Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with activities in the Hub City or Laurel, but there is a nice art museum in Laurel - Lauren Rogers Museum of Art (
http://lrma.org/). You might also want to check on the activities at USM, but they might be scarce until school resumes next month. If you like the beach, it's only a day trip to the Coast.
Hope your loneliness is only temporary.
