21 Things To Do When You're Bored

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
