10 ways 2 Fight The Boredom of College Years

In no specific order:

- Steal a traffic cone. ive always had this irresistable urge 2 steal one. Plan ahead on what u intend 2 do with it. No amount of duct tape will stick it 2 the top of car. If u place it in ur parking spot, expect it 2 be gone by next morning. (u might also want to bring along plastic sheets, apparently traffic cones r very DIRTY !)

- Sitting on the hood of a moving car while singing (substitute screaming) along with tamir 7osni's 'kol mara' is not a good idea. Even if u think u r in a secluded area ur colleague from uni will 'y6ee7 3alaikum'. Also; warn the designated driver not to brake suddenly while ur adjusting ur position on top of the car, u could spontaneously find urself in the middle of the street.

- While bored of all the routine places 2 go in Kuwait: do something different ! Visit the Psychiatric Hospital. Be sure u have a big strong man 2 hide behind if u get creeped out by deserted buildings with dead animals in the entrance area (ur skinny girl friend is not the best person 2 run in fear 2). Do not visit at night and think up a better excuse than 'were doing a project' if u want 2 see the junkies.


- Pretend to be a lesbian (this doesnt work quite as well if ur male). The proper way 2 do this is 2 duck slightly out of sight of passing strangers and reemerge a few seconds later with smeared lipstick and messy hair. Try not to giggle in a childish manner as u see the horror on said strangers faces... especially if said strangers r a conservative saudi family visiting q8. (On a lighter note, now they have an exciting story on the sights + sounds of Kuwait)

- Rent a mini cooper 4 the day. Take it even if its a convertible and the jaw is so r6ooba when u put the top up u cant see anything in the rearview mirror. To avoid the weather try not to be in Bahrain while doing it.

- Pretend 2 be a 3gaidi guy. Don a cap, chmaq, mesba7 + birkenstoks (make sure ur toenails r not painted bright red, ur aiming for 3gaidi guy not gay guy). Cruise around in a tinted car with loud samrat music, to be more authentic beep ur horn and whistle at any female forms that u encounter.

- If u find a salon that will do it, get ur whole head of hair braided Jamaican Style. If the women that works in the salon is Ethiopian and u cant understand directions to said salon stay at home and get more bored.

- Street-luge. Grab a long plank of wood, tie some roller skates on it, and launch urself down the nearest road. Try to slipstream behind the traffic. Dont worry about hitting anything - the drivers cant see u, and if they cant see u they cant crash into u. Probably.

- Dispose of batteries by putting them in fire. Go on. The majority of the worlds population won't ever get to see a battery, let alone watch 1 explode. Thats a good enough reason 2 do so. If u get bored graduate 2 fire extinguishers.

- Try 'zorbing' : which involves encasing urself in a giant inflatable plastic ball and rolling ur body down a hill at 50 mph. Its perfectly safe ! unless u hit something sharp ... or roll out 2 sea .. or suffocate ... or catch fire .. or dissolve in a lake of solvents.
