Bored and broke
« on: January 04, 2011, 06:47:55 PM »
I realize that college is coming up on the 13th, but what is there to fill the time while giving a sense of satisfaction and meaningfulness? My check has already been all spent on rent, food, and booze. And my savings is well under 100 dollars. I might be able to get a financial aid check before too long, but the main thing is, I'm just bored and feel like I'm just wasting away my time and my mind on nothing productive. I dunno what to do.

Is the school new? You could study the campus map.

Have you decided on a major yet? Did you study well while you were in High School? If you didn't study in High School that is a habit you need to acquire. Studying the guides to see what prerequisites are needed for your career field and planning the approximate time and order would be a good use of your time.

If possible, get out and walk for a bit each day, at least 30 minutes.  Go to a cheap movie. 

IIRC you had to leave last time because of grades after an auto accident.  Review your notes from that last semester as a refresher.  Do it somewhere other than your apartment (library, McDonald's, Starbucke, etc.)  Check out some books from the library on study skills, learning styles, etc.  Make a plan for your time if you know what your schedule will be.  Practice that schedule.  When school starts you'll be in the routine.  Start going to bed at a reasonable hour.

Do some prep work.  Make sure as much laundry is done as possible.  Clean the apartment from top to bottom and straighten it up.  A clean environment helps the mind focus.  Make some meals and freeze them.  If you can't do that, make some menu plans so that you have maybe 10 meals you don't have to think about, but can just pick the fixings up at the store rather than walk around for 30 minutes in a daze at the store (been there, done that).  Don't forget good food like fresh fruits and popcorn.

These things will fill your time while getting you ahead of the game.

You did ask, so I'm just going to butt right in and suggest that you
stop drinking now, so you are clear-headed and alert to begin school.  :viking:

You know I'm right. School is hard enough without a hangover!  :P

I dunno why they love drinking so much. Why, you'd think they invented Scotch!   :orly:

That is a wonderful idea.  Studying the math behind crystals.  Back in the 1930's crystal radios were all the rage for young boys.

And the English invented Sex, but we didn't like it, so we just let the rest of the world do it.

Okay.  I'm a melting pot of Irish, Scots, French, English, and German.  Except for sake and kava I'm my own liquor store.
