What else can you add to it just get a puppy :)

Answer 3

why not take up a new hobby, something really out of the ordinary that you would never normally try. search the internet for free courses etc. hope it all goes to plan! x

Answer 4

"I want to be different."

So does everyone else. That makes you the same as them. Boring.

Answer 5

stop winging and appreciate what you have already. Some people are in a worse position than you, such as not having a boyfriend or job. So be grateful that you have these two things some people will sell their soul for.

Answer 6

Life is only what you make it. How can you live in this world and be bored????? There are so many books, so many films, so much to see on the internet. Learn about a new culture, find something that interests you and go with it. You don't need to be rich to lead a different and exciting life. Use your brain, go to the library if you can't afford to buy a whole load of new books, or just surf the www...Learn about other people, what they do... maybe you'll find someone who inspires you and that might lead to finding your way.

Answer 8

Ok, I`m old, I`ve been there, done that and got the scars to prove it.

A list of goals? No! Try for two or three easy short term goals.

You will achieve these easily and move on to some more and so on. Only go for one long term goal at a time. That`s how you will move forward.

Don`t look at what others do, look for things that YOU want to do. Do them YOUR way.

Look for a philosophy or religion that you can base your beliefs on. If you don`t have one of these you will be pushed around by every daft idea that is thrown at you and end up dissapointed.

Be our own person, take responsibility for your own actions. When you make decision, don`t change. Too many folk make decisions and don`t give them enough time to find if they were the right decisions.

By now you will be getting the message that you will never change your life by outer things like jobs,relationships,looks etc. These are transient. Base our life on inner strenghts and you will be successful and never BORING or BORED

Well it sounds like you're doing fine :)

Just keep trying new things out until you find things you really love doing.  There's no real secret :)

Also try reading "Yes Man" by Danny Wallace.  It's a true story about a guy who promises to say "yes" to everything for a whole year.  He is amazed at what opportunities it brings up, and how his exciting his life becomes.  I wouldn't recommend ALWAYS saying yes like he did, but it's a good lesson in learning to say "yes" to new opportunities :)  Very inspirational and funny too :)
