Boredom can be a soul killer. You often find yourself in the middle of an unwanted funk and you might not know what to do with your life or yourself. Well, I am here to help. Here is a list of things that you can do to kill time and feel great when you're experiencing a dry-spell from fun.

1. Dance like nobody’s watching.

2. Sing your heart out.

3. Watch YouTube fail videos.

There is nothing better than watching people make a fool of themselves. If you like Vines, go for it! Pranks, music fails, failed auditions, whatever floats your boat. Watch it and put your heart at ease through laughter.

4. DIY projects.

Try a new project for the sake of it. Try origami, paint your room, paint your shoes, try arts and crafts, or make that damn journal you've wanted to make months ago!!

5. Write a letter to your best friend.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves why we love them.

6. Write a letter to the person that you dislike and then burn it.

7. Try to cook a new meal.

This is even better if you cannot cook, or if you're an absolute foodie. Hopefully, you don't get food poisoning, but cheers to the success of your dish!

8. Take Buzzfeed quizzes.

You might find out if you are the Ron Weasley or the Hermoine Granger of the group. You'll learn what character from The Office or F.R.I.E.N.D.S you are most like. Give it a try! It might make your day or leave you asking yourself, "WTF?"

9. Figure out if you are smarter than a 5th grader.

10. Rewatch your favorite TV episodes or your favorite movie.


11. Do a crossword puzzle or Sudoku.

12. Reorganize your life.

What better time is there to get your life together than when you're bored. Use that time that you'd potentially waste to carry out productive activities. Clean your room, paint it in a new color, get up to date with your work or projects that you've put on pause. GET 👏🏾 IT 👏🏾 TOGETHER 👏🏾 SIS 👏🏾


13. Create a mood board from your favorite posts on Instagram.


14. Try to recreate your favorite music video choreography.

15. Facetime/call/bother your best friend.

That's why we have them, right? They should be able to get you out of your funk. It is the best time to catch up with and update them on everything old and new.

16. Vision board.

Where do yourself in the next five years? What do want to achieve at the end of the year? Create your vision and speak it into existence.

17. Write.

Write about everything and nothing! Write a poem, a song or write about the random thought that popped into your head just now.


18. Get an adult coloring book and color away.

Coloring + Adults = F.U.N.


19. Catch up on some readings.

The gif says it all!

20. Dye your hair.

Because why the hell not? Get out of your comfort zone and go blonde, put some pink on it, and then get some comfort food and call it a day.


21. Sleep or find other forms of relaxation.

If all else fails... sleep!

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.
