10 Ways To Keep Yourself Busy

Have a paper due tomorrow that you really don't want to start? Significant other won't answer your texts? Perhaps you actually just have nothing better to do?

Well, fret no more! Here's 10 ways to keep yourself busy.


1. Write a list of things you love, hate, have traveled to, or want to travel to. List 'em.

This gets fun real quick. Just go off. Let it all out. (The hate list is my favorite)

Example: I hate chewy bacon.

2. Kid, clean your room.

We all know it's dirty.

Start with washing your dirty clothes, you animal.

3. Go visit your grandparents or other relatives.

They'll be happy to see you anyway!

Hopefully.

4. Cook yourself something.

Food is fantastic. Make it a time consuming preparation of a dish.

(I have no recommendations, I only know how to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches)

5. Harass your friends to do something with you.

Movie theater? Go out to eat? Shopping?

Start with saying: "Hey, please save me. " then follow up with "...from boredom" once they answer. Chances are they won't ignore that text.

6. Look at old pictures of your childhood or with your friends.

You know the ones in the attic or something.

I know this one takes a lot of effort.

7. Join Odyssey Online.

Seriously, contact your college!!

Shameless plug, sorry.

8. Start a Netflix show.

But don't be basic.

Ever heard of "Sons of Anarchy?"

9. Online Shop.

Even if you don't have money.

There's nothing wrong with being window shopper.

10. Nap.

This is a personal favorite.

Now you'll be busy and you'll be refreshed to continue doing nothing afterwards!


Well, I hope this article dug up some of your time that you probably should've dedicated to studying or something. You're welcome.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
