Things To Keep You Busy In Quarantine

Most people have already hit the one month mark in quarantine. As you begin to run out of ideas for fun and interesting things to do during quarantine, here as some ideas of interesting activities that can occupy your time.

Watch Movies 

Now is the perfect time to make a list of the movies that you want to watch. If you need some ideas Netflix and Disney + have lots of great options and you could subscribe to a free trial if you don't currently have an account.

Plant some fruits and vegetables

Spending time outside can be rejuvenating and a good way to boost your spirits during these difficult times. Planting a garden is a good use of your time outside and once you're finished you'll fell accomplished.

Spend time with family

If you're fortunate enough to be quarantined with your family, make sure to spend time playing games or taking walks together. If you're not quarantined with your family, try to take some time to call your family members two or three times a week.

Write in a journal 

Down the road it'll be important that we have the memories of these unprecedented times. Writing things down means that you'll be able to have a detailed record of your experiences that you can share with your future friends and family.

Take a virtual tour of the world 

We can't travel around the world because of quarantine. However, just because you missed out on your spring break trip doesn't mean that you shouldn't get to see really cool places around the world.

Try yoga 

Releasing some steam is an important part of remaining calm and having a positive outlook during these difficult times. Find a couple of good video tutorials that can help you to learn some of the basics and grow from there.

Read a book 

Reading is always a good opportunity to lift your spirits. Find a happy book that you know you'll enjoy and dive right in. It'll help you to sit down, relax, and take some time for yourself.

Reorganize your room

Rearranging your room is a great way to feel some new energy. It can help you to prefect new organizational systems, decorate in new ways, and optimize your room space.

Learn how to fix your clothes 

If you have some old jeans that could use some love or a sweater with a hole in it. Look up some youtube videos of how you can restore your clothes to their former glory. You'll get to wear them longer and save yourself some money from having to buy new clothes.

Bake a cake or some bread 

Baking is a great way to get your mind off of the things that are going on. And the possibilities of what you can make are endless. So get some flour and sugar and a good old family recipe and get to baking.

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.

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.
