how many times exactly do we say that during the course of one day (probably a few million times) and when we aren't saying it we're thinking it. All we want all year round is vacations and when those dodgy little days do come round all we do is sleep or catch up on that wretched Vampire Diaries or some other equally meaningless show and surf the internet until sleep claims us again. Deep down we all love being lazy and doing nothing but a part of our brain keeps complaining (BORING, BORING, BORING). After all there's only so much time one can spend admiring Ian Somerhalder or Patrick Dempsey.
This past year in particular I had quite a lot of free time on my hands. What with all the moving away plans and no entry tests for university I was the luckiest person on this planet (my friends' words, not mine)
and while everyone was laboring away under tons of books I came with some very veryy effective ways to use my time
Lucky for you these are some very practical easy to do things, you won't have to put in a lot of effort for most of them and at the same time you get to be a little bit more crafty and creative than usual but I do hope this will make someone's winter break just a li'l bit better and our parents somewhat happier too :P
soo number one on my list of course is.............
(DRUM ROLLS PLEASE)
DOODLINGI'm sure no one's surprised by this one, I am a doodle freak and I do this even without all the free time, but what everyone needs to know is that this isn't something you have to be intimidated by. Its a fun and creative way to while away you time. Requires no special tools or prep of any sort just grab a paper and a pen and draw.
One way to create some fantastic piece is to just write you name in big bubbly writing and then fill in the letters with some patterns, there's plenty and plenty of examples online, use one of those
this paired with some awesome music of your choice will make time fly away and u'll certainly enjoy urself too.

GREEK & ROMAN MYTHOLOGY
so this one might seem like a bit of an odd choice, but before u make that face let me tell you GREEK MYTHOLOGY is something that will never ever everrrr let you get bored. THAT IS GUARANTEED
There are plenty of books available online that are filled with stories of ancient gods and goddesses and their demigod children, we all have heard of Zeus and Hercules but hardly anyone ever knows the real them.
We never even realize how many times we refer to some phrase or proverb that originated from these myths but knowing the story behind all those things will make it so much more interesting. I mean we've all heard the phrase "don't open pandora's box". How many of you know what was pandora's box or if it even was a box at all, another common example is " someone made a herculean effort to do whatever" well that someone certainly wasn't called hercules then why did he make a herculean effort, shuldn't it be more like SOMEONE EFFORT, once again we don't know the story behind the phrase. So like I said surfing through these myths you'll find so much interesting things it'll be hard to stop.
Reading up on them will increase your general knowledge just as much as keep you entertained so do try this one out please
here's a link to a very interesting book on greek myths

WATCH SHERLOCK
OH I know I said crafty and creative but let's break the rule here
everyone absolutley HAS TO WATCH SHERLOCK
we all know about the famous Mr. Sherlock Holmes and his friend Watson
but this series puts Arthur Conan Doyle's heroes in a new light and it's not at all disappointing
so watch it, I don't care how you do it, rob someone else's laptop if you have to just watch it.
If you don't know what genius is after 30 minutes of the first episode then you probably never will but still I don't believe anyone could ever have a better time watching anything else. I mean this thing has an IMDB rating of 9.3.
and when you're done watching you can all praise me for telling you about it.
This is where you'll find all the episodes

so I think this is enough for now, this post is already long enough but I will return shortly with more interesting to do stuff.
In the meantime give the above three an honest try. That should keep you busy enough and by the end of it you might even learn some awfully useful things
cya all soon
