9 Useless Fun Skills To Learn In Your Free Time At Home

    Have you ever had some free time that you wanted to do something useful in but ended up watching a silly movie while picking your nose? ewww haha I know you did! And at some point you might have asked some of your friends about it and they told you to go read a book or go study like you didn't think of that! But reading might be really boring for you. And there are those who suggested some really good activities, but it was just that you didn't want to register for classes and if you did, you didn't have the money for it. My experience with this feeling led me to find some useless fun skills to learn and here you go:


  1. Learn how to solve a Rubik's cube: Rubik's cube is a 3D puzzle first introduced in 1970 by an architect called Ernö Rubik. He made it for his students to understand 3D objects and to know how to move a part without the whole mechanism falling apart. At first I thought it's gonna be impossible for me to learn how to solve it BUTT , I mean BUT it turned out to be really easy, it took me just one day to master it, it's all about memorizing the moves and it's easy because it makes sense . wanna learn how to do it? here's the video I used to learn it .                                                                                     
  2. Learn how to juggle 3 balls: yeah as in clowns and circus. This need much patience and concentration, you also need 3 circular objects that weights the same, if you're interested watch this video:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
  3. Learn how to code: whoever you are, I know you own a computer, laptop or a smart phone, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. So, what if you stopped being just a useless user and became someone who understood how these stuff work? if you know how to code just skip this. :P Coding is really fun, I know this because I used to study architecture and now switched to Computer Science, and I was fully conscious when I made my choice , I'm not crazy wallah , coding makes you feel like you're accomplishing , there's always new things to learn in this industry , and learning is really fun because you can see what you do right away. If you're new to this I suggest you start with C Language , it's the most basic language to learn , and if you're interested in web development start with HTML then CSS. To learn just use Google .                                
  4. Learn a new language : sometimes you might be interested in learning a new language but you don't want to attend classes , there are a couple of ways I'm familiar with , firstly "Duolingo" which is an application on both Android and iOS , I used it when I started with German , it helps you learn languages playing a game and earning points , it's really fun and easy , as for me , recently I wanted to learn Turkish but it wasn't available on Duolingo , so a good friend of mine suggested a method called "Pimsleur" , it's a method that uses sound tracks that you have to listen to and repeat words and listen and so on to learn , it's available for downloading illegally as torrents , sorry copyrights , for mine I searched for "Pimsleur Turkish" and found the tracks . The first lesson of each language is available on Youtube in case you want to try it.                           
  5. Learn how to prepare food : since you're reading this then most probably you're bored and have free time so cooking might be worth it, food rocks you know, you can start by preparing omelets on breakfast, add whatever you feel like adding and discover your own way, you can prepare cupcakes or brownies , simple and tasty , don't forget to do the dishes if you're living with your parents ! I warn you!                                                                                
  6.  Learn the art of spreading : which is reading faster, the thing with our brains is that when we read we're not really reading, we just remember how the words looks like and that's why in a new language it's hard to read at first , for fast reading you need to learn how to see multiple words at once and this will double your reading pace. To do so you should visit the Spreading website.                                                                         
  7. Read about some useless interesting topics : this kind of topics is the kind of which people will usually be interested in discussing , for an example Illuminati , the debate never stops , do you know why? because there is NOTHING you can know for sure about it AT ALL, it's all theories and the most stupid people could contribute to the discussion and present their theories to be discussed . For an example you can read about Astral Projection, which is an out of the body experience in which your soul leaves the body and bla bla bla, never fails to get people's attention.                                                                                                                            
  8. Read about some interesting topics : there are some topics that are really interesting and useful , psychology and parapsychology for an example , telepathy and lucid dreaming , really interesting , there's the deep web also , it's the internet's black market , smth like that, here's a little interesting video about it :                                                                                                                                                                                    
  9. Learn how to play a musical instrument : might sound hard at first but as for me I started learning piano in my first semester in university because there was a piano there , took me sometime to learn but it's fun , first of all pick a piece that you want to learn , look for a tutorial on YouTube and that's it! of course you need the instrument too , use the ones at your school maybe .
That's it for this post , if you have other suggestions please comment bellow . And please tell me what you think of the post too and share it if you like it! ^_^
