Please help me brainstorm

Hi! I will try to make this short. I work at an office (I have my own space) and I am technically an apprentice/student of sort.

Hi! I will try to make this short.

I work at an office (I have my own space) and I am technically an apprentice/student of sort. I am 1/4 of the way through my office-administration education and I need to stay here for 1,5 years more.

I work here full time, but I barely have work enough for a part time job. I keep knocking on everybodys doors asking if they need help with anything and my boss doesn’t really want to do much about it (but I will try to talk to them about it again). I honestly just feels like there is no need for me, so spending a full work week in an office doing nothing is really affecting my mental health. I feel useless and like I am wasting my life.

My question is: is there any ideas as to what I can do in my office that will make me feel like time is not wasted? Like maybe reading, being creative, something that can enrich my life without is looking very obvious that I am not working?

I know the obvious question is; why not look for another job? And just know that I am very much considering it.

Thank you for reading!
