101 THINGS TO DO WHEN BORED

INTRODUCTION

This pandemic has us all going bonkers with the amount of free time we have on our hands. Of course, when schools figured out how to torture kids by introducing online schooling, none of us have much of the free time and freedom we have had before. We can’t go outside to spend some free time at the nearest coffee shop. So we end up getting bored. So I spent my free time compiling a list of 101 things to do when bored.

 Trust me, when I say I get bored very easily, I do get bored very easily. Like my friends could be talking to me and I could get bored right smack in the middle and start daydreaming. I try to do a lot of stuff to not get myself bored. But let’s be honest, 50% of the time I do get bored.

Then I realized what I needed to do to not get bored, so I collected a few things, and spent a few hours experimenting with what I like, what I don’t like, what I love, and what I find extremely boring to death, made a little list and reminder to never try a few things ever again. So here I am sharing 101 things you can do when you’re bored.

THE LIST

1.       Look at pinterest

Pinterest has a lot of amazing stuff to do, especially when you’re bored. It could be DIY stuff, or room transformation, or even cooking recipes. I love cooking and that is what I do when I am bored, I really quickly do a little run through pinterest, pick out the recipe for which I have all the ingredients, hey, if you like grocery shopping, pick out a recipe for which you don’t have a lot of ingredients, and run by the local grocery store. It’ll be fun.

As I was saying, I whip up recipes, and then the fun part is I also get to eat’em. Ain’t that great? I’ll link my recipe to the most epic chocolate cake recipe here-http://www.shreyatalks.in/the-best-and-most-epic-chocolate-cake-recipe/. If you love décor stuff and are very creative, go change the way your room looks right now by jazzing up the dresser table. Pinterest has got a ton of ideas for that.

2.       Make  short film

If you’re really into acting or just have a knack for cracking others then make a short film. One summer, my cousins and I shot a short film at our grandma’s house and it was really fun. I also got to bond with my family. Every time I look at that tape I end up laughing. I assure you it’s worth it. Even if you don’t have a perfect script or don’t have a lot of people to cast you can still do it.

3.       Binge watch

If you’re not the person who is into making films then, go watch some. Always download a few, because you never know when boredom will strike. There are plenty of great films out there, and a ton of genres like comedy, animation, drama, fantasy, horror, so you can never get bored. If you like watching series then you can go ahead and start one, but be careful, they can be addictive, cause they’re so great.

4.       Put on a fashion show

Dress up, wear makeup, or not. Go to the murky depths of the closet and throw on that black dress you haven’t worn since last thanksgiving cause that turkey won’t let you. You can either have a private show or put on a show for the family. Hit all those lights in your boredom for which you forgot where the switches are, and flaunt whatcha got. I promise you it’ll be even more fun than shopping online for that dress that will stay in your cart for the next three months.

5.       Take a nap

A little nap isn’t going to hurt you or others. It’s just a way of energizing yourself. Many studies show that during sleep there is a slight possibility of losing a little weight. We are talking grams here people. When you wake your skin glows and you’re in a whole new mood. And you don’t even have to spend anything. Of course you are going to be cranky for a little while, but then you can learn a little because of your fresh mind. Either way there are so many benefits of sleeping. Go sleep after you complete reading this blog post.

6.        Complete that pending work

Whether you are in school or in office, everyone has got a little bit or a whole lot of work left. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect because of all the time. If you finish your work right now, I promise you, your future self is going to be so proud of you. If you have got a project and need to prepare a report, then use this time to do some research. Hunt for websites to put together your presentation. And you’re going to rock tomorrow.

7.       Call a friend

You might wanna grab that phone to give your friend a call or a video, or simply invite them to play online, as if the internet isn’t saturated with online games. You can do all sorts of fun things together, like getting your nails don’t at home, painting each other’s portraits, or writing each other a letter, because let’s be honest, text messages don’t feel the same.

8.       Dance moves

Heard of Charli d’amelio. Yeah that famous teenager who got super popular on Tik Tok. Learn some of her dance moves. Of course you don’t have to be a great dancer to learn them, and no one is going to see you shake that. So throw on a few hip hop funky clothes(are those words out of style?) and dance your butt off to the latest tunes(is this out of style too?)
