5 Things To Do While Quarantined In College

Many of us right now are in the same position: stuck at college while doing online classes. Things can get boring very easily, so I made a list of 5 things my friends and I came up with to help pass time!

Find Your Old Video Games

Maybe it's time to finally complete that Super Mario Galaxy game from your childhood. Digging out your Wii, DS or any other game console from your childhood can bring so much entertainment and nostalgia for you and your friends! It's the perfect quarantine activity while being stuck in your college dorm or apartment. Most gaming consoles have multiplayer features so you can play with a group.

Start A New Crafting Hobby

You can come out of quarantine with really awesome painting or crafting skills. In your spare time, working on crafts or painting can not only be super relaxing but can also get your brain energized for additional classes.

Begin A Home Workout Routine

Starting a regular workout routine can help improve your mental health and overall wellness. Setting aside some time each evening to be a bit active can help you feel energized from your day!

Explore The Nearby Park Or Forest

Getting out by yourself to sightsee your campus' nearby park or trail is a great idea to be socially distant and also get our for a bit. The wilderness can be so relaxing and peaceful in contrast to a crowded campus.

Journal

Journaling is an excellent way to get your thoughts out onto paper.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
