How To Not Die Of Boredom
Tom Doetsch

It's always right around the corner, just about to ensnare you in it's vicious grasp. It may seem like there's no way out, that you're doomed to lie in the darkness till the giant machine forces you to do something. I'm here to tell you that there is something more out there. There's a whole world out there full of wondrous creatures of all shapes, sizes, colors. I guarantee you'll be amazed.

While the usual answer the boredom is Netflix, Netflix, Netflix, and more Netflix, there are many more options that give you more excitement. For example, you could pick up a mutilated dead tree and read till you're until you're enveloped in the story and can't put it down. This way, boredom is completely vanquished.

If you're a Pokemon, like myself, PokemonGO is a great way to stave of boredom. Just grab a couple of friends and go for a walk. You can work on hatching your eggs while being with the people you love, all this going on in the great outdoors. Or you can just go for a walk, your phone probably gets overused anyway. As much as I love Pokemon, I'm super excited to try and catch my boy Politoed son, it's nice to just go outside and experience the world. Just wander around, stare at the sky, the trees, the people.

The reason we've become so bored with our existence is because we've become to used to our surroundings. We have lost of childish sense of wonder that made everything so interesting. We need a change of perspective. We need something/someone to break through the barrier of our ignorance.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Mahatma Ghandi

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
