New Goal: The Cure for Boredom
Hoorah! As you can see from the title, I am starting up a new goal. And this one should be a lot of fun.
In fact, having fun is the basis of the goal itself. I call it “The Cure for Boredom.” It all began when my friend Moe and I were talking about things to do one weekend. I said that another friend of mine was throwing a party. And though I like my friend and like to hang out with her, “party” usually means a lot of drinking and a lot of people in a small space.
Both Moe and I are not big drinkers (in fact, I don’t drink at all), so going to parties like these are rarely all that fun for either of us. However, we also recognized that it seems as if that’s the only think people our age bother doing for fun. Moe then posed a question to me: “What is fun to do in the city at night that doesn’t require alcohol or a lot of money?”
I thought it was a great question since I really didn’t have a good answer right away. It was at that point that we decided to take it upon ourselves to come up with an answer to that very question. Our goal is to do at least one fun thing each week that does not involve drinking and costs little money (under $20).
Together, Moe and I began to compile a list of fun things that we can do. The following is some of the ideas we came up with.
~Go to a comedy club
~Bowling
~Laser Tag
~Open Mic/Karaoke
~Go to a lecture/speech
~Movie Night
~Take a Walk
~Rock Climbing
~Make Cookies
We also found a number of events that we could possibly attend as well.
The decision about what we will do will take place early in the week or at the end of the week before. I’ll post what it is we are planning to do and then I’ll write about how it went.
If you have any other ideas about what the two of us could do in the city, feel free to leave a comment and let us know! We’d love to hear your suggestions. Also, feel free to use our list as a spring board for your own adventures. We know there are a lot of people out there who like to have fun, but don’t always like to drink, so this is a great resource if you are one of those people. It is also great if you just like to have a good time!
Get ready for some exciting hijinks in the city!
