5 Things You Can Do For Your Professional Development During Quarantine

In This Article:

If you're unable to work from home, like me, and the semester's end is right around the corner here are a few ideas I thought I'd share with you to help build your skill set while at home!

Learn to code.

There are countless opportunities to learn some basic coding languages! Codeacademy, W3schools, and even Linkedin Learning are just some ways to get you started!

Brush up your digital brand!

Have you ever googled yourself? Your digital identity can make or break your job prospects! Make sure all your social media profiles are appropriate or hidden, create a Linkedin if you don't have one, and take control of what people can find out about you via a quick Google search (looking at you, tinder match)!

Linkedin Learning

Linkedin Learning is a platform that has a large variety of courses that will help you with everything from learning how to draw to coding. A lot of universities offer it for free so reach out to your Career Center.

Learn a new language.

Websites like Duolingo and Babbel are available to get you started. Also check out TED's 7 Secrets on How To Learn A New Language.

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.

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.
