How do I make life fun?

Question

I feel like I'm not a normal high-schooler. Never been kissed, never really gotten into any trouble or did anything dangerous. I'm a striahgt A student, gpa is 4.1, and i'm taking all the Honors classes. Gonna be in AP calc next year. and I dunno, i guess i just want a way to enjoy life more.. Everyone i know goes to the beach on the weekends, hangs out with their friends, and just really has a lot of fun. I guess what I'm trying to say is that my friends, and I, have been really boring lately.
whats a way to change this? I don't want to be a nerd anymore--but i do care about my grades.

Oh yeah i've kind of have another question too. There's this guy that i think I might like, but one of my realllyyyy good friends likes him. and it's totally obvious that they're meant for each other--i know theyll eventually start dating. should i just.. give up?



btw, this is my friend's account.

Answer 1

First of all... nobody ever said that if you get good grades, and take hard classes that you're a nerd. i've always been in AP and honors classes... and i have a 4.0 at a private boarding school yet i still manage to go out and have fun...!

Pretty much, you need to start by setting your boundries and knowing what you want. If you want to have more fun, find a hobby or an activity that you enjoy doing, preferably non-school related if thats what you're trying to get away from, and then do it! I love dancing so me and my friends will go to other schools dances or go out clubbing. Explore... find something that you'd never see yourself doing... and then force yourself to do it! Try new restraunts, new foods, new hairstyles, watch a movie you wouldn't normally... anything new is always an adventure.

As for the not normal thing.. i think you're wrong. lottss of people have never really kissed or done much, but brag about things that havn't even really happened. Lots of guys find it sexy when they know a girl has never been with another guy... so don't just give your first kiss to any guy. guys can be pigs and so i'd say you're better off waiting for a non-piggish one ;D. Anddd lets see your friend. This is always hard, but if she did like him first... adn things are progressing, and your friendship means more than a relationship with a guy... then you should let her run her course. If its not meant to be then it won't work out with them and you'll get your chance! but its bros before hoes and in this case that guy is the hoe.

best of luck to you and i hope everything works out!

Chill out, relax, and learn about prioritizing. You've already got a head start, considering your schedule (I mean, AP calc? Wow!); now just figure how do do the same with your out-of-school schedule.

I know that you can enjoy your life and get good grades because I've done it myself. All it takes is planning and a conscious desire to accomplish it. So, work on school stuff when it's necessary, of course, but make time to go out and do fun stuff. Go swimming (it's warming up, so you might as well enjoy it), or some other thing that'll introduce you to new people, and go from there. Once you get the hang of it, it'll be easy, okay?

Hey congratulations on a great achievement in school.

As for fun......well ......let's put it this way. Fun is a relative term. What may be fun for some may not be fun for others.

Take me for example. I enjoy study. I always have. My friends don't see the point of continuing to study once they have left high school and got a job.

What they think of as fun is going to the pub and getting drunk. I don't think that is fun. I think that is boring. What I think is fun is staying sober and getting to know people through laughter and talking.

Maybe what you and your friends should do is expand your network of contacts. Translation: go out and meet new people and find out what sort of things they do for fun, and if it interests you ask if you can join them or how you can start.

You don't need to party all the time to have fun. You won't enjoy going to the beach with the others if you don't fit in. Why don't you and a few of your friends get together and go on a day trip to somewhere you find interesting. Go on a bus or train trip to another town, wander round, have a cup of coffee, do a bit of sight-seeing.
As for the other guy, let it go. You'll find someone for yourself in time.

Answer 5

to make your life more interesting you have to do different things, variety is the spice of life. there must be something that you wanna try and do, something that youve thought was cool. if you have such a thing, then you should pursue it.

if you dont have something in mind, then invent something. this may actually be alot harder than the first option. inventing something fun is often difficult but at the same time quite simple. one of my the better inventive fun group activies i've made was to rent horrible movies with my friends, watch them at home, and make fun of them.
it is quite simple. and anyone can join in.

another option would be to hangout with someone you dont normally hangout with, it might be the extra piece of your group of friends click. that person that just has a certain energy that makes everything fun. yknow?

best of luck to you.

Answer 6

uhm... like you, im also care very much for my grades. i don't allow them to be low. but i never experienced having no fun at all. even if im said to be "gc" by my friends, i always hang out with them. you can go out with them or like what you've said, go to the beach! you can do what you want without making your grades low. one thing also is i enjoy having high grades. for me it's fun. but every weekend i go out with my friends. sometimes to the mall especially in gbox. we sing in the videoke, and play games. for your friend, i think it's really effective if you will tell your friend that you like also who she likes but its not to ruin your friendship or their relationship. but if the guy really like your friend, i think you must just let them go with their relationship. im so sorry if it hurts.

Answer 7

you can still be smart and not be a total loser. be open minded and talk to people that you normally dont talk to and hang out with them. it doesn't mean doing things illegal or hanging out with trouble makers.
