What You Can Do To Stay Sane During Quarantine

The country has started to shut down and people all over are learning social distancing, as well as staying at home. While many people are excited to stay at home, it can get pretty boring and routine. Now that there's a lot more time, it's the perfect opportunity to try something new! Here's what you can do during quarantine to stay sane.

Dalgona Coffee

This trend of making Dalgona coffee is one of the most popular activities to do right now. It's quick, easy, and delicious! This kind of coffee is a mix of instant coffee, sugar, and water whisked together to make a frothy consistency. The mixture is then poured into milk. Stir together and you have yourself a delicious beverage. The task to make this requires a lot of whisking, but once finished the drink feels very rewarding.

CLEAN!

If you haven't cleaned your room for some time, now is the time to do so. The virus stays on surfaces for quite some time, so disinfecting your place is key to make sure it's virus free. Even if you haven't been outside, why not just get rid of all the dust and gunk that's been sitting there? Cleaning can also help relieve any stress you may have, as all your energy goes into trying to perfect the cleanliness of your living space.

Fill Up A Notebook

Have a notebook, or journal, laying around? Well it's time to open it and fill it up! Sometimes it can be difficult to finish a notebook, but now can be the time to finish it in its entirety! Whether it's doodling, or writing, fill up the notebook as much as you can. Doodling on the page may be a lot easier, and helps to activate that creative mind. You never know what you'll end up filling your book with!

Deep Search on Amazon

Ever wondered what other products you could find on one of the biggest online shopping sites? Amazon carries so many items, that there's probably a lot more items you never thought you would find, let alone need! Go on a deep search to see what you can find and possibly put on your wishlist.

Times are difficult now, but it's important to stay positive and hope for the best. Stay safe and healthy!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
