Every monday i have a day off college. Ive completed all my assignments so far and i want to do something good instead of
1 browse facebook/twitter and gta forums
2 buy and eat pie and chips from chippy
3 walk home to stare at duff tv all afternoon
All my mates are at college or at work. So i always have none. What would you do if your at home with nobody all day?

Find a hobby, something that involves skill, so you can devote a portion of that time developing it. Learn a craft, or a form of expression like music and drawing. It has to be something you find enjoyable or else there's not much point. After all, you'd feel like you were wasting your time and that'll just hinder your progress - nobody wants to be good at something they hate doing. Try going for walks and taking photos? It's exercise, and you could build up a portfolio.

Going for walks is great. I just went on a good 6 or 7 mile walk a couple days ago. It was a beautiful day and was just nice to be outside for a change, and very good exercise. I might get a bike soon so I can do a little cycling next time as well.

I'd definitely agree with this. I was in a similar position and a friend recommended the same thing and it's honestly done wonders for me. I'm no good at photography at all but I don't really care because to me, they're a way to help memories of certain things come together. You could always take your pie and chips with you, sit down somewhere nice and quite and just enjoy the moment. Savour the small things.

Get a f*cking job!

Uh, go out to eat somewhere different? Go to the cinema or rent a couple of films? Since the weathers going to be really nice tomorrow go out and play some sports (that don't involve other people) or go lounge around in the garden reading a book and breathing in the sun? I only get Thursday to myself, and to be quite honest I quite enjoy knowing I can get up at 9am and play video games/go out or just laze about the house.

I'm in the same position; with little hours at work, most days I'm trying to find tasks to fill the time. But I think I'm getting a camera for my birthday and I'm looking forward to just meandering around the city I live in, snapping whatever I can, try and capture something. I reckon you can derive a lot of satisfaction from doing that.

i wish i could. its hard at the moment you know

[Sanjeem]

I do one of many things. I would just get high, relax at home, take a f*ckin' nice long shower, lay on couch, chill at home and all that. Maybe then go out somewhere at night for a while.

I know you love when I quote you . Sorry, its just that I was going to recommend about the same.

Find a park or nice quiet grassy area and just chill. Maybe even take a nap with nature. Even just quietly watching the clouds float by can kill an hour.

Or you could just stay in your stank hole and browse the internet until evening rolls around.

thats the thing. its what i usually end up doing afterwards. nah. oh well, ill figure it out. somehow. Goodnight

[Gtaghost22]

Go out for some walks, play some football with your friends (if they are available) or just play some new video games to kill the time

[zoo3891]

Drive out somewhere natureful, and take a walk. Just do something different that will break the monotony.

[Mark]

Volunteer somewhere? Local communities are usually screaming out for volunteers.

[ilovebender.com]

gym, shop or do nothing.

[Kent Traffic Cop]

Join the Territorial Army? Join the Special Constabulary?

I was laid off about 1-1/2 years ago. So I got a job waiting tables. Anyone can do it, and if you find the right place, you can really make some good money.

Also, working out is a great cure for boredom. It fills your time, and makes you healthier/stronger. It's free too: Sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, and squats.

Volunteering, like someone else mentioned is an EXCELLENT idea. You'll make no money in the short term, but it will open doors for you that you never knew existed. Put yourself out there, and see what happens. Beats the sh*t out of sitting at your desk all day long.

Good luck.

Couldn't agree more. I was in a similar situation after I moved back to Wales from Manchester. I managed to get myself a part-time job behind the bar of a pretty nice restaurant. I waited on tables occasionally and, luckily for me, I'm pretty good with people so the tips would pile up. Each night I used to leave about £30-40 better off just for talking to people. I would have carried on forever if it wasn't for my hearing problems.

Start your own company. It's cheaper than a night on the piss, and it means you can tell people you are a director. Also, it's good, character-building stuff, churning your way through more than 300 pages of legislation. It'll prepare you well for the rest of your life, dealing with inane bureaucracy and being ominously concerned over whether your room classes as a business property and is therefore liable for business rates regardless of whether your company is actually in use or not.

You got a great head start there being Welsh, don't mean to be rude or stereotypical but I think Welsh accents are awesome and even when somebody isn't trying to be sociable and nice when they have a Welsh accent, they always sound so jolly and sociable.

Anyway OT, Like I said before but maybe a more productive day would include doing something you never done before. Eat some food that you've never tried, hit the swimming pool I don't know. I would just be lazy me at home doing what I always do, but it's fun to try a whole new thing. I recently just started working out, just out of nowhere and jogging as well. It makes you feel good once you go for a nice, long run and then come back breathless, when you can whip out the beer and other vices up your sleeve.
