50 Things to do When Bored at Home

These days are stressful but also dreadfully boring so I gathered some inspiration for things to do when the only other option is to literally sit and stare at the wall. Hopefully this list will help you feel less bored. Let’s go!

That’s it *insert cool outtro* That’s my way of saying that, as usual, I don’t know how to end blog posts in a smooth fashion. I have nothing left to say except that I hope you’re all as okay as any of us can be at the moment. Stay safe out there.

Cheers!
