22 Things I Will Not Take For Granted After The Quarantine

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
