Bored?


Bored?
I think many people would I agree with me when I say Springfield Virginia isn’t the most exciting place to be. There’s nowhere to hang out. There’s nothing to do.  We are all over the excitement of self-serve frozen yogurt, so now what?  Maybe our town would be more exciting if there was a beach here, or if Springfield were a big city.  But HELLO! WAKE UP! There are a bajillion things to do here! And there are a bajillion things to do in general! We are teenagers, we are creative, we don’t need to live in a super big city to have fun. 
There are so many things to do and so little time to do them so there is no reason to bored! Here are 10 things to do if you are bored (most of which require little money).


1.       Explore. It’s getting super duper pretty and warm outside now that summer is almost here! Take a walk around your neighborhood or in the woods. Find a hidden spot and make it yours.
2.       Write a letter. Don’t lie, getting a letter in the mail is one of the most exciting things in life. Ever. So make someone’s day. Write your friend a letter. (Or maybe write a relative a letter, I’m sure it would mean the world to your grandma or grandpa if they got a letter from you! J)
3.       Home Alone? All of your friends are busy? Perfect time for a personal dance party! Blast those catchy mainstream pop songs that you know you love and literally dance like nobody is watching.
4.       Cook something! You don’t even need to buy food for this. Work with what you’ve got. Pretend you’re on Chopped and you have to use certain ingredients to create a meal.
5.       Clean your room. Okay so this doesn’t sound very exciting, but cleaning your room can actually be fun sometimes, like when you find that bracelet you lost 3 months ago. You can also take this time to rearrange or redecorate your room. Try moving your bed to the other side of the room; It will change your life.
6.       Color. Go to the dollar tree, buy a coloring book and pack of crayons, turn on some music, and you will have a delightful afternoon.
7.       Go people watching.  Go to a public place like the mall and just watch people walk by! Make up wild stories about them, give them weird names, maybe even talk to someone; Make a new friend. (Well, maybe I shouldn’t advise you to talk to strangers… just stick to watching them!)
8.       Read a book. Read a book that you want to read, not one that you are required to read for English. Enjoy it J
9.       Make a collage. Making a collage is so much fun! Cut up magazines, old pictures, pages of books, and glue them all together or do whatever you want! There are really no boundaries.

10.   Browse through this website for more ideas!
