Things to do on your commute

So 4 days every week I commute up to London, from Winchester (about 60 miles), to go to college. That means I'm on the train for about 2 hours every day. Which when your doing nothing is a very long time. But to kill time I spend it doing other things like blogging to make time go quicker.

This is what I do on my commute:

1) Watch a film on my iPod. My favourite is Breakfast at Tiffany's

2) Reading but not from a tablet from a real paper back book. One of my favourites is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
-REMEMBER! Real books have curves!-

3) Write. I like to jot down my thoughts or even things I notice on the train. It's great to look back on and remember.

4) Read the metro or evening standard. An easy way to keep up to date on what's going on in the world and to kill time. Plus it's free so what's not to love?

5) Blog. Like what I'm doing right now. Plan what your going to say or when your going to post next. It will kill 10 minutes at least!

6) Sleep. Most commuters sleep, you can look round and see at least half the carriage catching up on their beauty sleep and I have to admit I'm the same.

7) Scroll through social media. From twitter to pinterest. Bring yourself up to date with what everyone else is doing whilst your stuck on the train.

8) Do your make up. I see many girls on the train with their compact mirrors and mascara. And really it's a good idea! Plus you get an extra 10-15 minutes in bed

9) Learn a new language. I don't do this but I have seen other commuters with their 'learn Spanish' book. It's a good way to spend the time. Especially if you travel a lot.

10) Pin on Pinterest. Now for those who know me it's no secret I'm addicted to Pinterest. And I'm regularly on it during my commutes.
