20 Cheap, Fun Things To Do When You Get Bored

In This Article:

We all get bored from time to time and want to do anything that gives us a thrill. For those who do not want to spend much money and those who cannot, this list ranges from $0 to roughly $200 or however much you are willing to spend. End your boredom, have some fun!

Geocache

It's like a scavenger hunt except you take what's in the box and you leave something for someone else. I have been geocaching a couple times and have yet to strike gold but otherwise it is a fun activity!

Bonfire

Bonfires are perfect for cool weather and catching up with your friends. Not to mention roasting marshmallows for s'mores.

Try a new recipe

You could make something that you've never eaten before or put a twist on one of your favorite recipes! Or you could even try to make a dish from Top Chef that looked appealing. Whatever the case, you'll have fun and be full.

Go downtown

Do something downtown that you haven't done before. Act like a tourist and see what new things you can find. You can take cool pictures, watch people perform, try new food or activities, discover new attractions, and maybe even take a segway tour.

Go to the Farmer's Market

My parents would take me to the Farmer's Market "just to look" because that's what they did as kids. Usually we wouldn't find anything but sometimes we would. But if you don't go for the goods, you should definitely people watch, you never know what you might see.

Thrift Shopping

Giphy

Thrift shops bare many treasures, and many weird objects. All at a low price!

Garage Sales

Another cheap way to get cool things.

Fishing

Like tanning and having a picnic, it's just another activity by the water! You can hang out with your friends and relax.

Camping

Grab some friends and rock out on some camp grounds! Or the backyard.

Stargaze

Looking for constellations in the night sky is a great way to spend your time.

Rock Climbing

You can climb anything from a rock wall to a mountain.

Hiking

Whatever you want to walk, hike it. You can get some pretty cool views and explore the area, you never know what you'll see!

Skydiving

Skydiving is a thrill and it is relatively cheap. This will definitely keep your adrenaline up.

Clean your room or closet

Deep clean your bedroom to make space for more stuff and maybe find something you were looking for a long time ago.

Go Bowling

When was the last time you went bowling? Go bowling to see how good you are now.

Road Trip

Carpool karaoke on a Sunday drive sounds perfect.

Create a workout schedule

Make yourself a workout schedule and get to exercising!

Meditate

There are many forms of meditating. You can cleanse your mind by listening to music or podcasts or doing something you enjoy.

Make your online wish list.

Put everything you want in your cart, just for fun- or to see who will gift one of those items to you.

Plan Your Dream Vacation

Decide where you want to go the most and plan everything you want to see, plan out your vacation and how you will save for it.

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.
