Keeping Yourself Occupied During The Pandemic

Being stuck inside all the time doesn't have to be the end of the world.

The coronavirus has forced us all to stay home and away from friends and family. Obviously, the whole. situation sucks but we are doing what is best for our healthcare workers and those at high risk. Now if you're like me, you are starting to go a little insane and the boredom is killing you. Here's a couple things I've done during quarantine to keep myself sane and productive.

1. Catch up in school

Senior year was kicking my butt. I had no motivation to do any homework or catch up in classes I was behind in. I took one Saturday and worked all day and I was able to catch up in everything I was behind in.

2. Deep clean your room

My room was a disaster. I couldn't see my floor and I had no idea where anything I needed was. Deep cleaning took me a few days but eventually I got it done.

3. Try a new workout routine

With the gyms being closed, I needed to figure out a way to stay active. I found some of Chloe Ting's workouts and I personally love them. I have also been trying to walk at least a mile everyday with my neighbor (from 6 feet apart of course).

4. Binge watch a new TV show

I just started All American two days ago and I am obsessed. It is the perfect thing for me to do at night when I'm done with all my school work and want to relax. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it yet.

5. Clean your car

When I'm actually in school, I do not have a lot of motivation to get things done. The inside of my car seems to fill up with trash pretty quickly and the outside of my car is covered in green from the pollen falling. It was pleasant to see my car clean and not having it filled up with trash.

Everyone is struggling during this tough time. This pandemic is terrifying and we do not know when it will end. I am trying to better myself and find things to do that will either make my life less stressful or my life more exciting.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
