When you've already been stuck inside the house for four months and most likely will continue to be stuck inside the house for unknown periods of time, chances are you are bored out of your mind. You've run out of Netflix shows to watch and sleeping and eating aren't exactly hobbies. Lucky for you, I've compiled a random list of fun and oddly specific things you can do while in quarantine.

50. Play a mobile game

49. Start scrapbooking

48. Rearrange your closet

47. Complete a puzzle

46. Mock Trump with the family (you laugh, but it's very entertaining)

45. Bake cupcakes

44. Start an daily workout challenge

43. Write poetry and/or short stories

42. Text everyone in your contact list

41. Make Pinterest boards

40. Make chalk art or jump rope in the backyard

39. Reenact a musical (personally, I suggest Hamilton)

38. Go for a long run outdoors (before 7am if you live in Arizona)

37. Online shop (or online window shop if you're short on cash)

36. Read online Manga

35. Or just read Ebooks if Manga isn't your thing

34. OR just read books. Like, real page smell and all

33. Make a list of places you want to travel to

32. Edit your resume

31. Job and internship hut (there are some good online jobs and internships)

30. Take a class

29. Make a fort indoors and go "camping"

28. Do some new skin care routines

27. Try something new with your makeup

26. If you're religious, pray and get closer to God

25. If not, meditate

24. Make your own jewelry

23. Make your own snacks

22. Deep clean your room

21. Create something (artwork, a podcast, a blog, etc.)

20. Put on your favorite music and dance for hours

19. Watch childhood TV shows and movies

18. Watch the movies and TV shows you hadn't gotten a chance to see yet

17. Watch some old movies (I'm talking before 1960; they're actually quite good)

16. Host game nights with your family

15. Host virtual game nights with your friends over Facetime or Skype

14. Dye your hair. Or cut it. Go crazy!

13. Make TikToks

12. Listen to new podcasts (one of my favorites is Spoken Mentalities on Youtube...oh wait, that's mine!)

11. Make a garden and plant something

10. Or get a cute, indoors, potted plant

9. Order food from restaurants that you've never been to

8. Watch the news (not obsessively though)

7. If you're a guy, grow a beard

6. Cook up a new recipe

5. Cry...sometimes we need a good cry

4. Take Buzzfeed quizzes

3. Read magazines

2. Read articles on ASU Odyssey. Duh!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
