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

Giphy

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

Giphy

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!

For an organization that literally unites the nations, it amazes me how little is taught about the United Nations in schools, or at least where I went to school. It wasn't until I went to college and got a higher education that I learned the basics of the United Nations. I believe that every American should know at least the basics of what the United Nations does, especially since our country is one of the 5 permanent members, and what better day to do that than United Nations Day (today!). So here are the main "organs" of the United Nations:

The traditions of Halloween have come a long way from their ancient origins. Originating around 2,000 years ago, a tradition known as "All Hollows' Eve" began at the end of the harvest season. The ancient Celts would dress in costumes and light a bonfire to ward off evil spirits. Back then, with the cold brought death, and it was a way they believed to keep them safe.
