5 Things To Do While Quarantined In College

Many of us right now are in the same position: stuck at college while doing online classes. Things can get boring very easily, so I made a list of 5 things my friends and I came up with to help pass time!

Find Your Old Video Games

Maybe it's time to finally complete that Super Mario Galaxy game from your childhood. Digging out your Wii, DS or any other game console from your childhood can bring so much entertainment and nostalgia for you and your friends! It's the perfect quarantine activity while being stuck in your college dorm or apartment. Most gaming consoles have multiplayer features so you can play with a group.

Start A New Crafting Hobby

You can come out of quarantine with really awesome painting or crafting skills. In your spare time, working on crafts or painting can not only be super relaxing but can also get your brain energized for additional classes.

Begin A Home Workout Routine

Starting a regular workout routine can help improve your mental health and overall wellness. Setting aside some time each evening to be a bit active can help you feel energized from your day!

Explore The Nearby Park Or Forest

Getting out by yourself to sightsee your campus' nearby park or trail is a great idea to be socially distant and also get our for a bit. The wilderness can be so relaxing and peaceful in contrast to a crowded campus.

Journal

Journaling is an excellent way to get your thoughts out onto paper.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
