With all classes being put online due to coronavirus and many students being forced to move back home, we've all just lost a major sense of freedom. Not to mention we lost the structure of being on campus for classes. And while we may be quarantined with our families who are destined to drive us mad, it's not a totally negative thing. Here are five perks I have already noticed since being at home.

1. Hanging out with your pets

Many of us had to say goodbye to our pets when we moved away to school, now you have unlimited access to them.

2. Home cooked meals and not having to pay for your own food

Everything tastes better when you don't have to pay for it or when it's cooked by mom (love you mom). By the way, yes, this is spaghetti in the form of a cake.

3. Family time

I miss my siblings like crazy when I'm gone, but I know this isn't the case for everyone.

4. Being back in your own room

Your bed at home is always more comfortable than your bed at school (you know I'm not wrong)

5. Seeing hometown friends more often, despite the plea for social distance

Josie Murray

It's hard to move away from friends and not see them as often. I don't know about you, but I've been out of the house almost every day seeing friends that I don't go to school with anymore. The photo above is a picture of my friend with her dog at Hanging Rock State Park.

I know moving back home has been a major upset for all of us, and the seniors have had it the worst by far. But we have to look for a bright side in every bad situation.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
