This is to anyone who ever gets bored often.
Go do something. As a person who is almost always busy, there are a million things out there that I wish I could do. I want to learn so much, but I know I will never have the time. Stop sitting around complaining about how much you wish there was something to do. You're future is in your own hands. Next time you find yourself vegging out in front of the TV and wishing there was something more interesting, think about what else you could be doing. Can you play an instrument? Do you want to know another language? How about knit? Maybe you could get into gardening?
Whatever it is, I am certain that there is something out there that you know nothing about that is calling your name, but you can't hear it over your own complaints about how there is nothing in this world.
Research something if you want to. I know that seems so ridiculous. Why would you go out of your way to do research a topic if you aren't even going to get graded on it? Well, maybe you do something in your life that isn't for the grade or the promotion. Maybe just for once, you do something because you think there might be something to it that you actually like. Can you try to memorize the pattern to solving a Rubik's Cube?
I don't want to hear, "Well I played an instrument in middle school, but I stopped because I got bored." You didn't get bored. It got hard. That's why you stopped. Don't pretend that whatever it is that once interested you is now just boring. There is no such thing as being perfect. There is always some way to entertain yourself. Try the next level of something. This applies to everything. Do something different, if that's your problem.
Maybe the different thing just isn't as different as you might think.
You wouldn't keep playing Tee-ball because that's how you started. No, you'd move on up to baseball eventually. Maybe you do play an instrument but you think it's boring because you haven't tried something new with it. Lots of instruments sound awesome with some very contemporary music. Push yourself for once in your life. I am sick of people telling me that they are tired of doing the same thing over and over again.
There are so many things out there in this world.
I personally wish I could have learned a sport when I was younger. Now I don't have the time to take up a sport because I am so busy with school and my other interests. There will always be a part of me that wishes I would have put in the effort to see it through that I got used to a regular type of exercise. But now here I am, a student who spends all of her time writing until the ends of the Earth. I love what I do, and I do have other hobbies. It's just that I can't fit everything into one lifetime. Next time you find yourself moping around the house all day, why don't you make something of it?
