My Quarantine Experience ​

Quarantine is cool and all but I like going outside too.

My Quarantine Experience ​

Since Kansas City, Missouri has issued a stay-at-home warning due to COVID-19, I have been in my house for 14 days in a row and counting. Now I am not to fond of sitting around and doing nothing, so here is all I have accomplished during my time of isolation.

Over spring break-or anytime really-I played video games with my friends. There is a particular one called Fortnite. You may have heard of it, but I have played it for 15 nights in a row with my friends since we can't hangout in person. This game allows us to communicate with one another with our headsets all while playing the game and having fun. Speaking of technology, I have been in contact with my church and small group friends through FaceTime and Google apps.

Summer body? I think its time to get one. While being inside my home, I have been working out like crazy. My workout routine is as follows: 100 push-ups, 60 Russian twists (30 on each side) , 45 second plank x3 while dipping my hips side to side and if the weather permits, I will do a three mile walk and lay outside to tan for 30 minutes. I am prepared to have my summer body by the end of April , assuming I can go outside this summer.

Call me chef because I have been cooking up a storm of food during this time. I have become a grill master in my home. I can fix up burgers, brats: the standard cookout food. I have also become a cook too. Though I only make cookies and brownies, It is far better than cooking nothing at all.

While quarantine may not be over yet, I must enjoy everyday and do nothing more than that. It is difficult not having social interaction in person, but I will happily take a phone call over no call at all. Until I can go outside again, I will be doing my workouts and grilling burgers.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
