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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
