My Quarantine Life Savers

This much social isolation causes us to think of creative ways to pass our time!

While being in quarantine due to the COVID-19 virus that has been spreading rapidly across the globe, I have had to rely on many of these things to entertain myself. Many of us are struggling to find things to do during this time of social isolation. I think it is a great time to pick up a new hobby or have some well-needed rest time. We all could use some quarantine life savers!

1. Netflix. 

I think everyone can agree with me that even before the quarantine, Netflix was always our life saver. The amount of movies and TV shows to binge watch in unmatched. When winding down and trying to relax, playing a movie or your favorite TV show will be just what you need. I think we all can also admit that there have been days that have consisted of countless hours of back-to-back movies and falling asleep on your couch. Why not embrace those days?

2. Quarantine Buddies. 

Who you choose to spend your quarantine with is VITAL to how your quarantine will go. I always suggest your immediate family, giving you guys some time together. However, if you choose your friends, it might give you a chance to catch up and make more memories together. Spending that much time with the same people causes us to go a little crazy, but these are the best moments. Take advantage of this time with them and trust me the delusional moments cause the funniest memories.

3. The Sun. 

Living in South Florida, the sun is my best friend. Especially when moving to Tallahassee, I miss the heat. The weather has been absolutely beautiful during this time (of course when the beaches are closed), but that doesn't mean we can not get some time in the sun. I like going in my backyard and laying out and some of us lucky ones have pools in our backyards as well. Take the time to get your tan on and relax by the pool, I promise it will be worth it!

4. White Claws. 

They are right when they say, "there ain't no laws"! I think with everything going on, everyone deserves a drink. White claws have been my best friend while tanning outside or spending nights in with my family. This can turn into a night of playing games with family or a day out by the pool. Either way, kicking back with a White Claw can turn your whole mood around.

5. Crafting. 

Everyone I know has taken up a hobby. My mom and I love going into her office/craft room and bringing out whatever project we want to tackle that day. We color, do calligraphy, and have been trying to work her new Cricket in order to make some really cool stickers/shirts! I highly recommend picking up on a new hobby during this quarantine. This can be something to do with your family or something that can finally give you some alone time. You never know, maybe even try something new!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
