Are You Bored Right Now? WELL SO AM I!
Ever get bored of doing stuff? Ever have the feeling of not knowing what to do even when there are probably a lot of things you could be doing and not feeling bored? Well, I always have that feeling. Sometimes I even catch myself zoning out into the empty void in my head I like to call, ‘The Void’. Pretty smart name right? Well I am here to help you with this problem, by giving you some examples of things you can do to not feel this way!
Well, first thing you can do is, get off your butt and do something productive! Finish off your assignments that you have been delaying for so long. Stop procrastinating. Only bad things come from procrastinating. I know from experience that this only brings anxiety and probably angry group mates. For example, I am right now procrastinating by writing this blog instead of actually finishing my presentation slides that I have to present in two days. Talk about hypocrisy, am I right? Engineers In Society is probably more important, but I have a blog to do, man. Stop judging me.
Next, do something fun. Do something that makes your mood happier. I, for instance, love watching television. My TV shows are very important to me. Right now, I’m probably watching like 10 TV shows at the same time. Oh by the way, you should watch a show called ‘The Boys’. It’s pretty good. Not your average superhero show. It has like layers that make it unique. The biggest one being that the superheroes aren’t good. In fact, they’re just like you and me; spoilt, jealous, only caring about themselves, yeah that sort of thing. I also recommend learning an instrument. This not only adds to your talents but also helps you look a bit more interesting in case you’re just a boring person with no talents. I always say, “ take a picture with a guitar even though you only know like 5 chords, people are going to think you can play it and think you’re a little more interesting”.
Besides that, learn a new skill. I know you all have computers and you probably just have computer games on it. Well, do something else other than waste your time on computer games. I know Minecraft seems fun but it’s just making you waste time. Learn another skill such as Photoshop or Premiere Pro or something. You can start Photoshopping yourself next to celebrities and posting it on your Instagram, I mean people will know it’s fake, but they’ll think you’re funny which is a plus point. I had to learn Premiere Pro so that I could make a music video for my song “Every Other Love Song”. You should check it out by the way. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMy6sok4YZE) Other than that, you can learn new skills like programming which would really help you if you’re taking an IT or engineering course. Actually, programming can help you no matter what course you’re doing, so you should learn it. If you didn’t know, they’re planning on teaching programming in schools now as a basic skill so, get to learning!
My other suggestion is play some games. ( I’m a hypocrite remember). Minecraft is actually a really fun game. I’ve been playing it since I was in secondary school. Back when it was popular. Even now, for some weird reason, Minecraft is gaining it’s popularity again. I’m guessing it’s because Pewdiepie is making a play on his channel. Oh, you don’t know who Pewdiepie is? Get out from under your rock you caveman.
Well that’s all the suggestions I have and in case you didn’t realise, I’m also a boring person.
