We have all been in the situation where we have nothing to do. If you're anything like me and have a Latina mom she will be quick to tell you to clean when you inform her you are bored. Now if you are not as lucky to have that experience then here are 7 things you can do when you are bored:

1. Play video games

Let me tell you I am the first to admit that my skills when it comes to video games are zero to none. Although this is true for me it can still be a lot of fun. A good simple game of MARIO Kart can make hours feel like minutes.

2. Read a book

Giphy

Taking a quick trip to the library and pick a book of your interest. Expand in knowledge some reads that I recommend if you are interested in working on yourself and learning about the psychology of the mind is the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. It has been one of the most eye opening and interesting reads I have ever come across.

3. Listen to music

Listening to music can just bring you to your feet. I find that when listening to music it can be liberating. You can let out some feeling and just let loose!

4. Go for a drive

It can be extremely relaxing to just grab your car and go. Put the windows down if you can and let the wind hit your face. This one may not be everyone’s favorite idea but for me it’s a great way to get out of the house.

5. Hang out with friends

Giphy

Text a friend maybe they are bored too and would love to hang out with you. Grab a bite with them. Go to the park. There are endless possibilities.

6. Teach yourself a skill

Giphy

Honestly this is my favorite idea. With the amount of YouTube videos we have at the touch of finger it can be pretty easy to teach yourself something whether that be crocheting, braiding your hair, or even a skill like coding.

7. Volunteer

This has to be my favorite idea. There are always many organizations accepting volunteers to help out either at events or at their locations. Volunteering can take a while to get into but it’s totally worth giving your time for.

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.
