I think you should look in to some mindfulness practices.

Why are you bored? Are you really even bored? What is boredom? How do I feel and how do I change that.

Its a super simple concept but it really helps in self betterment, dealing with emotions, ans getting to the core of your own desires and helps to lead a more fulfilling life where you actually do the things you want to do because you actually want to do them.

Retrain how you perceive boredom. Its your mind and body telling you something. Listen.

Also, a quote I heard when I was younger has always stuck with me. "Don't do what you love, love everything you do" . Basically, try to put your all into everything and take pride in even the smallest of tasks. I've found its very helpful as far as mental health is concerned.

Personally I play guitar and drums and write my own stuff. I always can fall back on that because it's something I LOVE to do. Find something you really love and stick with it. Get good at it.

Make the most of your time here.
