In the tumultuous and stressful life of a college student, there are not many times when boredom strikes. However, if the opportunity becomes available and a class is canceled or you feel like having a Friday night in, here are some things that I love to do when I’m bored.
1. Watch "Gilmore Girls."
2. Call my family and check up on what’s going on at home.
3. Facetime my dog.
4. Text or call my best friend from home and see how she is doing.
5. Water my plants.
6. Buy new plants.
7. Name my new plants.
8. Clean up my dorm! (vacuum, dust, etc.)
9. Look at all of the Snapchat filters for that day.
10. Look up baby animals on the internet.
11. Go to Target because there’s always something to buy there.
12. Write an Odyssey article!
13. Check my emails and delete all of them.
14. Drink coffee.
15. Drink more coffee.
16. Eat Reese’s peanut butter cups.
17. Look at videos of my baby cousin and laugh with glee at his cuteness.
18. Scroll through Instagram and see how boring my life is compared to everyone who is studying abroad.
19. Take selfies.
20. Listen to Ed Sheeran on repeat and pretend that he’s singing to me.
21. Listen to Taylor Swift’s new singles and wish that I was her.
22. Do my makeup and try to perfect my winged eyeliner.
23. Look at childhood pictures and reminisce about the good (and some bad) old days.
24. Online shop for things that I definitely can’t afford.
25. Cry a single tear after thinking about all the years of school I have left (It’s about 6 and a half years, but who’s counting?)
26. Watch Disney movies on repeat.
27. Write a Christmas list and send it to my mother.
28. Think of witty Instagram captions that I’ll never use.
29. Try to go to the gym, but actually, go to the dining hall because it’s closer and so much better than physical exercise
30. Nap for three hours when I only intended on sleeping for 30 minutes.
