12 Things To Do During Quarantine, Besides Watching Netflix, That Still Allow You To Social Distance

For me, it's week three of social distancing and TBH, I had to look that up because all of my days have blended together. And I'm most likely not the only one who is feeling that way.

If you are in the same position as I am currently in, you probably have gotten to the point that you feel like you have literally watched EVERYTHING there is to watch on Netflix and are now looking to go something else (let's be honest, you've probably watched that some show or movie at least 100 times now).

A lot of people are going crazy at home, and this seems to only be the beginning of our unwanted staycations, so here's a list of 12 things to do during quarantine, that will still allow you to social distance.

Put together a puzzle (or two)

See on Instagram

Especially one of those puzzles that has more than 100 pieces. It can be fun and takes a few hours (or days to do), then once you've finished it you'll more than likely have a sense of accomplishment.

Play board games

What better way to bring the family together?

Clean the house

Get some of that Spring (or deep) cleaning done around the house.

Read

Reading a good book never hurt. If you don't want to physically read a book then theres always the option of audio books.

Quarantine Photoshoots

Yes, I'll be honest, I just wanted an excuse to use one of the pics I took this past Monday with my cousin. That being said, I still think taking pics are a fun thing to do and at the very least it can get you and your photog outside for a bit.

Sit or play outside

Sometimes a change or scenery is all you need.

Cook or bake something new

Draw or paint (or write)

Not only is it fun, but relaxing and therapeutic as well.

FaceTime (or Zoom) with friends and family

Just one of the ways to feel less alone.

Do an at home workout

Get a head start on that summer body, because what else is there to do? Believe me when I say, not only are there plenty of apps for the phone, but also tons of online videos too.

Learn a new skill

Ever wanted to learn something but not had the time? Nows the chance. Maybe it's a new language or maybe how to draw.

Make a Tik Tok of your own

Have you ever wanted to make a Tik Tok but not had the time? Well, now is the perfect time to hone in your video and creativity skills.

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.

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.
