How to Maintain A Relationship During Quarantine

In This Article:

With the Coronavirus pandemic, it has been essential for every individual to be self quarantined in order to reduce the spread of this virus. Unfortunately, I have seen a lot of younger adults at the beach for spring break or partying without caring about what is going on. Although a healthy young adult will probably be okay if they get sick, they can still be carriers of it. Then, it can be spread to someone who might have an immune deficiency.

With all of this happening, I have had friends asking me how they can maintain their relationships when they can't see their significant other. It's hard for them, especially the ones starting with someone new.

Here are some ideas of how to self-quarantine while maintaining this relationship:

1. Quarantine and chill

Lol, this one is kind of hard because it can really only be safe if neither party has been exposed to someone with the virus.

2. Watch Netflix with them online

"Netflixparty" gives Netflix the capability of watching Netflix with friends online. There is even a chat section on the side. This allows for a cute, long-distance movie night date.

3. Facetime

Technology advances woo hoo! Facetime for lunch or dinner, or even for late night chat.

4. Snapchat

Share cute pictures about your day.

5. Tik Tok

Duet each other's videos and become a Tik Tok couple.

6. Share a playlist

Show them how much you care by putting together a playlist.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
