In this season of rain and cold weather, it's pretty easy to become bored if you are bound to the dorm. Constantly getting on Face book gets old fast and, while YouTube may hold your interest a little longer, you might become bored with this pretty soon also. So what's left for you to do? Easy! Be resourceful, grab your friends, and discover new ways to entertain yourselves.
If you're the owner of a gaming system, then you could play matches against friends. The Nintendo WII (retailed at $207 at www.google.com/products) is a great asset if you can afford to get one because it allows you to be interactive with the game itself. If video games are not your thing but you still want to keep it up-to-date then try the new at-home DVD versions of popular televisions games shows such as Deal or No Deal, Family Feud, or whatever game peaks your interest. For those of you who like the old school way of getting rid of the boredom blues, then you can test your knowledge with great board games such as Trivial Pursuit, Battle of the Sexes, or the new Monopoly card game. Last but certainly not least, have your own movie day with all of your favorites on www.watch-movies.net or by expanding your horizons with www.ghananation.com. Keep an open mind, try something new, and soon you just might find yourself doing these even when the sun comes out.
