Question

What should I do if I have no one to play with and nothing to do?

Community Answer

Make indoor s’mores. You take your s’more and put it on a stick and roast it on the stove and then warm up the chocolate and enjoy. You can also practice some hairstyles or pick out outfits for school or work. Another thing that can help your body is working out or meditation a good app for meditation is headspace. Then you can listen to podcasts watch YouTube or read a book. Finally, sleep or eat, both good things to do to pass time.
