I'm going to be honest, when I'm bored, I immediately turn to Netflix. It's so easy just to throw on an episode of Gilmore Girls, but then you get sucked in and end up watching Netflix for hours. So here's a list of things you can do when you're bored. Watch a movie. I know this is very similar to binge-watching on Netflix. But, I find that if you have a lot of time, it's better to just commit to a movie. Especially if it's before bed, and you don't have anything else to do. Workout Okay, so I have to be really really bored in order to workout. I mean, I have to have literally nothing else to do. But, I really should, and it's not that hard to find a quick workout video on YouTube and do it in your dorm room. Or you can find a fitness class to go to. Clean your room. Some people hate cleaning their room. I'm the type of person who can't function if my room is messy. Even something as simple as making your bed, or putting away your books will make a big difference. This way, you're also doing something productive. Read a book. In university it can be hard to make time to read a book for fun. I usually get so caught up in reading my textbooks that I forget how much I love to just curl up with a book. Go get a book, sit down, and start reading it. You'll feel so much better. Take a shower or bath. I actually look forward to taking a shower. It's a nice break from studying, or time to relax before bed. If you like baths, go get a bath bomb and take time to enjoy it. Go get a coffee. Maybe you just need a change of scenery. Go get a Tim's, or take a walk to a coffee shop. (I don't even drink coffee and I do this). Draw, paint, etc. When I was little and would say "I'm borreeedd", my mom would always say "Why don't you draw? Or paint?" I'm not very artistic, but lately I've turned to bullet journalling. Even if you're not very artsy, it's good to have some kind of creative outlet. What do you do when you're bored? Let me know in the comments down below!

Am I the only one who loves reading but rarely gets around to it? Back in January, one of my goals for this year was to read more books for fun. When you're in university it can be hard to find the time to sit down and read a book just because you want to. So, I made it a priority, and I'm really glad I did. Here are some books that I loved recently.
I truly enjoyed every book on this list. The one thing they all have in common is they all focus on teenagers who are dealing with relatable issues. They address topics such as teen suicide, body image, and relationships in ways that feel natural. If you've read one of them and liked it, I guarantee you'll like the others. Let me know in the comments below what your favourite books are right now, or what you thought of any on this list! ~Ana |
