Everyone has those days where you feel like you have nothing to do, everyone is busy or maybe you have finished all your homework and tasks for the day. Whenever you feel this boredom it can be quite hard to think of things to do around your house or just by yourself to kill a couple of hours. There is that awkward period of time where you feel really bored, yet there isn’t enough time to be doing anything major such as going on a road trip.
