Things To Do To Make Self-Quarantine A Little Less Boring

Almost everyone right now is dealing with the process of self-quarantine, where people are instructed to stay home and avoid areas where contact with others could occur. This is all in an effort to prevent the spread of viruses, specifically the fast-spreading pandemic COVID-19. Personally, I have found that this free time at home could be more interesting than people are realizing.

1. Pick Up a New Hobby

Sometimes you never know you're good at something until you try. You can pick up painting, drawing, or writing, for example. I looked up some YouTube videos on how to draw faces and now I've gotten into portraits.

2. At-Home Work Outs

The public gym may be closed, but there are a lot of work out exercises that can be done right in your living room.

3. Discovering New Movies/Shows on Netflix

With a lot of free time comes a lot of chances to see movies you never even knew existed.

4. Actually Studying

This may not be the most fun thing to do, but with a lot of free time, catching up on schoolwork or studying for upcoming exams is making good use of time.

5. Finishing Things You Started But Never Finished

Sometimes, when life becomes really busy we start certain projects that we never get to finish, like organizing closets or your room for example.

Don't forget to stay safe! I hope these tips helped make the everyday quarantine go by a little faster and a little more enjoyable.

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
