With 100, you can become even better with your newly developed capability.

Build a shed, create your own jungle gym, try wood transfer art, and more. The choices are virtually limitless with this much time, and you don’t have to put in too many hours each day if you don’t opt for a highly intricate project.
Whether you have a lawn and a patch of ground to spare or you simply have pots and planters that you can fit into your apartment’s sill, you can create your own little farm and grow some sustainable edibles for yourself. That is a great way to spend your time on a relaxing new activity that yields beneficial results you can be proud of (and then subsequently eat).
If you put in 10 hours a day, you can achieve essential fluency of a difficult language within just 72 days, and with easier ones, it can be done in only 48 days. The rest of your days in the set goal you have can be relegated to rest days unless you want to go all out and do it every single day. A new language is fun to explore and expands your mind and the media you can consume.
So, if you’ve got 100 days, fret not. There’s a lot of awesome stuff you can do.
