5 Things To Try When Boredom Strikes
Destin Berry

Ever feel like you are so bored, yet you don't want to do anything at the same time? There are ways to combat your boredom without doing anything. Here are some of my favorite nonproductive ways to combat boredom.

The Fidget Cube


This thing is amazing. I love using it in class, my house, and in the car. I find myself often clicking pens out of boredom, and using this cube gives me lots of activities to combat my boredom. PS: they are available on Amazon for 2 day free shipping!

Color

Who doesn't love to color? You don't even need a coloring book. Just grab a colored pen and a sheet of paper and color!

Take a shower

Something so simple can bring so much happiness. The warm water on your skin can just make all of your boredom go away.

Go for a drive

Who doesn't love a good drive? Even if you don't go anywhere in particular, just get in your car and go. Just drive around town and listen to some tunes. You can even grab a friend to make it more fun!

Do some online window shopping

I love window shopping online. If you haven't gotten paid yet or if you like a good deal, you can look at all of the fun items without having to worry about being tempted to take it to the cashier. You can just save it in your cart and wait for a sale.

Boredom isn't fun, but with these ideas of combatting boredom you are sure to always have something to do!

With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
