With roughly two months of 2020 left, it is safe to say that there is no clear end in sight when it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the weather begins to get colder, we will once again find ourselves spending more time inside. With that being said, if you're searching for purchases to refresh your quarantine space and help keep things interesting, look no further.

New Bedding

I don't know about anyone else, but I spent quite a bit of time in my bed watching Netflix back in March and April. A few months later, I was moving into a new apartment and decided to buy new sheets, new pillows, and even a new mattress. Though you don't need all of the above to help refresh your bedroom style in quarantine, consider buying a new duvet or comforter in a fun color to brighten your room and brighten your mood.

Plants

If you don't have the space for an all-out garden, I would highly recommend buying some flowers or succulents to place around your home. Plants are such a low maintenance addition to your space, but a pop of greenery here and there will surely lift your spirits and keep your home looking fresh.

If you're planning to spend your time at home within these winter months, make sure to allow for some time to be spent in the kitchen. If you don't already have one, I recommend purchasing a crockpot for this next round of quarantine. There are plenty of delicious recipes that can be made with a crockpot, and the aromas will give your home a very cozy feeling. If a crockpot isn't your cup of tea, I would recommend purchasing an air fryer. With an air fryer, you can cook many healthy alternatives to your favorite snacks and meals, leaving you with little cleanup and a full stomach.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
