My New "I'm Bored" Jar

Hey everybody!
It's Noelle, and I'm actually here to talk about a DIY-ish sort of thing that I did recently - an "I'm Bored" Jar.  Now, if you're on Pinterest, I pretty much 100% garantee that you've seen these.  If you haven't, they're basically jars filled with little prompts for activities.  They're usually aimed at kids, so that exhausted mothers can send children away with a tired, "Look in the jar", but since I've found I'm getting bored throughout the summer days, I decided to make one for myself :)

Now, like I said, these are normally aimed for children.  And the other boredom busters I found were for people who had free time, money, and most importantly, a car - things I do not possess, my friends.  So a lot of the activities I came up with were ones that I thought, "Huh, that'd be fun to do."  Here's my list:

1. Write a poem  (may I suggest this book to give you some inspiration ;)
2. Make a music playlist (doesn't matter if you only listen to it once, just make one for you, right then.  Make the title the date and when you're really bored, go back and listen to old playlists to experience the past)
3. Study for 15 minutes
4. Do 20 Sit-ups
5. Make some DIY Jewelry
6. Find a hidden spot in your neighborhood (behind a house; a park you've never been to; a back woods area)
7. Make a music video playlist, dance along

25. Research a vacation (a real one or a dream vaca!)
26. www.whatshouldireadnext.com
27. Tell a story
28. Write a blog post (*passive agressively looks at fellow bloggers*)

And yeah!  If you're interested in making an "I'm Bored" jar, here's 85 ideas for you to add to it.  The one I did was in an old candle jar, with popsicle sticks, but I've seen some other versions of it.  Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any ideas or make your own jar!

*Here's that recipe, as promised.  I'd suggest using two tablespoons of water, since only one makes it sort of dry and sad

Have a great day!
