Bored

Verveeld, langweile, aburro, ennuie, secaro, надоесть, bored.

Yes, I just translated bored in Dutch, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Russian. Although the Russian version says ‘bore’. I couldn’t find a translator that could help me with verbs (in case a translation isn’t right: don’t blame me, blame the online translators!!).

But this maybe explains how bored I am because truly nothing is happening today!! I don’t have any grades back yet so I can’t start celebrating (or cry, you never know).

So I went searching for a list of stuff you can do when you’re bored. This are the best/funniest 10 things I found:

1.
Give a Rorschach test to your gerbil
The Rorschach test is that weird test with ink spots.
NOTE: Hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, fish, etc. work too. Birds are more difficult.

2.
Rate passers by
Rate between 1 and 10 and give them expert criticism over their clothing, hairstyle and footwear. It’s even more fun when you do it with more people.
NOTE: You do this inside your mind, don’t say anything to people or you’ll probably end beaten up!

3.
Have a philosophical conversation with a tree.
Who knows what comes out of it.

4.
Design a better toilet seat
Most efficient when you’re actually sitting on the toilet.

5.
Try and sound from a different country
Maybe a Scottish accent? Or maybe Russian, or even French! Have fun.
NOTE: After practicing, you’ll need someone else to judge you.

6.
Read Homer in the original Greek.
With a special extra assignment: Learn Greek.

7.
Write your memoires, about the you of a previous life.
Hé, it’s never too early to start.

8.
Carve you and your girl/boyfriend's initials...in a marshmallow.
You know what they say, Love goes through the stomach.
NOTE: I have truly no clue if that is a saying in English but here in the Netherlands (and in Germany) it is.

9.
Learn to type...with your toes
I hope, for the sake of your keyboard, you did wash your feet.

10.
Comment on this (and hopefully more) blog.
I would truly appreciate it.

Have fun with it!!
