Time wasting things to do at school

[Rule Britannia]

I'm at school using hotspot shield to unblock the escapist . I'm in English class .
Wouldn't call it wasting however rather 'spending' it

Just daydream about having kinky sex with some sexy teacher (hope you have one). Otherwise, your boring same age classfemales will suffice.

Something I remember me and my friends doing during science class was doodle wars. Someone would draw an environment and we'd take turns.

- A turn was two minutes or less, (unless a doodle was particularly detailed and cool enough to warrant an extension.)

- You could draw two characters, or a character and an attack move, or two attack moves.

- Characters had to be original creations, no boring stick-men, (although stick creations were still allowed.) Obviously it got quite bizarre with characters like "The Upside-Down Xmas Tree of Death" and "Sporkman" but it kept things interesting.

- Everything was one-hit kill even if it was a baby mouse vs. a T-Rex. However attacks had to be line of sight. Attacks were also encouraged to be fitting to the character attacking.

- You could attack the landscape to give line of sight.

It actually turned out to be a pretty fun game. Definitely filled up a class. Allegiences were unspoken and fickle, generally if one person was deemed to be amassing too much power they'd be ganged up on. Or we'd just gang up on someone if we were feeling vindictive. There was rarely a definitive winner but eventually we came up with a scoring system, (which I can't remember,) for the end of the class based on unit's created, units lost and units killed. The winner would get to draw the landscape for the next class.

that is filled with so much win. Sooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

my choice? listen to music, watch entire series of various anime/tv shows/whatever you like to watch inconspicuosly on an ipod or similar device.

also, Zuma. man, i've wasted too much time on my ipod these last few years...

Look at the Escapist or play Minecraft. I'm in class right now and doing both

Sure, my college allows laptops in class, and this particular teacher would probably not mind if we had a full-on LAN party in class as long as we're quiet ...

Sans laptop: Draw. It's how many great artists are made; drawing in their textbooks.

I was lucky to have some classes with a bit of a dull roar while people worked so I'd talk about things that interested me and that made time really fly. Or I'd sleep. I didn't get the nickname Shleepy Steve for nothing.

Almost forgot. If you can get your teacher talking about something they're interested in, it can usually waste an hour. We always got our Spanish teacher to talk about past trips and all that. Usually happened at least twice a week.

Do you have one of them notepads with checkered pages? Try coloring every other square black and make a huge chess board.

I spent most of my time drawing, I took a sketchbook to school for a reason I was always drawing in class when I wasn't doing work. If it was that is was basic clowning around and or hitting on some of my female classmates.

I was wondering if anyone knew any great time wasting things to do at school when bored. Things like: taking pens apart, doodling, making towers with all your stationary etc. I only have a pencil case a book to write in and maybe a textbook when I'm in class.

EDIT: Please, if you're going to make a post that says "try listening to the teacher troll.jpg" don't bother. I'm in first year high school, and so our maths teacher is going over a lot of stuff that I already learned in primary school. So I sit, bored out of my mind for about twenty minutes while he explains Pythagoras' theorem to the rest of the class. I want something to do while he talks. So could you not make a post detailing how I should be listening to the teacher? Cheers.

Do your homework from other classes

If you've got someone else participating at the other side of the room you could always throw things at each other. Just watch the pencil sharpeners though, the corners on those things hurt like hell. Bonus points for 30cm rulers and pens, daredevil bonus for a pair of compasses. Especially for the one that catches the damn things.

Write "6,358 Ways To Throw a Cue Ball".

 

[Plucky]

Buy a huge chunk of blue tack and get itself some housing to keep it in (maybe a metal pencil case) and pull it out whenever you're messing about with it, try making giant heads of cartoon characters, make fake mustaches, or even devil horns.

*Sticks a large chunk of bluetack, covered in bitemarks on his nose* "Look at me, im a Rhino"

Listen to your teacher. If you're going to waste his time by not paying attention you might as well be burning your parents money. They do pay for your education via taxes.
This is just my humble opinion. I'm sorry if you find it disagreeable. : (

Me and my friends occasionally (Biology and Physics, usually) play this game of "Who can list the most ... ". You can fill in game franchises, anime, manga, cars, animals etc. Lets say Countries for example. Now for the entire hour you will list as many countries as you can and the winner is the one who has listed the most, obviously.

Becomes more fun when you set a wager, like the winner gets treated to a meal or something.

 

[TheLastSamurai14]

I flip my pen around in my hand. I've gotten quite good this year, you can thank two double lessons of biology for that.

Oh my god...Are you possibly...

Spoiler: BORIS GRISHENKO!?

OT: Eh, I browse The Escapist, YouTube, and TVTropes all day at school. But I work around computers all day. IT work is my chosen field. It's really too bad that you aren't in a situation like that.

The responses in this thread make me understand why this generation is turning out so...lazy.

When in class, pay attention. When not in class, either spend time with your friends, or do schoolwork. Do you homework!

If you pick things up quickly you have a LOT of spare time in highschool during classes. I was idle for about 30% of the day and got A's. I suppose it came back and bit me in the ass eventually though, because I wasn't used to studying when the work did start to get harder in my first year of uni.

As for what to do with your spare time, draw. Anything that requires a laptop is probably a no-go (at least if your highschool is like mine was) and unless the teachers gives you the OK when your finish the work then a book is probably a bad idea.

I work on homework. There's also Sudoku and various other logic puzzles, but I usually have something that I need to do. If you want to score points with the teacher/professor, read ahead a little and answer the questions on the board before resuming the activities of your choosing. You'll look brilliant when you are able to answer a question accurately when it seems as though you are not even paying attention.
