5 things to do when you are Bored

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MNSU chapter.

Everyone gets bored sometimes; here are ways to help your boredom and make it a productive day! 

1. Exercise. Go to the gym, run around the neighborhood or go play a pickup game your friends. You are having fun and staying active… it’s a win-win. 

2. DIY Project. Look on Pinterest and find something cool to create or decorate, then put it in your room with or give it as a gift.

3. Read. Although reading is not everyone’s favorite thing to do, with a good book and a blanket, there’s nothing better than snuggling up for a good read.

4. Bake or cook something new. Find a recipe you’ve always wanted to try but never had the time to make. Make it look pretty and snap a picture to show off your work of art.

5. Clean. Whether you want to kill time or feel productive, the feeling after you finish cleaning is so rewarding. You accomplished a task you didn’t want to do! 

Being bored is not all that bad, actually being bored is sometimes good for you and your mind. It lets your mind and body relax and not worry about anything else.
