This winter break, I decided to spend the month of January working at my on-campus job. I'm happy to be here because I love being at school and I only work in the summers at my job at home. However, sitting at an information desk at an empty student union is extremely boring. It’s especially boring when my coworker is being hella productive and not entertaining me. I’m sure I’m not the only student feeling this way over winter break. That being said, I’ve compiled a list of 50 things one can do to keep from dying of boredom.
