When you are coming home from school on Friday, the last day of the week, students usually think, “Now I have two days off, and now I can do what ever I want!” Some may hang out with friends the whole weekend, some may have to run errands, some may have a lot of busy work to do, and of course there’s going to be that someone that has absolutely nothing to do on the weekends while at home. I have compiled a list of things to do when you are completely bored out of your minds…
- Download some of the newly released songs on your iPod, this is somewhat relaxing and it gives you something to listen to.
- Do your homework, of course.
- Being on Facebook all day is pretty interesting.
- Eat (only when you are REALLY bored).
- Exercise, like go for a run or a ride on the bike. You would want to burn off all of that food you just ate.
- Re-decorate/Re-arrange your room. There’s nothing wrong with a little change.
- Talk on the phone, blah blah blah…
- Write notes or letters to your friends. You’ll find it’s more exciting than texting!
- Go to the mall, maybe to just hang out in the food court and eat, or go for some hard core shopping with your friends.
10. Watch T.V. But switch it up a bit, instead of watching MTV, try watching the History Channel, or the Discovery Channel. You learn something new everyday!
11. If you are one of those arts and crafts types of person, gather some old photos of some of you and your friends or family and make a scrapbook. It will be worth it when you look back on it 10 years from now.
12. Plan out your outfits for the next week at school. (Girls, this may take you a while).
13. Read a book, especially if it is a reading assignment for your English class.
14. Computer games are pretty fun when you are bored.
15. Who could forget the classic activity when you’re bored? Watch a movie! Not some recent movie that have just been released, but watch the old Disney classic animated movies.
There you have it. You might have some of your own ideas to save you from being unproductive on the weekends. You might even could volunteer somewhere over the weekend, like at North Augusta Community Ministries, or at the Recreation Department, or at Northside Lanes where they host “Alley Cats.” It wouldn’t hurt to help the community out some. Okay, so now you won’t be sitting on the couch at home saying ”I am SO Bored, I have nothing to do!” anymore now will you?

“Cause I’m free as a bird now, and this bird you cannot change…” Name the song and artist.
It’s not very difficult to name that tune, and everyone knows these lyrics. This song is one of the most widely known songs in the world and is known by the youngest children to the oldest adults. “Free Bird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd is a classic song and has lasted so many generations. The song was originally featured on the band’s debut album in 1973. The song was then re-released as a single in 1974 and the song hasn’t died ever since.
