Organize your closet. Not as drastic as Clueless, or anything,
but your pirate costume from third grade could probably go.
|
|
|
Paint a mural. Ask your parents permission to paint your
room, or offer to paint one in school. You'd be surprised
how artistic you are (and how you are allowed to skip classes
or chores if you are doing something productive and community
minded.)
|
|
|
Plant a flower garden. Really. Or grow herbs. Rosemary, mint
and basil are both pretty and delicious! Cannabis is not an
herb, by the way. |
|
|
Cook
an amazing, gourmet meal. Surprise someone! Surprise yourself…Use
the herbs from your garden and fancy, expensive vinegar. |
|
|
Get
a medical or law school textbook, and become an expert on
something. Don't tell anyone. Then use the information when
it will impress the hell out of someone important. |
|
|
Read
fifty books that YOU feel will round out your education.
|
|
|
Find
a room in your house that you love. Or a baby. Or a tree.
Take artistic, sepia toned pictures of it / him/ her. If they
come out well, ask your parents if you can have them framed
nicely (sign them first), and then put them up somewhere in
the house. A very cool conversation piece.
|
|
|
Interview
an old person you know. Maybe you'll even get a cookie
out of it. (They'll get more than that.) |
|
|
Write
a letter or an e-mail to a magazine or newspaper on something
they featured which makes you furious. Really vent! It could
get published…
|

|
For
a week, listen to a type of music that you swear you hate.
Country, classical, whatever. Listen to it all the time. At
the end of the week, reassess your feelings. |
