Some hobbies that I have picked up while stuck inside during quarantine!

Apr 30, 2020

By far the most interesting and exciting hobby I have picked up while stuck at home is investigating old crime and mystery cases. My last two articles have had topics related to this and more will come! With my major in journalism and minor in criminology, it is really interesting to start looking into the field now and picking up on the methods and techniques that previous reporters and investigators have gone through while trying to uncover mysteries. This is a hobby that can interest just about anyone and many sources online along with channels on Youtube and TV series have similar storylines to get others involved in the world of crime. @BellaFiori on Youtube posts videos called "Mystery Mondays" where she goes over the facts and evidence from old unsolved cases; and updates her viewers when cases have been solved. I strongly urge you to go check them out!

Another hobby that now is the perfect time for is exercise. Between running, yoga, pilates, hikes, and other at-home workouts, I have been staying busy and there is a range of options available for those who cannot hit the gym. Special apps and channels online give the perfect routine sets for people of varying fields of workout interests, making it the perfect past time. With a healthy body comes healthy eating, and I have been practicing a lot of different cooking tutorials with my time. Between baking and new recipes, there's a lot more than you think you can make with the ingredients you have at home.

Lastly, what is essential in a time like this where staying at home is important to the health and well-being of not only you but others is to take time to focus on yourself and stay busy. Now is the time to slim down what is really essential in your life, and have some fun with the opportunities that are available to you from behind your doors. Rearranging your room, getting creative with some new art forms, starting a herb garden, or just simply spending time with your family (especially for all you college students) can help illuminate the times we are stuck in right now!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
