What are you going to do when you’re laying down in your bed wondering, what will I do next? Will you pretend to be on an illegal substance and text that person you like, or are you going to get up and do something less ridiculous? Whatever it may be, do it with beautiful pride.
1. Take a nap like there Is no tomorrow.
Everybody loves a good nap, it provides great energy and fixes your boredom in an instance if you’re tired; but if you aren’t tired, sucks to suck. And once you’re asleep (the setting being the near future), and a sudden nuclear war occurs due to Trump’s presidency, at least you’ll die peacefully in your sleep.
2. Exercise until your legs fall off.
Literally move your legs until they won’t move anymore. Run on the elliptical, squat some heavy weight, find a nice treadmill with a handy dandy screen to connect to Netflix so it doesn’t feel like you’re working out, or focus on your arms. Skip leg day. Nobody cares about the size of your calf muscles, Susan.
3. Netflix and don’t chill.
Be a celibate Sally and focus solely on the movie and not the significantly attractive person that with you. Nobody likes to miss the part of Bruce Willis being a ghost the whole time.
4. Facetime a stranger.
Type in a couple of random numbers, or steal a number you have off your friend's phone (assuming you do in fact have friends), and select Facetime. Seeing a confused grandmother, or your awkwardly young uncle being on your friend’s phone saved as BAE <3 is always a swell time.
5. Get coffee with a friend.
Head to your local coffee shop and order your specialty: an iced caramel macchiato. As you sip on the straw, make sure you and your BFF gawk at the most attractive people in the room. Post-coffee date, text your real BFF and gossip about how Linda can’t tell the difference between a rotten avocado and Johnny Depp.
6. Read a book.
This can be a tricky situation for all you non-readers out there. Reading propels our brains into a better understanding, this doesn’t mean checking the latest twitter fight between Jack and Chris, but instead a good nourishing book that goes beyond the means of a post-apocalyptic triangular romance.
7. Enjoy the weather.
Whether you’re in the middle of a blizzard, or in the burning heat of a humid day, enjoy the weather. It is also the perfect time to question why you would put yourself in a state that switches from hot to cold rain in a day’s time. Looking at you, Ohio.
8. Eat your brains out.
Go to Cheesecake Factory and spoil yourself to three single slices of grade A American cheesecake with no questions asked. The only bad part is the $21 check for only three pieces of cheesecake.
A person can honestly do anything to find a way out of boredom. To undo your boredom, just find something somewhat interesting and find creatively make it more interesting. The world is at the palm of your hands, do not waste it.
