Ask HN: I'm having a boring summer. What should I do?
I'm a college student and because of health reasons last semester, I wasn't able to get an internship.
I'm taking two online classes (calc 3 and physics 1) and I find them in credibly boring.
What fun/ intectually stimulating things should I do?
Please help.
Try doing something you never did before, that would really challenge you and that would upgrade your life.
Never been a sport person? -> start practicing one very days Never been a music person? -> learn to play the guitar Never been a social person? -> find a bartender job
and that's just examples
Maybe meet some new people? I don’t know about your locale, but in larger cities there are usually lots of interesting groups on meetup.com. Could be painting, photography, learning a new programming language or just socialising.
Or maybe find a Toastmasters club in your area? https://www.toastmasters.org/
I'm in a fairly untechy large city.
For me the problem that I've had is that because I'm 19 I tend to be unable to go to the 21+ events.

Why do you think internet strangers know what activities you find fun?
Try taking classes outside your comfort zone, since you're already a student. College is the only time you get to selfishly, voraciously learn about niche fields of knowledge.
Build something, or write something, or paint something, or...
Be less boring.
