Technology-Free Quarantine Activities

In This Article:

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
