8 Ways Quarantine Has Turned Me Into Disney's Rapunzel

In This Article:

As of this week, I have been officially quarantined for one month. I say officially because, well, I'm Latina, which means I've been in quarantine my whole life, really. And while one month compared to my prior Rapunzel-esque existence might not seem like much, it's definitely starting to get to me. So much so that I have actually made a Rapunzel costume to wear around the house. Again, being Latina means that I am also incredibly overdramatic. Aside from my new dressmaking skills, I've also managed to pick up a few new hobbies to pass the time while I wait for "my life to begin" (anew).

1. Talking to my mother nonstop

Gifer

I'm sure my mother wants me to go back to school more than I do at this point. But really, mother does know best.

2. Interior design

Tenor

I have taken it upon myself to redecorate every space I inhabit. I made myself an office and even tried to take apart my loft bed on my own. (Yeah, that didn't go as planned.)

3. So. Much. Cleaning.

Giphy

I don't know if this counts as a hobby, but somehow my mother is constantly finding new things for me to clean in our house.

4. Relearning the guitar

Giphy

I found it difficult to bring my guitar to college with me, so I've gotten a bit rusty as a result. But with all this time on my hands and a mute option on my Zoom courses, I'll pick it back up in no time!

5. The occasional existential crisis

Giphy

Is it such a great idea to watch so many disaster and apocalypse movies right now? Probably not. Am I going to keep watching all the disaster and apocalypse movies? Probably.

6. Becoming a Disney seamstress

Tenor

I have successfully made a Snow White dress and a Rapunzel dress. Let me tell you, quarantine walks are made all the more enjoyable when you're dressed as a Disney princess. (Cinderella's dress is next.)

7. Taking many naps

Giphy

Look, for some reason, Zoom University is a lot more tiring than actual university.

8. Becoming a hairstylist

Giphy

Before the quarantine, I promised myself I was going to grow out my hair...fast forward to quarantine time where I'm filled with the confidence of one (1) YouTube video, and I decide to chop off all my hair.

I mean, if Rapunzel could survive 18 years in quarantine, then I can survive another month...right?

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
