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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
