    Learn an instrument? There must be songs you love to sing/play along to. Use that as inspiration to take up guitar for example.

    I've decided to waste my summer attempting to become a chess grandmaster. Been fairly amusing so far.

    I'm playing the cello again after months of it festering in the corner of my bedstudyroom, unplayed, unloved and forgotten.

    I'm good a chess but I still call the corner piece a "castle"

    Make a list and brainstorm weird and random things to do. number them all and whenever you get a bored moment/ day randomly pick a number and do it

    I've taken up running and clearing out my room

    If you are heading to uni learn to cook, do some research etc.

    Save some money and have a day out in London. Go to Camden market, eat some chinease food and visit Proud London It's amazing!


    Go to some festivals, got Reading and SHM coming up !
    Read a book, just finished some Ellen Hopkins and 50 Shades of Grey

    Haha I still call it a castle as well. I have no idea why they're meant to be called rooks. I thought a rook was a member of the crow family

    After my exams I:

    -Bought a couple of box sets of my favourite TV shows.
    -Made plans for days out with my friends.
    -Decorated my bedroom.
    -Got back into practice on my cornet and piano.
    -Read a few books (bliss not having to read academic stuff for a change).
    -Started learning how to drive, and revising for theory test.
    -Got a job to earn a little extra cash.

    Turned out my "summer holiday" was busier than term time! But that's how I like it.

    I'm in the same position, I already know 3 instruments very well, guitar, violin and piano, no others interest me.
    I have learnt countless songs in the last 3 weeks in addition. Bored of all the current games, played too many of them, diablo 3, battlefield 3 etc etc. I gym everyday mon-fri...boring, the surf is completely dead, so I can't do what I enjoy most most of the time, I am already fluent in 3 languages, I have friends but they are starting to bore me apart from my best few friends, but all they are doing is working -_-, I dislike working, so i'll stick to my 7.5 hours a week...any ideas? also watched every film out/loved previously, and finished all TV series.

    why the hell am I being negged, socialists jealous?

    In the absolute same position. I have a part-time job but the rest of the time I'm sat brainlessly watching Bargain Hunt. Would love to learn a language but don't even know where to start.

    Instrument is a good shout, I got a ukulele from argos for £20 last year and learned to play it over the summer.

    This year I decided on the insanity workout. Lasted a day. I wouldn't advise it.

    To be fair, I did this during term time in free periods
