Before summer school started, I was feeling a little bored at home sometimes since it can seem like there\u2019s not much to do. In this post, I wanted to share some of the fun activities that I did to occupy my time!\r\n\r\n<strong>Tie-dye: <\/strong>\r\n\r\nI went on YouTube and a tie-dyeing video was suggested for me, so I gave it a watch and I had to try it for myself. I ordered white sweatshirts and some dye from Amazon and went for it! Honestly, it was <em>super <\/em>easy and fun! I didn\u2019t follow any particular pattern and I\u2019m obsessed with how it turned out (will definitely be making more in the future)!\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_41747\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41747\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0184.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41747 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0184-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"picture of me and my sister wearing matching tie dye sweatshirts\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0184-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0184-768x577.jpg 768w, http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0184-1024x770.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0184.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41747\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">matching tie dye sweatshirts!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<strong>Trying random recipes: <\/strong>\r\n\r\nMy and sister and I have been recently trying random recipes we find online after we got tired of making banana bread. It\u2019s completely unplanned\u2014we just search up \u2018things to bake\u2019 and choose from the list.\r\n\r\nIf I\u2019m not in the mood for baking, I\u2019ll search up new easy cooking recipes online to give them a try. It\u2019s super fun to try new things and I never know when I might discover I like a certain food!\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_41744\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41744\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0182.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41744 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0182-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"picture of a Japanese cake \" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0182-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0182-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0182-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0182.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41744\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">making Japanese fluffy sponge cake!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Workout challenges:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSince I rarely leave the house now, I noticed that I haven\u2019t been getting enough exercise. The problem is, it\u2019s hard for me to find the motivation to get moving, so I dragged my sister along with me. We either try out fun workout challenges we find on YouTube or go out for a walk. I find that working out with someone else makes exercising a lot more fun, and it holds me accountable!\r\n\r\n<strong>Family games: <\/strong>\r\n\r\nMy family likes to have movie nights, but when we\u2019re bored, we\u2019ll actually play some fun games or do some activities together (sometimes while we\u2019re watching the movie). Our favourites lately have been Jenga and puzzling!\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_41748\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41748\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0186.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41748 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0186-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"jenga blocks\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0186-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0186-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2020\/06\/IMG_0186.jpg 1537w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41748\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">intense game of jenga<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nWhether you\u2019re feeling bored at home or if you\u2019re just looking for some fun (and random) things to do, I hope this post gave you some inspiration on some things you can do at home!
