What to do when you have too much time on your hands...

Hi! My name is Calvin O'Keefe and I have way too much time on my hands, and if you do too, you're in the right place!

My family constantly ignores me, and a product of this is my ample free time, which I have spent banging my head on the wall, trying to ease my boredom. Over the course of a few months, I worked my brain overtime, trying to come up with something to pass the time, and after several hours of searching the internet, I was lucky enough to have a "Eureka!" moment while perusing Tumblr for the upteenth time. So here it is, the (probably) highly anticipated list of things to do when you're bored!

Start a blog! You can try starting a blog and filling it up with whatever knowledge you have acquired thus far. There seems to be some sort of passive pleasure derived from staring at a screen, counting the amount of people who have stumbled upon your words, or spilling your mind for the world to see. Whatever the case, blogging is definitely enjoyable, and I recommend Google Blogger for maximum enjoyment!*

Read a book! Though unoriginal at best, this method is time tested, and has brought enjoyment to many generations before us. Even in this age of technology, there is nothing compared to the exhilaration of being whisked into the world of a book. There are many genres to explore, like fantasy or science fiction, to name a few. Just don't read A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeline L'Engle. Just. Don't.

Procrastinate! Usually, when you have time on your hands, it means you haven't done your homework. The guilt that associates itself with not doing your homework when you have time is inescapable, unless you spend your time convincing your psyche that you have a perfectly good reason to not complete your homework. After all, you can't possibly start studying unless you find your studying pillow. Or organize your pencils from most orange to most yellow. Or wash the dishes. And buy a studying pillow while you're at it.

    1. Good job. I really like the word choice and how it relates to a lot of kids who have nothing to do other than homework after school.
