Gap year ideas?
Currently on a gap year, and have just finished everything to do with UCAS applications. Obviously, it was nice to have some free time for once, but it's only been a week and I'm getting so so bored. After the holidays, I'm going to get back into my hobbies (piano, badminton team etc) and start some online courses to build up my skillset. I have a sinking feeling I'm still going to be bored out of my mind though and, while I want to have fun, wasting time is the last thing I want. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? What to be doing/planning this year? Any experiences of their own gap years? Tips and/or mistakes to avoid? Cheers!

Do a 30 day (or 10/15/20 day) art challenge.
Watch shows that you always wanted to watch (I have like 10 shows in my watch list and idk which one to start with lol).
Go out every day, even when you don't want to. It could be to a park or to a random street.
Learn to cook tasty dishes!
Lie down on the floor and, after the initial boring 10 mins, you will be lost in your thoughts so much that you will still be there half an hour later.
Help your mum (like seriously). Since I started helping my mum with her chores she has finally calmed down a bit after yapping the last 2 months about how I still don't help her even though I'm in my gap year.
Get a job. And buy things for yourself with the money and save some.

I worked full time at a commercial estate agents during my gap year. We sold fish and chip shops.
My daughter is currently on her gap year. She's working part time in Greggs, and part time just sort of... I dunno... sleeping a lot and playing online games by the look of it.
