Quarantine Activities

1.) Paint by Numbers. Available to buy on Amazon and paintbynumbers.com, paint by numbers is a fun and easy way to kill time and develop your artistic skills.

2.) Become TikTok famous. Learn the dances and follow the strange trends. Watching TikToks can also give you other ideas of what to do during quarantine. I've seen many TikToks about special recipes and art projects that anyone can do!

3.) Read a good book. Usually I'm not an avid reader, but over the past couple of weeks I have been able to read a couple of really great books. Also, you can create a Goodreads account where you can track the books that you have read and get book recommendations.

4.) Watch a good television series. I personally love to watch docu-series when I have a lot of time on my hands. At the moment, I recommend watching Tiger King or Jailbirds, both available on Netflix.

5.) Learn something new. With the extra time on your hands you can start to learn a new language or learn how to play an instrument.

6.) Hone your cooking or baking skills. Spice up the kitchen with some new recipes; there are thousands of recipes available for anyone to use online!

7.) Scrapbook. We are a part of a very historically important time right now. Taking photographs and journaling is a good way to document what is happening so you can remember it and look back years from now when you are no longer quarantined!

8.) Reach your health goals. With the time to prepare healthier meals and exercise, being quarantined could be the opportunity to achieve your health goals that always got put on the back burner.

9.) Read the News. I think trying to stay informed and aware about the world right now is important in light of the pandemic.

10.) Keep in Touch with Friends and Family. If being isolated means that you are separated from loved ones, make sure to keep in touch.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
