Surviving study hall when you have nothing to study
Study halls can be a real savior when you find yourself desperately trying to study for your next exam after a night of hanging out with your friends. Or when you just realized that the term paper you’ve been avoiding is due next term. Of course, just like anything else, the study hall has a downside. What do you do when you have nothing to study? When you’re mad with boredom and the teacher keeps giving you the evil eye, and it looks like she’s about to kick you out if you pass one more grade or tell one more joke to your neighbor.
Fortunately, a trip to the office is not your ultimate destination. There are many things you can do to occupy yourself in study hall that don’t involve schoolwork. Yes, believe it or not, you can find entertainment at your school and it doesn’t even involve breaking the rules.
1. If you like to read, you can always take one of your favorite novels with you and escape during the period, from mundane boredom to a gripping story with exciting characters. You could even take a short trip to your school library and discover something new among its selection of books.
2. Or if playing games suits your fancy, just bring your laptop. There is an almost limitless variety of games that you can download online for absolutely free. Options include cooking games, speed games, home games, and many more popular games.
3. Also as an incentive to keep your grades up, your school may offer downtown passes to students with high averages. So if you want to escape the boredom of sitting in a study hall, there are plenty of options available to you with a pass. You could go out for lunch with a group of friends, do some light shopping, or even go for a walk to get some fresh air.
Prepare before going to study hall if you know ahead of time that you don’t have any school work to do. Bring your laptop, with an extra battery of course, a good book, or your center pass if you have one. This will make study hall much more enjoyable for you and your study hall supervisor as well!
