During these insane times, we all have to find ways to stay sane while staying in. Although being stuck at home because of a pandemic isn't ideal, it does provide for a lot of time to do things for yourself! If you haven't been staying home and continue to galavant around town, please stay home, and maybe this list can give you some inspiration!

1. Rewatch Gossip Girl

One of the greatest love stories of all time, Chuck and Blair. This quarantine has provided ample time to rewatch the entire Gossip Girl series, and allow you to fall in love with them all over again. If you never watched Gossip Girl originally, then I am fiercely envious of you, because now you can experience it for the first time in such a way that really allows you to soak in the fabulousness of the show.

2. Learn to cook

So obviously this isn't something I will be learning to do during this self-isolation, however I have seen tons of influencers on Insta learning how to cook now. I tried to cook something the other day, and it ended in tears and some super burnt food. Cooking isn't for everyone, but if you're good at cooking, then it's a great skill to have under your belt!

3. Go through your old school yearbooks

Going through your old yearbooks is hilarious because you can see how much people have changed, or how they've stayed entirely the same. Bonus points if you start cyber-stalking old classmates and they now have a kid. (or multiple) Doing this also helps you selfishly feel better about yourself because you realize there are some people who will literally never leave your little hometown and at least your out here doing something!

4. Rearrange your space

Rearranging your space is a fun way to change the vibe of the room and it's genuinely just fun. You don't even need to buy anything new to redesign, there are tons of ways to display the pieces you already have! Doing this makes you feel like your on your own episode of an HGTV show, 10/10 would recommend!

5. Write a letter to someone

Write a letter to your grandparents, high school friends, an old teacher, it doesn't matter! Handwriting someone a letter is a lost art, and it will really make the person receiving it so happy, because they know you took extra time to think about them and do this!

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.
