5 Ways To Celebrate Your Birthday While Social Distancing

As I prepare to celebrate my birthday tomorrow and many of my friends will be in the next few days, we've been trying to figure out how to have some form of a party without putting anyone at risk. To all my fellow Aries babies out there: let's get these social distancing parties going.

1. Host a Skype/Zoom/FaceTime Party

Pick a time and invite your whole squad for a properly social distanced birthday bash. You can have a coffee date, lunch date, dinner party, or a virtual happy hour and be surrounded by your favorite people while staying safe.

2. Have a Netflix Party

Netflix has a Netflix Party extension for Chrome where you can watch the same movie or show with your friends virtually. Pick a flick, make some popcorn, and have a movie night.

3. Get take-out from a local restaurant.

Support local businesses and get some grub for yourself and whoever you live with. It's like a dinner party, but you don't have to worry about looking cute, meaning it's even better.

4. Have a personal parade

Get in your car and just drive around. Stop by your friends' houses so they can say hi to you through your car window. If your friends are really cool, they can do it the other way around where they all drive to your house and scream happy birthday out the window at you.

5. Eat every quarantine snack you have

It's your birthday. Who's going to tell you that you can't? Eat all those sweets!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.
