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.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
