Some days when I am not working, going to school or hanging out with friends I find myself really bored. I am sure I am not the only one who experiences this. However, I do not stay bored for long. I grew up as an only child because my siblings and I are many years a part, so I have almost become a professional at keeping myself entertained and busy. When I was younger I would just play with my toys, watch a movie or play outside with my neighbors… but now I am much too old to play with toys, I love watching movies but I don’t like to watch too often, and my neighbors don’t typically play outside anymore.
So how do I keep myself busy? Well, one thing I do besides watching TV (which I do very little of) is research. Along with market research, I research various topics; there are many really interesting topics you can learn about if you just look. I also read novels and self-help books, I write, I dance in my room, I make videos, I plan out my life, I exercise. Sometimes I go on walks. I find a lot of things to do, but sometimes people are stuck in this area. So, based on my own experience and on some research that I did, here are 21 things you can do if you are bored at home!!
