I only had a quick read of a few of the posts. Few ideas im going to kill.
1- play video games. You can't play video games, unless you can work a power plant by yourself to supply the electricity to play the games.
2- Do drugs. Again unless you can make the drugs yourself, you're not doing anything.
Well, the OP didn't really specify the parameters of the end days, but here's some thoughts:
1. You now can effectively own anything you can carry and use anything you can operate. Also, with this in mind, a nomadic individual could likely find an installation with a solar rig or generator to set up shop in, or constantly steal gas and run generators all the time (for some finite duration). Also... batteries?
Some of those are band-aid solutions but it's not unfeasible.
2. Well, fair enough... Even with a chemistry degree, you'll run out of lab supplies to do your own synths quickly enough. Too much infrastructure missing. Stock up on seeds and spores from a head shop though and you could probably grow marijuana and mushrooms, with a bit of patience. Regionally, you could also just harvest payote cacti.
However, even ignoring all that: "you're not doing anything"??? Unless they were already subject to mass looting, there are pharmacies and liquor stores everywhere, and all the best stuff has a long shelf life.

On topic, I suppose I'd do some account of my own life and my experience on earth for a "note in a bottle" time capsule for future or alien archeologists. More daunting than that, in of itself, is trying to figure a way to indicate it's location to anyone approaching the ruins of mankind on a global scale. Good chance it would be overlooked, but that's just the rub, I guess.
