[List] 7 Activities You Can Do When You're Bored

 


There are times when you find yourself bored and puzzled regarding how you can alleviate your boredom. Boredom can strike when you least expect it, and it can become unbearable at times to cope with.

However, I have listed below 7 engaging activities you could do when boredom seeps into your mood.

1. Read a Book


It's as simple as it seems, reading a book of your interest can serve as a classic form of escapism. When you read a book, you can become immersed in another world.

2. Painting


Painting could serve as a fun pastime. You can get creative and let your imagination run wild on the blank canvas.

3. Writing


Writing is another activity that gives you the ability to showcase your creativity or express how you're feeling. Writing a short story, poem, or journal entry are some of the many possibilities that writing presents to you.

4. Drawing


If you're more of a visual person, drawing may be an activity that would appeal more to you. 

5. Visit a Museum


Consider visiting a local museum that's open in your town or city--even if the visit has to be virtual due to the pandemic. Visiting a museum can be an educational and stimulating experience for you. There are typically multiple interesting exhibits and displays found in museums. Of course, if you do choose to visit a museum for an in-person visit, be sure to take the necessary COVID-19 safety precautions. 

6. Window Shopping or Browsing Online


Browsing items from different stores, which you have no intention of buying from might sound like a waste of time. However, when you're browsing items you can take mental notes by surveying the stores' product offerings, prices, and who knows you may even find new stores that you could find yourself frequenting for future purchases. While it's looking likely the COVID-19 pandemic has or will accelerate the retail apocalypse, there are still a good number of retailers and retail stores holding on strong. Naturally, if you do choose to engage in this activity in-person make sure to take the necessary COVID-19 safety measures.

7. Organizing


Do you remember that bookshelf or closet you said you would organize but never had the time to do so? Well, the next time you should find yourself bored at home it will present an excellent opportunity to do some organizing around the house.

Which of these activities do you think you'll try the next time you're bored?

[List] My Top 10 Favorite Saved by the Bell Episodes

  Saved by the Bell (1989) Peter Engel Productions//NBC Productions (NBC) I grew up watching reruns of Saved by the Bell, and I decided to list my top 10 favorite episodes from the show. Therefore, there will be no episodes from Good Morning, Miss Bliss. 10. "Drinking and Driving" This particular episode presented an important message in a manner that didn't come across as preachy and it really resonated. The message presented was loud and clear and so were the potential consequences of drinking and driving. 9. "All in the Mall" I enjoyed all of the hijinks that ensued during this episode. Imagine spending the night at the mall to buy some concert tickets.  8. "The Wicked Stepbrother (Part 2)" Eric was a good foil to Zack and gave him the runaround. Also, it was nice that Lisa was able to have her own serious love interest that lasted for more than one episode.  7. "Fourth of July" I enjoyed the overall premise of this episode. For example, t...

[Review] Soul Of The Deep

  Soul of the Deep is the sequel novel to Skin of the Sea in Natasha Bowen's Orisha Mermaid series. I really enjoyed the first novel, and I couldn't wait to read the sequel, and while I did overall enjoy this novel, it wasn't as good as the first one. I felt like most of the plot twists were fairly obvious and not really all too surprising. The cat-and-mouse and will they or won't they romance between Simi and Adekola was starting to wear thin. However, I'm glad that they did get together as it was possible for them to do so now that Kola was an orisha and not human.  I think that this novel served as a good juxtaposition to the first one and it was good to see familiar faces once again. In the end, I did like this novel it was a good read. I just preferred the action/adventure elements of the first novel more over the second's warring kingdoms scenario.  I do recommend this novel because it nicely ties up leftover plot threads from the first novel and presented...

[Opinion] The Batman will be a Polarizing Film

The Batman  film which is slated to grace movie theater screens in 2022 has a lot riding on it, and I suspect like some other previous DC films, it will be a film that polarizes audiences. Warner Bros. needs a win after the disappointing performances of Wonder Woman 1984 and The Suicide Squad.  They're essentially rebooting the Batman films yet again within such a short timeframe. Furthermore, the plan is to create a film trilogy set in a different universe from the DCEU (Earth-2 to be exact) and develop multiple different spin-offs as well. However, it'll be challenging if audiences don't embrace the new iterations or direction Warner Bros. is taking the Batman characters. Personally, my interest was piqued because of some of the casting choices they've made. Admittedly, the second trailer that was released got me excited for the film mainly due to seeing more of Zoe Kravitz's take on Selina Kyle/Catwoman. I'm still not completely sold on Robert Pattinson as...
