Legal things to do when bored

[RR1997]

Christmas Break has begun, and I really have nothing to do. This is the first Christmas break in a while where I'm not travelling anywhere. I typically invite friends over/go to other people's houses, but they all seem busy this Holiday season. I can text them every now and then, but that isn't enough. I'm usually piled under schoolwork, but I'm obviously not now. There is nothing interesting going on in the world right now, and most of the people I'm following on social media aren't posting anything remotely interesting. Even this forum is starting to bore me right now.  I'm really bored out of my mind right now, and Christmas Break is for two weeks. I'm getting so desperate right now that I'm going to post a thread about this.

Do you guys know of interesting things that I (along with other people who are bored right now) could do right now (preferably online, and not flash-based since I'm on an iPad)?

Stop whining and make yourself useful. I'm sure something in your home needs to be cleaned, washed, raked, shoveled, or vacuumed.

Thank you for the advice, but we've already cleaned the house (we actually just finished yesterday), we've hired someone to rake the driveway, there is no snow in Illinois right now(😥), so there is nothing to shovel, all the dishes today have been washed, and my mom has already vacuumed the house.

Am I really coming off as a whiner right now? If I am, then I apologize. I typically am not a whiner, but I really can't think of anything to do right now.

Do you guys know of any interesting websites?

Flo: That's actually a very fun website, but the thrill of it only lasts for a little bit. Thanks for sharing that though.

DC Al Fine: That'd maybe something I'd want to do, but I'm on an iPad right now, and I can't find the charger for my laptop, so I don't have the software to do that right now.

IndyTexas: I've already taken the SAT, and I got a good score, but I'm doing it again. I'm taking classes every Sunday, but studying outside those classes is probably something I must do. Thanks!

Grumps:

After reading some of the suggestions, I've changed the title.

Learn a new language with DuoLingo (free, and a lot of fun) or Babbel (requires you to pay, but complements Duo very well).

I've just downloaded the app for DuoLingo. I've read all the reviews, and they are very positive. Are you sure this is 100% free? Is there a catch? Is Babbel better?

Do a map project about an obscure election and post it on the forum for accolades.

You've got me. I'm going to give it a try.

I've also posted this in the Illinois Executive Mega-Thread, where this probably belongs, but I'll also post it on here.

Muon2: I was going to use Dave's Redistricting App, but it's not responding and it keeps on crashing, and I gave up after trying for a long time. I'm on a MacBook Pro, so my laptop isn't out-of-date or anything.

I'm going to start out with something that is simple and not hard to do.

This is my DRAFT of the results of the Millionaire's Tax Referendum in suburban Cook County, IL by township:



Almost all of the townships voted for the tax (except for Barrington, Lemont, and New Trier). The shading/margins varied drastically though.

What do you guys think of this map?

I will now accept my accolades

Is RR1997 another forum ghey?  We now have like... One and a half gay Indians on Atlas (clarko is half and half I believe)

Even though I enthusiastically support gay marriage, I am not gay. I just posted those pick-up lines in the selfie thread for the lulz.

You live in Illinois, you could always get gay married to muon2.

That's a huge age gap.

get gay married to clarko?

Well I'm not single at the moment (technically I'm not taken either. It's complicated).

AWWWWW! Can I give Clarko away at the altar?

Again, I'm not single you creep , and I'm also not old enough to get married (I believe 18 is the age where you can get married).

Hahaha. Just kidding about the creep part.

I just got a new iPhone today.

My old iPhone was an iPhone 5, so maybe trying out the new features of the 6 will give me something to do for a while I guess.
