A Social Experimenter

Before the experiment:

When I'm bored I tend to think because I have nothing else to do. Sometimes I dance without moving, meaning I dance in my head just to make sure I remember the choreographies. But most of the times I think about things that bother me. When I think about these things I catch myself overthinking simply because whatever I do I can't stop it. I forced myself to always have something to do so I don't get bored and think. But with this challenge Mrs. Xenia gave us, I'll try my best to see what happens. 


During the challenge:

I found it really hard to keep m mind destructed from thinking and at the same time not using any technology device. But I assure you I did it for 11:30 hours without the company of my parents or my brother. From 8 o'clock in the morning until 19:30 o'clock in the afternoon. 

What did I do? 

  • I started by sunbathing but without listening to music or having anyone to talk to was really hard and boring. So I quit after half an hour.  
  • Then I got inside and decided to draw on my T-shirts like I have been doing since the lock-down.
  • Later on I went in the living room and decided to touch the piano which because I finished my exams last year, I didn't have the chance to sit and play for hours, like I did that day. 
  • Soon it was lunch time and that meal felt like the quickest one ever.
  • I went straight into my room and grabbed my guitar. I found some pieces and started practicing. I have to admit that I sucked. But after one and a half hour you could hear a nice melody coming out of my room. 
  • I also renovated my bed room. I put lights and new pillows to make it look more cozy.
  • Before I realize it I found myself drawing my future house. Crazy right? 

And that's the end of my day without screens. I realized that I was very productive. There were moments that I felt really bored and I admit that I kept thinking about staff. BUT it was a very nice experience I would definitely do it again sometime.
