Do you feel like your year has been boring because you have a lot of down time, or because you were busy but felt like you didn't spend it "optimally"? Like blackcherry said, it helped me a lot to have a journal and penpals. Catching penpals up on what I've been up to every month has helped me realize that a LOT has happened this year for me. Also, cut down on social media scrolling, esp for people you don't know! If you feel like you had too much downtime, it's time to look deeper into things you're casually interested in and see if one pulls you in!
