I'm bored what can I do?

Welcome to fluther. You can volunteer at one of your local places that helps people in need. The government is slashing programs and the needs are growing in most all communities. And it looks good on a resume or applications.

I tried that already,but now I’m bored of it.

Self edit.

Perhaps try making something new for super.

@Special_CunningTigeress Welcome to Fluther. What would you like to do that you haven’t tried. Or are you hankering for some more risque adventure than you’re currently getting? Tell us about yourself. Some details might lead to a sensible suggestion for a engrossing new area to explore.

You are welcome to answer questions on Fluther. You can go as far back as 2007 if you like.

Really – go and do something useful. You have access to the internet. Call up the nearest organisation who’s working with people with disabilities or the aged, the homeless or the environment and tell them ‘I’m bored. What can I do?’

I’m very sure they can find you some work weeding a garden, picking up rubbish or reading a book to someone or just spending time with another human being who has much less than you. I guarantee you won’t be bored anymore.

With the 4th of July coming up, you could streak through a fireworks show, then try to escape. That should get the blood pumping.

Take a summer school class in remedial English?

You can clean my garage, weed my gardens, prune my trees, take my stuff to the transfer station, or find some old person in your neighbor and do the same thing for her.

Go out with a large bag in hand and collect all the paper that’s lying around. Take it home in the bag. Crumple up each piece of paper and throw each piece into the trash. Give points for each basket. This is less boring if you can do it with someone else. See if a neighborhood kid or 2 will go with you.

Have you ever heard the saying, “Anyone who is bored is a boring person”? There’s some truth in it.

Is there anything else you suggest I can do ?

Aww, we all know she’s going to keep asking until we say “Go to the mall”.

So…....Ms. Tigress….....Why don’t you go to the mall….??

Go to the library and check out a book that is a little bit of a challenge for you, and read it.

Draw a picture of what you see out of a window.

@zenvelo you’re right

“Anything at all” except helping others, volunteering, reading or using your imagination for two seconds.

@gailcalled guess you’re right.

@Special_CunningTigeress: Congratulations. Not only are you bored, but you are really boring.

How about getting a job :) Hehehe

@Special_CunningTigeress At least have an open mind.

@Emt3225 I’m 14 I will be 15 in December, In my country I’m not allowed to work under the of 18.

@ gailcalled I’m not boring, I’m only boring when I’m bored.

@dxs I do have an open mind.

What country are you in? What do your friends do?

@Special_CunningTigeress That doesn’t mean you can’t have an under-the-counter job. I’ve been working at a local place for years and it’s given me the majority of my tuition money. I’m only 17. How else am I going to get the dough?

Pay it forward. Do something nice or helpful for someone else. Get out your bake ware and make some cookies or quick bread for one or more of your lonely neighbors. Knock on doors and let some of your elderly neighbors know that you have come to help them with cleaning or yard work or running errands. Go to your local animal shelter and ask them how you can help, you might be socializing kittens or cleaning up dog poo, but either way, you’ll be helping out. Find an organization that helps put together kits to help hungry families or kits that will be sent to soldiers. Organize a canned food drive in your neighborhood and deliver the goods to your local food pantry. Find an organization that does trail or beach clean ups. See if they have an organization like Habitat for Humanity in your community and see if you can help.

If you don’t want to do any of those things then try these:

Organize yours or another family members photographs

Clean out your closet or your garage and get ready for a yard sale

Get out some paper and a pencil and teach yourself how to draw (portrait, bowl of fruit, landscape)

Wash your parent’s car

Wash the windows on your house

Research a meal that you are interested in eating, then gather the ingredients, make the meal and serve it (with all the proper table settings) to your family

Gather a few, or a lot, of friends and go walking or hiking in the park, at the beach or any other beautiful place

Read, read, read, read, read

Make a bucket list, then research all of the stuff that you need to know about the activities you’d like to try and the places you’d like to go. Create folders in your computer so that you can keep the information handy

Offer to clean your house, from top to bottom.

Try to be useful

Go to your local animal shelter and play with some dogs and cats

Go to a local river, lake, park and play in the water.

Find a recipe and go get all the ingredients and surprise your friends or family with a great dinner.

Rearrange your house/room.

Go buy some art supplies or clay and play!

Browse Craingslist and laugh at all the lunatics that can’t spell and are perverts, usually both. Illiterate perverts always are good for some amusement.. lol

@Special_CunningTigeress We’re all cursed with being boring when we are bored. But your profile says you’re interested in Science. If that’s the case, there are wonderful websites and videos online now making it possible to delve ever deeper into the mysteries of cosmology, quantum physics, life, abiogenesis, and the list goes on. Get deep enough into that, and your creative juices may get revved up to the point that you’re up on some stage like this.

@Special_CunningTigeress you may not be able to do paid work, but you can certainly volunteer and help other people. Go and see a friend, ask them to do something useful for your community with you. If you get out there and start doing something useful with your time, you won’t have room to be bored.

Really saying ‘I’m bored’ sounds very whiney and it’s what we expect little kids to say. I’m pretty sure that isn’t how you want to come across. So, if you’re interested in science, check out whether there is any voluntary work you can do that has a science focus. Is there a planetarium near you? Go and see if you can help out there. What about a local animal shelter? See if you can help there. They have vets and people who work with animals. If you’re a logical, intelligent young woman, you will surely be able to help out.

download quest 5.0 and play or make some text adventures

learn a scripting language like C# or Java

Draw

Do some pushups/situps and listen to music

make a website

EDIT: Make a really long and elaborate question on fluther with a lot of spelling mistakes and fix one error at a time to drive the moderator insane. :P

@Xilas, too late for that. Most of us already are insane. :-)

Hit the gym and get a nice body.

OH, for the love of God…..Just go to the mall and be done with it….

Yeah! Streak through the mall and try to escape! That should be exciting! pervpervperv

With any luck she’ll be arrested, spend 60 days in the local slammer, then get out just in time to begin the new school year…
