Be bothered...

Last night I stayed up late to bake some fair trade chocolate cookies for Easter gifts for all my loved ones, and it was really fun! I was thinking to myself that I could just have not done anything, seeing as I didn't have the funds to purchase easter eggs let alone fair trade eggs, but I didn't. I decided to home bake some goodies and had fun, and am very proud with the outcome and hope my friends and family will be too!

It made me think about all those things that we do or don't do because we "can't be bothered"? Why not be bothered? Would you be happy with your life if you looked back to only see moments missed by 'can't be bothered' to do anything or try anything new?

Be bothered, I do say. Why not? Go out into the world with a positive attitude and be bothered to do things, try things, be the person you want to be and experience the world at your doorstep. Don't miss a chance because you can't be bothered - it's a general waste of life not to take advantage of the opportunities out there!

Boredom...

I sit here at uni with another 2 out of a 5 hour block remaining before my next class with nothing to do, literally. All the computers are taken, (first time in history for this desolate campus), no study to continue with plus I've just bored my myself out with reading numerous texts to which are horribly unenjoyable thank to the ridiculous amounts of copious readings required in my current studies from the uni library. I'm hungry and the canteen is packed, I'd go somewhere but I'm broke and I'm sitting here... bored.

Now, the ironic part of all of this is that I get quite abusive and irritant towards people that update their facebook status with "bored, bored, bored" and I think to myself, "get off your bottom and do something then..."... and yet here I am, experiencing the core of boredom. Hypocrite, anyone? Or perhaps not, for the genuine fact that I sit with little to no options for stimulation and therefore boredom is a popular choice that I'm cornered into...
