And when you're bored, you don't want to do something that's boring. I know that sounds kind of obvious, but like, when I'm bored I'll go tell my mom or someone and I'll be like, I'm so bored, and then she'll be like, clean your room, or do your homework. Like, no, I don't want to do something boring. So that's why today I have come up with a list of 100 plus creative things to do when you're bored that you're actually going to want to do. So without further ado, let's just jump right into this video. Starting off with number one, we have make a Pinterest board.
