10 Ways To Keep Yourself Busy

Have a paper due tomorrow that you really don't want to start? Significant other won't answer your texts? Perhaps you actually just have nothing better to do?

Well, fret no more! Here's 10 ways to keep yourself busy.


1. Write a list of things you love, hate, have traveled to, or want to travel to. List 'em.

This gets fun real quick. Just go off. Let it all out. (The hate list is my favorite)

Example: I hate chewy bacon.

2. Kid, clean your room.

We all know it's dirty.

Start with washing your dirty clothes, you animal.

3. Go visit your grandparents or other relatives.

They'll be happy to see you anyway!

Hopefully.

4. Cook yourself something.

Food is fantastic. Make it a time consuming preparation of a dish.

(I have no recommendations, I only know how to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches)

5. Harass your friends to do something with you.

Movie theater? Go out to eat? Shopping?

Start with saying: "Hey, please save me. " then follow up with "...from boredom" once they answer. Chances are they won't ignore that text.

6. Look at old pictures of your childhood or with your friends.

You know the ones in the attic or something.

I know this one takes a lot of effort.

7. Join Odyssey Online.

Seriously, contact your college!!

Shameless plug, sorry.

8. Start a Netflix show.

But don't be basic.

Ever heard of "Sons of Anarchy?"

9. Online Shop.

Even if you don't have money.

There's nothing wrong with being window shopper.

10. Nap.

This is a personal favorite.

Now you'll be busy and you'll be refreshed to continue doing nothing afterwards!


Well, I hope this article dug up some of your time that you probably should've dedicated to studying or something. You're welcome.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
