The two words above doesn't seem to complement each other, though in this article, the two would be best friends.
When does one person lack of things to do? And when it happens, does he really record it or time just passes without his will?
Apparently, a person doesn't really becomes unoccupied. He has a natural reflex to get something done so as not to consider himself bored. Eventually, he will find a way to do some random stuff just to escape the state of being idle. Living in a 21st century gives you an advantage to a whole lot of options to keep yourself busy during a free time.
Here are top 5 things you can do to escape BOREDOM.
1. Browse the Internet!
Look up for Social media updates on your facebook, twitter, instagram - so on and so forth, connect with old friends by leaving them a message, like posts on your feed and feel free to give nice comments to the ones that really got your attention. Voila! You did not just got your way out of staring at the ceiling for long hours, you've also reconnected old ties, strengthen the present and built new ones.
There's also some websites we call Youtube, Google and 9gag, you can go there and keep yourself entertained with videos, articles and awesome funny memes, if in some case you feel tired of seeing same old stories in your newsfeed. Yeah, i get that a lot too.
2. Listen to music.
Hearing your favorite tune doesn't just relax you - this you might wanna know - that it also has a variety of health benefits.

3. Watch Movies.
Catch up with what's missing on your life by watching new film releases, there are a lot of options that are made available for viewers, be it a horror or romance flick, but be sure to select the ones that really gets your interest so you wouldn't end up being trapped in a place you thought would help you escape boredom but actually made you feel even more annoyed, personally speaking, it happened to me once - trust me, it's awful.
It's always better to do a little research about a movie before hitting the cinema with your friends.
If in any chance, nothing interests you, just go and watch a movie at home by yourself using what powers internet bestows upon you - download a movie or go for a free movie streaming.
Here's a tip: to prevent yourself from overthinking, pick a movie that you've already watched which is worth watching again. Throwbacking not-so-old films, gives you that sweet nostalgic feeling from a childhood that you've always wanted to get back to.
4. Go for a walk.
Stretching some muscles by taking a few steps away from the comforts of your house doesn't hurt - trust me, it's so much better than sitting in front of your computer or laying on your bed staring at the ceiling.
Go to the nearest park or a friend's house and take in all the positive energy you could get from everything that surrounds you. Smile at people occasionally, without looking like an idiot of course, but do it in the most friendly way.
Society is not as bad when you think of all the beautiful things that comes with it, like how your friendly neighbor gives you nice compliments every once in a while; how cars courteously stop to help you pass the other side of the road and how that stranger gives you back your hanky when you drop it elsewhere.
5. Do that Assignment!
Who says your idle? You actually have that 10 pages long essay to do and you're head is just messing around with you by telling you that you've still got tomorrow to do that.
Of course you don't, tomorrow's the deadline and you're just giving yourself a ticket to procrastination since you don't want to do what needs to be done.
Now, get you butt out in the internet, pause that movie and get back to your house - we're going to leave the music on since it doesn't do any harm here - and start doing your home work this instant.
If you can be productive tomorrow, why not today?
And yes, you're getting this advice straight from a certified procrastinator herself. Kidding!
So now, we've reached the end of it, in conclusion, the 21st century may have given us the opportunity to do a lot of things, in contrast, it also gave us all the reasons to be more careless about our priorities. Let's not be one of those though, be responsible enough of managing what little time we got and improve ourselves for the better.
Now, next time someone asks you about what you did - don't tell them nothing, say 'everything'.
Those are my top 5, Sure you all have something else better, feel free to share whatever you have in mind :)
