If You Have Nothing To Do At Home And No One To Hang Out With, Then You Should Read A Story

You will look forward to the story instead of sitting down saying that you are bored and lonely at home.

Reading a book is one of my hobbies. I do this whenever I have nothing to do at home and no one to hang out with. It occupies my time and clears my mind. You will notice that a lot of time has passed. You will not think about bad thoughts and the future. The book is like a friend that talks to you. When you imagine the story, it is as if you are watching a movie. You will look forward to the story instead of sitting down saying that you are bored at home or are lonely.

Choose a story or genre that interests you. I prefer fiction because it is very interesting and entertaining. I doze off whenever I read nonfiction books. Reading nonfiction is like learning at school because you are just reading about facts and the nonfiction book is like a textbook. If you like to read nonfiction, then that is fine as long as you are happy. If you want, you can also read other things like fanfiction and news stories. One thing to note about reading news stories is that it can make you depressed because some of them cover tragic events that are happening in the world.

Do you have to do summer reading assignments? Summer is the time when people get bored and lonely at home. Understandably, assignments are boring because you have to do school work and read books that are assigned by the curriculum. However, you can still make use of the one part that says choose any book that you want to read.

When you read a book, it can be physical or electronic. If you do not want to pay for books, then you can do three things. You can borrow a book from the library, download free pdfs or epubs of the books, or buy a free book. Whatever you read, I hope that you enjoy it!

While the idea of free time without a stressful job or an abundance of schoolwork looming over your head may sound like a dream, it can be a nightmare at times. Having a couple of days to decompress is needed for a healthy mind and body. But when too many days go by, it can cause a downward spiral of thoughts and feelings.

As a recent jobless graduate, I was ecstatic to be free from responsibility and take a break from my normal life. That was until I realized just how responsible I had been and needed to be to continue being self-sustained. I learned a few things in this month of unemployment that encouraged me to find a job as soon as possible.

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The leaves change, pumpkin spice everything hits the shelves (thank you, world!), the 13 Nights of Halloween on Freeform (formerly abcfamily) and the temperature drops. Well, the temperature is supposed to drop. Being in south Alabama, however, means that the temperature may be relatively low early in the mornings, but you're still going to suffer in the afternoon. So if the weather outside isn't getting you in the Autumn mood, maybe these Spotify playlists will help you slip into that wonderful, Autumn state of mind.

First Snow

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I have never understood why grown-ups complain when the leaves are all off the trees, and the temperatures take a decided turn towards the zero on the thermometer. I hear complaints about the impending winter weather, and the driving in the snow and ice. We live in Pennsylvania, so I bite my tongue instead of stating the obvious: Maybe you should move to a warmer climate?
