this works best with two people 1. go to a gas station, dollar store, or target - somewhere cheap with a variety of objects - with a friend or partner (note: i love Wawa for this activity) 2. set a budget or total number of objects 3. you and your friend/person will now walk around the store in opposite directions and select random sh*t for each other in secret. collect until you get to your budget or object number limit (i.e., you will be collecting stuff for your friend and your friend will be collecting stuff for you) 4. purchase items in separate lanes for MAXIMUM SECRECY 4.5. if you have no money, you can just meet at the front of the store for the grand reveal and laugh at what you chose for each other 5. meet in car, or wait to get home, and do a grand reveal!!! 6. use or eat the items purchased for longer lasting joy

When I was in my hometown for the holidays, my sister and I were very bored and very broke. So, we started just walking into random stores and just looking around. Just lallygagging. It was actually way more fulfilling and relaxing than actually buying anything. Because we couldn't get anything, there was way less pressure and we could just enjoy looking at things. We started noticing things that normally we would pass by, driven by the purpose of a purchase. One day, we spent like 20 minutes smelling every single candle in the candle aisle at HomeGoods. Another day, we looked at the weird silverware and cups at TJ Maxx. We also frequented Half Price Books and skimmed old Microsoft Excel books from 2009 and Child Development books. Don't limit yourself to Target. Store recs: - TJ Maxx - Ross - Half Price Books - HomeGoods - Bed, Bath & Beyond - Dollar Tree - DSW - Tuesday Morning - Antique stores - Semi-abandoned malls

Hit up your local convenience store, buy a strange treat you've never tried before, or a surprise bag if they make any. Write/ Draw a review about it! Maybe it won't fix your boredom, but it'll be at least a little fun :)

You don’t have to buy a ginormous haul or really anything*, you can simply roam a grocery store and vibe. This is among mic’s and my favorite activities. *or do just get like one thing and, to spice up the adventure, buy something new or obscure or rare

Rated - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ i literally could not care less about trucks - no offense - and i didn't even know what a hardbody was befor i watched this documentary (it's a pickup truck?). nonetheless, this movie made me feel like i understood something new about humanity - maybe something about human resilience or delirious determination. TLDR; it's a documentary about a competition in Texas where people try to win a pickup truck by being the last person with their hand on the truck. the competition lasted like 77 hours - wild. suffice to say, things get serious and people start crying. apparently quentin tarantino said this was his go-to movie recommendation at some point?

Rated - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "an entire movie built on that awful feeling you get when you're iron-deficient and stand up too fast" - clementine on Letterboxd great movie on the ridiculousness of american suburban culture - may cause a headache. i have yet to watch another movie that comes close to creating a vibe as rancid as this one. great movie to show friends that you secretly don't like too much. reminds me of what it felt like to move to massachusetts for undergrad.

just kidding...but also not really. i graduated about a year ago and went straight into a job, and although the dread and despair has mostly subsided, i have continued to struggle with stucturing my personal time + creating space to grow as an autonomous adult. maybe things would be easier if my friends were a little closer. just know you have a whole generation of folks trying to find their way at the same time you are! oh, and buy that thing you saw on an instagram ad...
