What do you do to keep from getting bored of the daily routine and have a better outlook on life?

Question

I'm a junior in high school and summer just ended two weeks ago. I'm just so tired of school already. I mean its like been the same routine everyday for three years. I go to school. I go home. I eat. I sometimes have play rehearsal or debate practice. I do my homework. I go to bed. I wake up and do it all over again.

There's not much that I can think of doing to stop myself from being bored. I joined drama so that I would get to be in the plays and have something to do. Same thing with debate team. I just can't think of anything to do to change my routine. It's not like I'm old enough to like have a midlife crisis and quit my job and start doing something different. It's not like I can go on a trip. Money is tight and my parents are not going to be planning trips anytime soon.

I guess I just feel trapped and I don't have much to look forward to in the near future. I mean sure I'll get to go to college and that will change things, but I still have to finish this year and next year of school before that happens. How can I have a better outlook on life and stop feeling depressed with the everyday routine?

I'm really into photography and I think it's a great way for you to get out there and experience the world from a different view! try it sometime...and if that's not your thing, maybe try painting or drawing...or another hobby where you can go to different places and express what you see in some creative way ;)
