It's the middle of the semester, odds are you're more busy than bored 6 out of the 7 days of the week. You look forward to that one day where you don't have anything to do. If you're like me, that day has more hype than anything. You think about sleeping in and maybe ordering stuffed crust pizza, but it ends up being you trying to think of things to do. Here are 25 things to do when you are bored.

1. Explore downtown Plattsburgh

2. Clean your room with music blasting


3. Discover more artists

4. Alphabetize your music, book, and/or DVD collection

5. Go workout


6. Bake something from Pinterest

7. Start your homework for the week

8. If the weather permits, go for a walk/bike ride

9. Have a Disney movie marathon

10. Catch up on some new shows

11. Check Facebook for some local events

12. Build a terrarium

13. Read a thriller

14. Write fan fiction


15. Organize your closet

16. Update your LinkedIn profile (because if you're like me, you forget you even have a LinkedIn profile)

17. Plan an elaborate scavenger hunt based on correctly answering riddles

18. Have a spa day


19. Watch old YouTube videos

20. Make a bucket list

21. Check out some new, noteworthy apps

22. Browse for tattoo ideas

23. Or design your own tattoo

24. Make a short comic book

25. Read up on current events

Think of this list whenever you are bored. I definitely did a few of these over the weekend!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
