Solve that holiday boredom!!
Sometimes, when we are given so much time to relax and unwind during break, we actually get bored! During the semester, when we are working all day everyday on class work and requirements, we don’t have a second to spare. Going from zero free time to all free time can drive us a little, well, NUTS. If you are looking for some hints on how to eliminate that boredom, look no further.
Try:
- Organizing your Itunes! I know mine is a mess.
- Calling a friend or family member you haven’t heard from in a while.
- Being spontaneous and breaking away from the “everyday.”
- Planning a trip, party, or friendly get together.
- Going window shopping. Catch up on that fashion sense and learn the latest trends (in any category!).
- Cleaning up. Sometimes having a clean house/apartment/room can jumpstart further motivation.
- Cooking or baking. There is nothing better than spending a day in the kitchen with good food.
- Drawing or painting. During the regular semester, I have no time for these activities (which are a couple of my favs).
- Going through your closet. Take out the clothes that you don’t wear any longer and give them to a local charity or secondhand shop.
- Going sledding. With all of the fresh snow, there is no better time to hit the hills.
- Taking a ride on the snowmobile. Yesssssss. FINALLY!
- Getting together with some friends and having a pool tournament or poker night. Drinks and food a must.
- Going through old paperwork from last semester’s classes. Recycle what has no use to you and file away what is important.
- If all else fails, hit the Internet and play some random games. This is always a good time-killer.
Good luck. If you really are looking for a way to challenge yourself, try doing everything on this list in one day!
