There Is A Lot To Do In Quarantine Don't You Worry | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Self-care during this quarantine at home is really important, as you do have the time to take time to yourself for the most part. For me, I still have to do online school but I have made sure to take the time to relax. There has been a lot of things I have done to keep calm and most certainly busy. I have started to comb through my closet and sell things that are sitting around. I use the apps Mercari and Poshmark and I'm able to ship my items directly from my mailbox. If you don't have a mailbox as your option at an apartment complex or wherever you live, I'm sure your leasing office won't mind you dropping your package off in front of their doors, so it's no contact!

So far I have made several sales from home and it's been therapeutic.i like that I'm getting rid of things that I no longer use anymore! I have made happy hour a necessity most days at home with my beverage of choice, non-alcoholic options are available of course if you aren't 21. You can honestly add in snacks with your drinks to make it fun. We made a cheese board with some crackers the other night and you can do this too. If you don't have a board laying around you can always use a plate, paper even!

Netflix, Hulu, amazon prime, Disney plus. I'm on season 4 of the hills on amazon prime, I feel like we forget that if we have access to prime we also have access to prime video. Netflix has a lot of shows and movie right now too, Tiger King is on there of course! Hulu and Disney Plus has additional shows and movies to keep you occupied and keep you chill as ever (if you watch Frozen lol). Lastly, face masks and bath bombs. And no not the Co-vid ones, the ones that you put on that are good for your skin and scented. I'm sure if you have a self-care stash lying around somewhere or you can take your stash with you if you're moving home

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
