Below are some things I've done to curve my boredom as I try my best to quarantine myself for my and other's health during this time.

Dororo

This Spring I was on and off binging the 2019 version of the anime Dororo. Its storyline was really interesting, as the main character, Hyakkimaru, having being born without limbs, hunts demons in order to take his body parts back, while traveling with his companion, Dororo. It can be pretty dark and sad, but Hyakkimaru has swords for arms and how could you not like that? If you're looking for a great adventure anime, I would highly recommend.

COD Mobile

Call of Duty Mobile just came out with the new Ranked Season 4, entering the month of April, adding a lot of new content to the game. I was disappointed at the start of the season, but since the new additions, the game has been way more fun. Currently, they've added in 2v2 showdown with randomized load-outs, added back Warfare mode to Battle Royale (which I'm very happy about), and lastly added a lot more time-limited, and much more obtainable, tasks for credits, weapons, and loot, and that can be gotten from leveling up in Ranked Matches. Overall, with these additions, I'm very pleased with how the game is playing out right now and look forward to what they do in the near future.

New Music

There has been a lot of new heavy music to come out this Spring ranging from Code Orange to Testament, Heaven Shall Burn, and Suicide Silence, there have been a lot of awaited albums published and a lot more to come, which gives you something nice to do while in quarantine. Code Orange, iconically at their record release show, live-streamed it to fans worldwide, as it was going to be closed to the public because of the COVID-19 virus, which was pretty cool. Other than that I've just been exploring more of heavy music in general, delving into more old school death metal and researching more about those that have pioneered heavy metal subgenres and built what heavy music is today., a good use of my free time.

Physical Health

With everything going on right now and taking necessary precautions to stay safe and protect those around me, I've focused a lot on my physical health. Right now until the end of the semester, I'm at a caloric deficit, or "cutting" as others call it, in order to not particularly lose weight, but lose excess fat. By being inside a lot more than I'm used to it is way easier to just sit around all day, but I have been doing a lot of at-home workouts in order to stay in shape. Also, with most places doing takeout now, it's easier to portion control my food and drink plenty of water so I stay hydrated throughout the day so I'm not so tired.

Keeping Connected

At this time, I've been keeping up more with friends and family, a lot more than usual as I'm not currently in a position to see them face to face on a regular basis. Social isolation makes it easy for people to feel lonely at times, but keeping up with people every week helps. Zoom has been great for this process, making it easy to call people at any time. It's times like these that I'm thankful for my and my family's good health.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
