The most important lesson I have learned during this Quarantine so far is to not take mundane tasks for granted. I used to dread going to the library to do my homework, complain about walking a mile to class, and want to stay home all day. However, after this is all said and done, I will never take those tasks for granted again.

I would give anything to walk to class again, or hang out with my friends and or even have a busy schedule. When life finally goes back to normal I know one thing, I am going to be more grateful for everyday tasks and excited when I have a busy schedule. With that being said, here are 22 things I will never take for granted again once the quarantine is up.

1. Buying toilet paper easily at the store.

2. Eating at a restaurant. 

3. Shaking someone's hand when you meet them.

Rubbing elbows has got to go!

4. Giving a friend a hug.

5. Leaving your home just because you can.

Is anyone else wishing they could go on a Target run?

6. Going to class in a classroom.

7. Watching a movie at the movie theater.

8. Going to the grocery store without stress.

9. Hanging out with friends.

10. Studying at the library.

I can't believe I am a saying this, I miss Strozier.

11. Going to work.

12. Not washing your hands excessively.

My hands are so dry!

13. Attending a party or celebration.

14. Having a busy schedule.

I have way too much time on my hands currently.

15. Going to the beach or pool.

16. Having a reason to get ready in the morning.

I haven't put on makeup or straightened my hair in weeks.

17. Going on a vacation.

18. Attending a game or sporting event.

Basketball season, I miss you already.

19. Getting your nails or hair done.

20.  Hearing someone cough and not being terrified.

I keep forgetting it's allergy season.

21. Practicing with your team.

Calling all my athletes! Anyone else missing their team as much as me?

22. Having a daily routine.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
