So my live in boyfriend (who I've been with happily for over 2 years) is leaving me for the summer to work in another state

He's leaving tomorrow and I'm getting really nervous/anxious/worried. He's basically my ROCK and he is always there for me through all my crazy BP ups & downs. He gives me the space I need when I'm manic, and comforts me when I'm depressed, and is always there to listen to me when I need to yap about my problems lol.

Anyway... my rock is leaving me for almost 2 months and I'm super upset about it My therapist told me to create a "plan". Basically a list of things that I can do to keep myself occupied, distracted, and "happy" while he's gone.

Currently I'm unemployed (looking... but unfortunately haven't heard back from anyone.) I'll also be starting summer school in a few weeks. So, so far all I have on my list for my "plan" is:

-Go to school, (get an A!)
-Look for a job
-Try and hang out with friends (movie nights, lunch, dinner)
-Find a new book to get into & read it cover to cover (any suggestions?)
-Take advantage of our netflix account
-Start eating better/go to the gym

& that's about it! I'm a pretty big homebody, although I do love to hang out with friends once in awhile when I'm feeling social. I'm looking for any ideas of things I can do at home (or outside) that I can do to keep my mind active and keep from slipping into a state of depression.

What do you all like to do for fun or as a hobby?
