The ideas expressed on this page are ideas and thoughts that I personally align with and relate too immensely. But i feel like a lot of people my age suffer from being bored and wanting to do something but never actually getting anything done. For example, i’ll sit on a couch with my friends for an hour arguing on what we should do and never actually end up doing anything. But these moments of boredom have allowed for creative thinking and the ability to create and destroy, we created games similar to hide and seek, sometimes even bike around the neighborhood trying to find new places to go even though we knew there was nothing new to find. Also, the boredom prone test spikes my curiosity, it seems like a cool test that everyone should take for fun or to see if you’re actually boredom prone.

I enjoyed the authors own evaluation of himself on this page after he took the boredom test. The average score on the test was a 10 and Bill Wasick scored a 16, this was probably an important piece of back story for the reason why he started the flash mobs. He mentions a point that he gets distracted easily and can never finish anything, yet he is praised for this and called artistic and imaginative but nothing ever gets done. Its a very ironic realization.
