Never did I ever think I'd be tired of watching Netflix on my couch.

5 Things I Miss About Going Out In Public

In This Article:

Another day of staying at home due to the pandemic, another day of missing all my favorite things out in the real world. I am very thankful that I have a home to be able to ride this out in, however, I am so tired of ordering to-go food or getting food delivered to my home. I want to go out in public, I want to go to the store, I want to see my friends and not just over Zoom calls.

So here are some things I am missing the most from when life was normal. (B.C.) (before corona)

1. I miss going out to restaurants.

I miss going out for appetizers and drinks with all my friends! I want to put on some too tight jeans, sit in a crowded corner booth of a dimly light, over-priced restaurant and talk shit with all my besties. I can't wait for the first Happy Hour when life is back to normal. I never thought I'd say this, but I am sick of drinking wine at home alone, I need a trendy new place stat.

2. I miss going to the beach.

Like queen Nene Leakes is doing in this gif, I want to go to the beach and twerk with my friends. I miss being able to lay out on the sand with a margarita and just kick it with my homies. The minute all this craziness is over I am sprinting to the beach with my whole crew in tow.

3. I miss people watching.

Giphy

You can sit on a park bench, an outside table at a restaurant or literally anywhere in public and people-watch. I miss just seeing strangers pass me by while I'm imagining their lives. You can see some colorful characters depending on where you look, and its always interesting to see people so different than yourself. This sounds like a weird one but I promise it's not.

4. I miss my other family members.

Giphy

Myself, like most people, have been cooped up with their family, but not their extended family. Of course, I love my parents but I miss my nieces, my grandparents, cousins, and many other people. I miss being able to see my other family members whenever, wherever I wanted.

5. I miss life being normal.

Giphy

As if life is ever normal, but more normal than what it is today. I miss talking about things other than this virus. I miss being able to think about going on trips, or even making plans at all. Even though we have little human interaction in these times, any interaction I do get, Corona is always brought up. I just miss making small talk about the weather, traffic, world news, celebrities, literally anything other than Corona.

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
