Are You Bored? Here are 3 Things You Should Do!

Hey y’all! Welcome back to “Life According to Ava!” (I know I am a day late! Sorry!!!) Our lives are crazy chaotic right now, and we are all finding ourselves at home. The time we do get to ourselves, we don’t exactly plan what we are gonna do. Do you ever find yourself with an hour or so on your hands and nothing to do and your just plain bored? That you are so bored ever you try and make your cat do funny things for your entertainment? Then try one of these three things to do!

First! A Scavenger Hunt. 😀

A scavenger hunt sounds impossible to setup but this one requires no work. Just your imagination. Grab a piece of paper and pencil, or a computer and printer, and let’s get straight to it!

Now that you have everything you need, come up with easy ideas that you can find such as, ‘Find something red,’ or ‘Find book with the publishing date of 2001.’ Write down things that someone can find in their house.

If you are having a hard time coming up with ideas here are a few:

1. Find something (insert color.)

2. Find (insert book name.)

3. Find a penny with the date of (insert date.)

4. Find a picture with (insert people’s names.)

5. Find a picture from (any big event you have pictures of, ex: wedding, first trip to Disneyland, etc.)

6. Spell out (word/name) only using the first letters on a food product. (example: to spell out CAR you would grab Cheerios, Quaker’s Apple Crisps, and Rice a Roni.)

Second! Read a book!📚

Go and find a book you want to read online or grab your favorite that you already own, curl up in a cozy spot and read. Escape from the outside world around you and dive straight into it. I admit, sometimes I find that I have been reading for 3 hours! It's really easy to lose track of time when you are into a good book. If you don't have any books that you haven't read or don't want a re-read, check out your local library online and see if they have something for you!

Here is a list of my top SIX book reads!

1. Land Of Stories Series By Chris Colfer

2. Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling

3. Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan

4. Hidden Figures by Margot lee Shetterly

5. The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

6. A Dog’s Purpose Series by W. Bruce Cameron

Third! Call your friends or family up!☎️

I know what you are thinking. Why? Well, you can find out what is going on in their lives, what they are doing, how they are holding up. Just call them! Tell them what you have been doing, share recipes or crafts with them too! It will make you feel better to check in make sure they are still healthy and doing well.

Well that's all for today! Remember: Bored people are BORING!

Bye, Ava 💛

P.S. Got a fun fact for you today!

"Never odd or even" spelled backward is still "Never odd or even!"

P.P.S. So is my name! Ava spelled backwards is Ava!😏
