4 Fun Things To Do While Inside

Four ways to keep yourself occupied during quarantine.

I usually like to write about things that are real and maybe even difficult to talk about sometimes. This week, however, I decided I didn't want to focus too much on the stressors of our world. Instead, I decided to focus on some fun things to do inside.

I've come to the realization that I am becoming very bored in quarantine, and I don't think I'm the only one. There are only so many K-Dramas I can sit through with my younger brother before I get tired of staring at a television screen.

(However, I would recommend watching "Itaewon Class" on Netflix.)

I have also come to the conclusion that social media does nothing but drive me insane when I'm stuck inside all day.

So, if you're anything like me, keep on reading. Here are four ways to keep yourself occupied during quarantine.

1. Start a dream journal. 

Fun fact about me: I lucid dream quite often and, as a result, I remember a lot of my dreams. Due to this, I discovered one of my favorite things to do is to journal my dreams and later try to decipher what they might mean.

However, you don't have to be an expert at lucid dreaming to do this; you can simply start by writing down what you remember from dreams until you start to remember more.

2. Learn a few new recipes. 

Since going vegan this past January, one little experiment I like to do is find what vegan ingredients I have in the house and try to find a recipe online with those items. This doesn't always go well, but it has also helped me find some of my best go-to meals.

Over time, I've realized that the recipes I found from many different blogs by mothers tend to be the best.

3. Read the dusty book on your shelf you’ve been ignoring. 

This might not be the best option for everyone, but I personally love reading. However, I do have a tendency to put books on my bookshelf and forget about them.

This is the perfect opportunity to catch up on some old reading!

4. Do some crafts. 

This isn't the best time to go out and buy new paints and canvases, but you can always find the loose construction paper you've had laying around for years and some colored pencils to keep you (and little ones) occupied for hours.

While not being able to go outside may suck, you can still make the most out of it with the stuff you forgot you had at home and just a little bit of imagination.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
