Being a student at Eastern Illinois University makes you realize that there is a very limited selection of fun activities to do in Charleston, Illinois. Here's a list of things to do if you're actually dying of boredom.

1. Catch a movie at the Union.

If you're in the mood to watch a mediocre movie that's about a year old, head on down to the Union. I honestly couldn't tell you where in the Union these movies play, but I know they're there.

2. Go to the gym.

What's more fun than an exhilarating workout at the Rec?

3. Throw some strikes at the campus bowling alley.

If you love old bowling shoes and cheap pizza, this is the activity for you!

4. Go on a walk around campus.

If you are trying to kill 10 minutes, walk from Lawson to Old Main and back.

5. Go swimming at the Rec Center's pool.

Do people even swim there?

6. Check out an EIU sporting event.

You can cheer on your favorite team with all 10 other fans!

7. Take a cruise on the P-Bus.

Nothing screens "fun" more than a crowded ride on the Panther Shuttle.

8. Walk around Lake Charleston.

I guess Charleston nature is cool.

9. Lay in your bed and watch Netflix.

Sadly, this is probably as good as it's going to get in good ol' Charleston, IL.
