Are you a person who likes a routine? Why not try something new once and a while? Everybody needs a change once and a while, and I know and have tried some of these things to change your life, or just let you have fun. Try at least a couple on this list, even if you think you won't be interested in it, you might just change your mind.

1) Read more magazines or comic books. I challenge you to just sit down and read for half an hour maybe a few times a week. Sometimes life can be hectic, but the best time you can read is when you are lying in bed, right before going to sleep. To find the best type of book you should read, get the first favorite thing you have that pops into your head and ask a librarian or a bookworm friend for some recommendations. For instance, if you like castles, medieval or animal adventures, get somebody to show you the "Redwall" series.

2) Grab a pogo stick and start hopping. Cartoons make it look easy, but believe me, it is not. Take a while to master it, then without telling your friends your new skill, get some inexperienced buddies to try. After they have had some trouble, get on and show them your stuff. They'll be very surprised.

3) Learn to juggle 3 or more whatever's, whether it's balls, pins, or watermelons. Let me suggest to start off with something easier that watermelons. Just grab a book about it from the library and get started. Begin slowly, but gradually get faster and faster until people start to compare you to a circus clown.

4) Bake and bake until you can bake no more! Guys, don't worry, you don't need to wear a pink frilly apron to bake, just a cook book and some handy kitchen utensils. Let me suggest desserts, because everybody loves their cookies and cakes. Sugar and spice, make everything nice!

5)Write. Write. Write and Write. I personally love to write, but a lot of my friends and people I know don't. Let me try to convince you: Writing is the best thing, if you can only get yourself involved. Write about you, or things you're interested in. Do you like taking apart engines? Then, make a step-by-step guide of how to take apart and put one back together. Otherwise, write anything you want: poems, biographies or even autobiographies. Who knows? You may be on your way to being one of the world's most famous writers!

So, switch it up. If absolutely none of that even touches your interests, ask your friends what they like to do and see if you might be interested in it to. That way you can get a second opinion on whatever you might want to be involved in.
