might as well just fall down the Google images or Tumblr hole and stare at photos of them. Just make sure to try to stay away from recent pictures if at all possible, because then you’d be rubbing some salt into the wound. Or, if you’re afraid of finding recent pictures of their flawless faces, go through magazines and old posters that you have in your room instead. That will work too. If you need us, most of us who won’t be in San Diego this weekend will be on the Avengers-associated Tumblr tags all weekend.
Eat lots and lots of ice cream
That’s the best way of dealing with all of the feels you’ll be feeling SDCC weekend when you’re at home and others… are not. Just remember, when all else fails, ice cream is just what the doctor ordered. Well, either that or…
