If your screen time is scarily increasing... pay attention

Apr 15, 2020

During quarantine, it is pretty easy to just lay in bed and watch Netflix, scroll Instagram and watch TikTok's all day. However, that probably isn't the best for your eyes or brain or personal being, and honestly, that gets pretty boring after a while. Here are some fun activities to keep you busy that don't require a screen!

Painting & Drawing

I honestly don't know what happened to me, but I have had the overwhelming feeling to paint and draw. It's extremely fun and relaxing while getting out your "creative juices", and it's honestly pretty fun to facetime your friends while painting and drawing.

Clean Your Room

I know that sounds disgustingly boring, but it's kinda necessary when you can't leave your room. Currently, your room should be sort of like your sanctuary and make you happy. Also, you may find some fun things in your room- I just found my string and have been making string bracelets.

Journal

My mom has been telling me to journal for like, ever, but I never wanted to. But, now I decided to do it during this time. It's actually pretty fun and makes your ~feelings~ flow.

Read

Although it physically pains me to read a 4 page pdf for class, I have always liked to read like fun books. Recently, I started reading for fun again and its actually very fun and ~calming~.

Walking

During this quarantine, I have walked in my neighborhood more than I have in the entire 10 years of living here. It's great to get outside, get some fresh air, and listen to music.

Tye-Dye

If you've spent a second on social media, during this whole time- you'd know that tye-dye is everywhere. I've finally convinced my mom to let me buy a kit, but it's not coming til may so i am COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."

3. "You guys all look the same."

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

7. "You're wasting your money."

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.
