Question

What can i do this summer when I'm stuck at home and am bored? I've watched unhealthy amounts of TV for the past 3 days and I feel like I keep wasting days. I sometimes make collages or read, but I still feel like I could be using my precious non-school days for more. What are some really cool ideas to do at home? ;)

P.S. I want to be redoing my room, but I'm practically broke, so I can't yet...

Answer 1

do you HAVE TO be home?

if not, go volunteer at an animal shelter, they need LOTS of help, especially these days since so many people are losing their homes.

Answer 2

Write  a book.

Learn a new language.

Learn how to play the guitar.

Get up every morning at 6am, jog a mile, make breakfast for the family, clean the house.  You will be done by the time you normally get out of bed, you now have the rest of the day to sit around and watch TV or be bored, but you will always feel throughout the day that you did accomplish something.  You will find that you will revert back to "doing something" rather than just sitting and doing nothing.... when you have started off by doing something.

As for redoing your room.  Run down to the paint section of walmart or home depot.  Check out the paint that has already been mixed but nobody wanted.   You can get a few gallons of all sorts of wierd colors for half the price of a single gallon.  Now make up some stencils of your favorite things and start painting.  For less then $10 you can totally redo your room and have fun in the process.

Learn to play a musical instrument. I'm trying to learn to play the Irish flute, but I hear guitar is worlds easier.

Answer 4

Work around the neighborhood mowing lawns, washing windows etc. That uses time and gets you money.

You might think this would be nerdy and stupid but I knit and crochet. You can get yarn for not to much money at walmart and you can get patterns for free online

Answer 6

Exercise..... get out go jog at the park or something.... you will feel better more energetic and look fabulous!

Answer 7

or just paint your room

Answer 8

try working somewhere part time maybe 3 days a week, or take up a craft, drawing, painting, also you can change your room around before redoing it.

Answer 9

There's a lot that you can do!!! How about cleaning up around the house? I'm sure your family would appreciate it...or start a garden!!! Gardening is so much fun...or take up cooking...make some tasty treats for the whole family!!! Cookies are always fun...you could also do a recycling project. Recycle water bottles or paper or coke cans and take the recyclable items to the recycling center. You get money for it! ;)

Answer 10

okay, to re-do your room without money, search online and look up DIY projects. they can be cute and not cost money. also, set up a color scheme to base your room off of.

also, if you have a little money, go to michael's or a craft store and get cheap stuff like bulletin boards or paper lanterns or things.

your local library can have DIY magazines, or home renovation books, too. you can just do it for cheap!
