The cozy season is officially here and it’s a favorite time of many people. However, sometimes we may feel a bit out of it. Rain, cold, and darkness may make us feel a certain way. For me personally, research is a great way to recharge and feel better. This is why I wanted to share with you 20 topics to research when you are bored.
I think looking for new information and knowledge can put things into perspective and motivate, at least, me very quickly! It always amazes me how much I don’t know, how many fascinating topics for research there are, how many different hobbies people have. The world is so big and mysterious and it is up to us to explore it, and make it interesting for yourselves.
