Bore-dom.
Yes...we all suffer from it every once and a while.
Your schedule is hectic and full of social events, school, and whatever else you crazy people do with your spare time, and then boom! It hits. Suddenly you have a day where there is NOTHING you can even imagine having fun doing. And it's such short notice--who's to say if anyone is available for a movie or a day of hanging out? So how do we beat this boredom?
There are several ways, and I think I can list a few.
Take a walk. *gasp* I know...stepping outside into the world of germs, leaves, and annoying little kids. But hey, you don't want to grow up to be a fat person, do you? Well, maybe you do. But anyhow, it's a nice way to just relax, do some low key exercise and think about everything you wanted to think about. You could even call someone and walk around if just aimlessly wandering isn't your thing.
Play a game. This can be on your computer, with your family, or solitaire. Computer games are a great option because there are so many! Just go to:
Addicting Games
MiniClips
iSketch
Shockwave
Or just google "free online games",
And you have so many options your head will be spinning. And if you play interactive games like isketch or inklink or runescape, then you can talk to other people who are also probably bored and have nothing else to do...or who are complete gaming addicts.
Call someone. Now, personally this is not a good option for me. I've got what one might call "phonaphobia" or something. But for tons of people, this is a great option. Just pick up your cell or home phone and call up a friend to catch up on what's been going on. And we all know how conversations can travel.
Do any extra homework or chores. *blech*. Not the best option, but if you have nothing else to do, and you know that the following week or so is going to be stressful, then this is a good option to ensure a relaxing and not-head-spinningly-stressful week ahead.
Read. Let your imagination flow through novels, biographies, BLOGS, or comics! A great way to waste a few hours doing something that will entertain you, and maybe expand your vocab. And, you get to see what OTHER people think the world is like, possibly. Or, learn what the world WAS like. That's always fun.
Hope these have helped your bored-days! If you have any other ways of passing the time, drop in and comment, we'd love to hear your ideas!
