During these insane times, we all have to find ways to stay sane while staying in. Although being stuck at home because of a pandemic isn't ideal, it does provide for a lot of time to do things for yourself! If you haven't been staying home and continue to galavant around town, please stay home, and maybe this list can give you some inspiration!

1. Rewatch Gossip Girl

Giphy

One of the greatest love stories of all time, Chuck and Blair. This quarantine has provided ample time to rewatch the entire Gossip Girl series, and allow you to fall in love with them all over again. If you never watched Gossip Girl originally, then I am fiercely envious of you, because now you can experience it for the first time in such a way that really allows you to soak in the fabulousness of the show.

2. Learn to cook

So obviously this isn't something I will be learning to do during this self-isolation, however I have seen tons of influencers on Insta learning how to cook now. I tried to cook something the other day, and it ended in tears and some super burnt food. Cooking isn't for everyone, but if you're good at cooking, then it's a great skill to have under your belt!

3. Go through your old school yearbooks

Giphy

Going through your old yearbooks is hilarious because you can see how much people have changed, or how they've stayed entirely the same. Bonus points if you start cyber-stalking old classmates and they now have a kid. (or multiple) Doing this also helps you selfishly feel better about yourself because you realize there are some people who will literally never leave your little hometown and at least your out here doing something!

4. Rearrange your space

Giphy

Rearranging your space is a fun way to change the vibe of the room and it's genuinely just fun. You don't even need to buy anything new to redesign, there are tons of ways to display the pieces you already have! Doing this makes you feel like your on your own episode of an HGTV show, 10/10 would recommend!

5. Write a letter to someone

Giphy

Write a letter to your grandparents, high school friends, an old teacher, it doesn't matter! Handwriting someone a letter is a lost art, and it will really make the person receiving it so happy, because they know you took extra time to think about them and do this!

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
