You're bored... but are you bored enough to do this stuff?

Unique Activities For The Bored
huffingtonpost.ca

Well, hey there, web surfer; you might be getting bored. But are you bored enough to read this article and consider taking part in these unusual activities? Let's see! I know that my friends and I could use some new ideas for hanging out. What should we do?

1. Meme Recreation


In this context, the word "recreation" doesn't just mean "fun." It also means "the act of recreating something." How does one recreate a meme? Save some of your favorite memes and go explore an area with your camera poised. For instance, you can find two dogs, one big and one "smol," and make your own version of the well-loved pupper meme. Compile an entire personal collection of reworked memes. You know, meme-making isn't just about sitting around and browsing the Internet. It's about interacting with real life, too.

2. Fingerpainting


Maybe your fingerprinting won't turn out like Iris Scott's, but who knows? Go outdoors, because fingerprinting is messy. Lay out your materials and have a creativity fest with friends. You'll be surprised: this method of painting affords great control over texture, color, and movement.

3. Book Cover Judgment

This game adds a fun challenge to your average artsy bookstore adventure. From personal experience, I can say that it makes book-browsing into more of a cute date. Walk the aisles with somebody else and challenge them to choose a book for you... entirely based upon the cover of the book. Upon making their choice, they'll pick up the lucky book and read its back cover description aloud to you. Then you get to judge whether it sounds like a good book (a book you would read). Your friend, vying for your approval by taking risks, gets 3 strikes. They also get 1 point whenever a book sounds good. When the game is over, you can sit and read the beginnings of the books that achieved points, or you can switch and do the challenge with the other person.

4. Surprise Sharing

The idea of randomly leaving things at friends' houses has been on my mind for some time. You can really leave anything you want. You can leave spontaneous presents on their doorstep. You can write spooky letters and put them in their mailbox. You can pack an opaque shampoo bottle full of glitter and confetti and visit your friend but sneak away at some point to put the tube in your friend's bathtub. You can be nice and thoughtful, or you can be mean and messy. This world is full of opportunity.

Hopefully these ideas inspired you! Either you'll say, "Wow, I really want to fingerpaint with my friends now," or you'll say, "Wow, I certainly was not bored enough for this article. Maybe one day, when I'm waaaay more bored, I'll come back and read it again." Either way, have fun!

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
