My Quarantine Experience ​

Quarantine is cool and all but I like going outside too.

Since Kansas City, Missouri has issued a stay-at-home warning due to COVID-19, I have been in my house for 14 days in a row and counting. Now I am not to fond of sitting around and doing nothing, so here is all I have accomplished during my time of isolation.

Over spring break-or anytime really-I played video games with my friends. There is a particular one called Fortnite. You may have heard of it, but I have played it for 15 nights in a row with my friends since we can't hangout in person. This game allows us to communicate with one another with our headsets all while playing the game and having fun. Speaking of technology, I have been in contact with my church and small group friends through FaceTime and Google apps.

Summer body? I think its time to get one. While being inside my home, I have been working out like crazy. My workout routine is as follows: 100 push-ups, 60 Russian twists (30 on each side) , 45 second plank x3 while dipping my hips side to side and if the weather permits, I will do a three mile walk and lay outside to tan for 30 minutes. I am prepared to have my summer body by the end of April , assuming I can go outside this summer.

Call me chef because I have been cooking up a storm of food during this time. I have become a grill master in my home. I can fix up burgers, brats: the standard cookout food. I have also become a cook too. Though I only make cookies and brownies, It is far better than cooking nothing at all.

While quarantine may not be over yet, I must enjoy everyday and do nothing more than that. It is difficult not having social interaction in person, but I will happily take a phone call over no call at all. Until I can go outside again, I will be doing my workouts and grilling burgers.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
