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

25. Read up on current events

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

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
