Bored Out Of Your Mind?

Valerie Mayo


So am I. Don’t worry- this isn’t some research paper, it’s just a list of things you can do to keep from going insane during the crazy time upon us. So, here we go, I guess:


  1. First up, have a movie/tv show marathon- whatever your favorite genre is, take some time to catch-up on the latest or rewatch the ones you’ve seen a million times and still don’t get tired of!
  2. Read a book→ new or old, just read! It’ll pass the time and take you to a world outside your home!
  3. Do laundry→ it’s calming, seriously! Plus, you can play basketball with socks if you feel like gettin’ sporty!
  4. Learn a new skill→ sing, dance, knit, learn a language, paint, there’s so much out there! Try something new (whether you’ve been wanting to do for a while or just found it out of boredom) and see how far you can get before you get back to school to show it off to your friends!
  5. Workout→ you don’t need equipment or a giant space to get your blood pumping- just some motivation and you’re good to go!
  6. Jam-out to some music→ replay your favorite band or someone you haven’t even heard of before and get your energy out by rocking out to them on full blast! (Bonus points if you workout to them).
  7. Help out around your home→ everyone likes a little help now and then! Doing what you can-even if it’s the tiniest bit- will go a long way.
