It's only been a few days into break and I already feel myself going crazy. Many students are home because their college extended their spring break and/or are preparing for online classes. It's our duty as responsible adults, to take into account the situation we are in and stay home for the sake of everyone around us even if that means foregoing our much awaited plans for spring break. Here is a list of 17 things you can do to lessen the boredom while at home.
Color
It's a great way to just relax and feel yourself go back in time to simpler days.
Organize your room
I've found that the process of organizing my room is really relaxing and helps me clear my head.
Help out around the house
Being away from college allowed me to escape from household chores but now that I'm back and being a pain in the ass to my family, I figure the least I could do is organize and clean other rooms in the house.
Take notes for classes
I know this isn't the priority during spring break but if you're ever feeling motivated, take notes for your classes so that you're not overwhelmed once classes start again.
Watch a movie or an episode (or two) of a TV show
Go through your list of movies and TV shows you've been wanting to watch and grab your favorite snack! Hands down one of the best ways to relax and just escape reality for a little bit.
Read a book
I kept telling myself that I didn't have time or that I had all these other things to do were higher priorities. Now that I have all this time what better opportunity then now? I'm trying to go through my list.
FaceTime a friend
Being that we are stuck at home when otherwise we would be out hanging with friends, video calling them is one of the best ways to stay in touch.
Find and do a DIY project
It can be the simplest project or even a bit of a complex one. It's just really nice to do something yourself and to see your handiwork around the house.
Look through old photos
Maybe start a scrapbook! It's nice to just have that time to look back and reminisce or to learn of new stories from your childhood or of your family.
Cook/Bake Something
Try out new recipes that you've never thought of doing before.
Workout
Now that I'm at home, I've actually run out of excuses to postpone working out. There are so many workouts out there that don't require a machine or equipment of any sort so an at-home workout is the way to go.
Learn something new
Like origami! I've always wanted to learn and actually make something decent looking but I never got around to it. Or maybe you can even brush up on a foreign language during this time.
Listen to music
This is a great time to find new music or just chill and listen to old favorites in the comfort of your room.
Play video/computer games
My first few days of break consisted of me playing throwback computer games that I almost forgot about. I also got around to trying new games that were suggested to me.
Text/call people you haven't talked to in awhile
It's easy to get caught up in life and sometimes simply forget about keeping up with people you don't see anymore. Take this chance to catch up with old friends!
Learn the dance to a song
What better way to make use of your time than learn a bunch of Tik Tok dances! Or even the dance to a song that you've always wanted to learn.
Make a "Betterment" checklist for yourself
Make a checklist of all things you want to do that you think will improve your mental and physical health.
