Have you ever felt like, life is so boring, sparks less, so empty life I am spending between these University lectures or professional classes, home, boarding or at the hostel???. The latest science researchers even say boredom can be seen mostly in the age ranged 18 – 26 yrs. In the Sri Lankan context, of course, it is related to highest studies doers such as Undergraduates and Professional course followers simply who put the foundation for their carrier ladder.

So as an undergraduate it is quite important to explore how we can make our same routine somewhat interesting, adventurous and a memorable one. As the youth of the society, we represent so energetically, quickly reactors and the role of the pulse in our surroundings. By breaking the cliché youth is so moody and angst, we also feel so bored and no inner power sometimes.  Because we have supposed to do, not what we love but to do what others love. No one can be complained or not liable for that fact because we only can make our drive in a better way.

So here are some simple tips that we all can make our dull lives something extraordinary.

Change the travel medium or routine which you are using now

You will sound this like, oh gosh!!! We can’t do so because we have to be in premise on time, otherwise, punctuality will hit us by name of attendance.  But you just need to attempt it at only one time first. Try to get up a bit early than you do currently and just give a try once. Imagine that you take the bus and come to faculty, or you use your own vehicle to reach there. If a bus you can get down two or one bus halt before and walk. You can buy manioc chips or else any kind of Murukku, to keep the walking going. 

New people, funny things happen, and to experience the real things that take place to explore is really exciting. If you use your own vehicle try to come by public transportation once in a while to enjoy people, surroundings and to value them. You will see how you grow with experiences and memories. It is not promised to happen in the first attempt but when you are used to doing so you will see the clear progression.

Take a call or put a message for a friend that you have not talked for a long time

You must not have reached for your O/L colleagues or A/L ones for a long time. Someone who was there in your each and every up and down or who was the partner in crime in your schooling, indeed you guys may have a lot of things to share and recall your touching memories plus to share about some naughty things that you did. In another hand, if you have someone inapproachable place in your mind you can start up the mission to hit the target somehow and tell that you care and so on... 

This would probably lead a path for interesting and loving hangout too or something destined. It is psychologically proven fact that being with a fascinating party would re-energize us mentally and physically. Take this chance to use every type of social media accounts that you are currently running and you have free Wi-Fi. Never think twice to polish up old friendships now. You have the full tanked engine and just drive it for a better way to boost up you.

Different arrangements of seating, friendship gang and for the attires you wear

In lectures if you always sit at backstreet or near to the window or else near to the same colleague. You can go to the middle chair. Because going straightaway to front rows also can be questionable for others and a bit awkward to do so and middle to the front is pretty much easy in every way afterward. If you have tea every day with your best half of university life or else lunch or breakfast with him or her, call for someone different may be in different department or another faculty or else someone is an outsider from your gang by asking to drink milk or a juice at a different place which helps to bust up your same routine. Try to be with another gang too also sounds like a good remedy for this boredom and for the seeking of change and difference in lifestyle. 

To come up with different ideas and relationships are truly worthy. And if you always tend to do same hairstyle or same colors in your t-shirt or blouse or whatever, you can try something that you have never done before which sounds something so good on you and which enhances your personality, confidence, and image. It is a sure thing that everyone will appreciate you and will love for the change and will accept you in a fresh manner which will gear up yourself infinitely.

Enjoy every moment

You may have events, gathering or social and day outs, trips and lots of things in routine. Dance when it needs, spray out your all the worries and sorrows to the air with the rhythm of the beat. Don’t think who looks or who does not dance, it is your life and you only derive happiness, joy, and memories. Sing when you can, no matter your voice is not pleasant just gather up and sing, knock on desk or any suitable substitute. You never be questioned until you want to enjoy and you change your priority from yourself to others. Laugh when you can, don’t have to worry about the sound or the decency of it. 

We all are still learning and we can grow up day by day. Join with common activities and ceremonies where we can share values, love, and affection along with the diversified networking around you. Make your presence when it thoroughly needs and uses words wisely and try to build your stage and identity among others, you will never be bored. Do something humorous such as kidding at your close friend or give him a trap which does not sound so serious on him/her to pop up for a long lasting companionship.

We all are in routines and we have settled down in our comfort zones where we use same procedures, to outrun from the dull or boring lifestyle what we need to is make it more comfort only. Being yourself along with a focused mind for your very own goals would definitely help us to gear up our drive by listening to others by adjusting to situations where those are really applicable is the best tip ever that I can suggest.

Do what you love always and in case if you get something that you don’t love accept the challenge and find a reason to approach it and do it with your own style and passion. Cheers for a better drive because everyone deserves it.
