Boring Life?
So you've completed your studies, got yourself a bachelor's degree, worked for over a year or two and realize that life is not interesting anymore. What do you do?
You probably spend your weekend waking hours or just day dream about what you could have done to spice up your life but all you can think of was the good old days with your friends and family when you dont have real responsibilies in life.
You would probably wonder back in time to your uni days where you were on top of the world and nothing can stop you but now reality hits you and you feel like you are back to square one and have to start all over again.
IS IT LACK OF OPPORTUNITY?
1. Friends - if you dont see your friends at least once in a while, they might not be there when you go around. People dont wait around like they used to. Make time for people and they will make time for you. Good friends will never let you down.
2. Make an effort to meet people - if youre sitting around a beer carton or a 40 ounce hardy with the same 3 friends every Friday night just staring at your phones, its going to continue to suck. Consider adding new friends to your crowd and find out more about them.
When life looks boring all of a suden, it might be that you are experiencing bouts of depression or even anxiety.
3. Thinking you are better than other people - if you look at a group of friends and think to yourself that, "I dont need this to be happy" and you avoid people, places and things that you think you dont need. However, sometimes we think that if we continue to play the victim, someone will save us. But it does not work that way.
4. Someone else - if you are waiting for someone else to entertain you, it wont happen. You need to learn to do things yourself and enjoy your own company. Dont rely on others and expect
