Quarantine Vibin'

A little quarantine bucket list, if you will.

Quarantine Vibin'

I'm the type of person who always likes to have my endgame in mind, which is a huge reason why quarantine is stressing me out. I don't know how long this will go on and I don't know how this will turn out. I have no end game.

When I worry... I don't stress eat, stress cry, or stress sleep. I plan.

I'm determined to make quarantine as productive and positive of an experience as possible. So I made a Quarantine Vibin' list.

I organized it into four sections: Career (self-explanatory), Wellness (much-needed), Youth (I need to stay young), and Wholesome (I try).


1. CAREER

Prep for consulting.

Time to grind on mock interviews, resume and cover letter revisions, and mental math (I highly recommend the Mental Math app)! I want my brain to stay sharp during quarantine.

Watch Netflix in Chinese.

My Mandarin is really bad so I'm planning on watching Chinese dramas with English subtitles. After elementary school, I stopped working on my Chinese — and this is the perfect time to start learning again!


2. WELLNESS

Workout and do dance videos.

The goal is to workout one to one and a half hours a day and dance along with The Fitness Marshall (check out his YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFitnessMarshall).

Walk Sunny (my dog).

He deserves the best… and what better time to give it to him than now?

Do yoga.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Stretch.

I used to be a dancer, and it's time to get my flexibility back! Stretching right before bed also helps me have a deeper and more restful night.

Read.

What better time than now to cozy up with some good books? I'm planning on reading Option B, Becoming, and Girl Boss.

Sunbathe.

Originally I had "tan" on my list, but I'm trying to focus on enjoying the process rather than evaluating the result. In a time like this, it's important to stay as positive as possible.

Glow up my room.

Now that I basically live there...

Write letters to friends.

Taking a break from technology while staying in touch with friends… what could be better?

FaceTime friends.

FaceTime is the closest thing we have to meeting in person! I love FaceTiming friends while going on a walk — this helps me get moving when I'm feeling lazy!

Throw Netflix parties.

Who says you can't throw parties without social distancing? https://www.netflixparty.com/


3. YOUTH

Laugh more.

Laughing is a great stress reliever!

Learn how to twerk and yike.

Why not?

Sing more.

I was a singer in high school but I stopped singing when I entered college. After being quarantined for a few days, I realized that this is a great opportunity to get back into it. Once my friends started requesting songs, it evolved into a fun project!


4. WHOLESOME

Plan for Mother's Day.

Mother's Day 2020 is less than two months away! Since we're quarantined now, I have plenty of time to plan something special for my mom.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
