5 Ways to Help Your Community While In Quarantine

In This Article:

Our community needs us more than ever right now. I know some cities aren't on lockdown anymore, but for those cities that are still on lockdown, please don't forget about your community. Life is so difficult right now, but it is even more difficult for those who own businesses that rely on people to physically come to their store. A couple weeks ago, I was given an extra credit assignment to do five things for my community while practicing social distancing. It got me thinking about if other people were paying respect to local heroes that have been working so hard during the pandemic. Please use these ideas and pay it forward to those working extra hard in your community.

1. Write a letter to your local grocery store.

Most grocery store websites have a link on their page on how to send a letter praising the staff of a certain grocery store.

2. Make a sign and put it in your front yard thanking healthcare workers.

3. Make masks! (if you are talented enough to do so!)

This is one I couldn't do due to being artistically challenged.

4. Order food form local restaurants .

Local restaurants are the absolute best!

5. Thank people on social media for practicing safe social distancing!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
