Boredom can be a soul killer. You often find yourself in the middle of an unwanted funk and you might not know what to do with your life or yourself. Well, I am here to help. Here is a list of things that you can do to kill time and feel great when you're experiencing a dry-spell from fun.

1. Dance like nobody’s watching.

2. Sing your heart out.

3. Watch YouTube fail videos.

There is nothing better than watching people make a fool of themselves. If you like Vines, go for it! Pranks, music fails, failed auditions, whatever floats your boat. Watch it and put your heart at ease through laughter.

4. DIY projects.

Try a new project for the sake of it. Try origami, paint your room, paint your shoes, try arts and crafts, or make that damn journal you've wanted to make months ago!!

5. Write a letter to your best friend.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves why we love them.

6. Write a letter to the person that you dislike and then burn it.

7. Try to cook a new meal.

This is even better if you cannot cook, or if you're an absolute foodie. Hopefully, you don't get food poisoning, but cheers to the success of your dish!

8. Take Buzzfeed quizzes.

You might find out if you are the Ron Weasley or the Hermoine Granger of the group. You'll learn what character from The Office or F.R.I.E.N.D.S you are most like. Give it a try! It might make your day or leave you asking yourself, "WTF?"

9. Figure out if you are smarter than a 5th grader.

10. Rewatch your favorite TV episodes or your favorite movie.


11. Do a crossword puzzle or Sudoku.

12. Reorganize your life.

What better time is there to get your life together than when you're bored. Use that time that you'd potentially waste to carry out productive activities. Clean your room, paint it in a new color, get up to date with your work or projects that you've put on pause. GET 👏🏾 IT 👏🏾 TOGETHER 👏🏾 SIS 👏🏾


13. Create a mood board from your favorite posts on Instagram.


14. Try to recreate your favorite music video choreography.

15. Facetime/call/bother your best friend.

That's why we have them, right? They should be able to get you out of your funk. It is the best time to catch up with and update them on everything old and new.

16. Vision board.

Where do yourself in the next five years? What do want to achieve at the end of the year? Create your vision and speak it into existence.

17. Write.

Write about everything and nothing! Write a poem, a song or write about the random thought that popped into your head just now.


18. Get an adult coloring book and color away.

Coloring + Adults = F.U.N.


19. Catch up on some readings.

The gif says it all!

20. Dye your hair.

Because why the hell not? Get out of your comfort zone and go blonde, put some pink on it, and then get some comfort food and call it a day.


21. Sleep or find other forms of relaxation.

If all else fails... sleep!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
