12 Things To Do That Are Introvert-Approved
Cienna Stuhl

You want a list of things you can do when you're bored but don't want to spend time with others? Well look no farther.

1. Watch a Show

Netflix is popular for a reason people. If you're looking for a few good ones to pass the time, I also wrote an article which one's are some of my favorites!

2. Cook a Meal

In the age of fast-food and microwave dinners taking the time to cook a meal is really out-dated. You can find recipes anywhere on the internet and it's really fun to pick one and try it out!

3. Go for a Drive

You may just be surprised what you'll find in your local area! I have found tons of shortcuts and a bunch of cool stores just because I took a drive.

4. Go to the Grocery Store

Really. I bet if you went to the grocery store and wandered the aisles you'd find really new and interesting food to try! Plus no one looks at you funny if you go to the grocery store alone.

5. Read a Book

If you're interested in fiction, Ted Dekker is a phenomenal writer. If you're interested in some life tips, Shaunti Fieldhan wrote some books on men and women that were very helpful in my life.

6. Start a Tumblr or Pinterest

Tumblr and Pinterest aren't "girl things" anymore, I promise. They're also great websites to nerd out on or find a recipe on, find a bunch of funny memes on or even post some of your own pictures!

7. Work on a Jigsaw Puzzle

You can actually get really cool puzzles from good old Walmart and there is something incredibly satisfying about fitting that last piece into the puzzle.

8. Find New Music

Whether you're surfing spotify or youtube you can always find some new tunes.

9. Listen to a Message

Churches and ministries everywhere are posting their messages online. The Porch in Dallas has really helpful and enjoyable messages on their website that give biblical advice on everything from relationship goals to employment to just adulting in general.

10. Try Yoga

Yoga is one of my favorite pastimes! If you go to a class it's nice to be around people but not have to talk to them so you can still enjoy people as an introvert. It's way more fun than the gym and it's also nice that you don't have to plan a workout because you're just doing whatever the teacher told you to do.

11. Go to an Animal Shelter

My favorite local animal shelter is the Humane Society! I should warn you though, if you go to the animal shelter you probably will fall in love with a puppy or kitty.

12. Read an Article

You're obviously into reading articles online but if you're looking for more, here's a good writer!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
