5 Things To Do As Soon As Quarantine Is Over

In This Article:

I know that there are millions of us who are struggling during quarantine, and for me, the only way I've been getting through it is with a LOT of FaceTime with friends and looking forward to being able to do everyday things that we have to avoid during lockdown. So I've compiled a list of the things I'm looking forward to most, and hopefully you can read this and not feel sad because you can't do them, but hopeful for the day to come that we all can!

Go to the beach

I'm from California so this hits really hard for me, especially since my semester is over, and all I wanna do -- since it's technically summer -- is go relax on the beach! I'm stoked for it to be fully opened again, because I'll be out there the first day it is!

Hang out with friends

This one is SO tough because my friends are everything to me, and not being able to see them is what's making time most difficult for me. I've kept myself busy by talking over FaceTime or even Zoom with my friends and making plans for all of us once we get to see each other again.

Travel

This one has also been hard for me because I was abroad in Italy this past semester, and we were sent home during our spring break. Everyone lost out on the opportunity of 2 more months of travel and living in our home countries, which was heartbreaking, especially for those who had been looking forward to going abroad since they started college, only for it to be cut short halfway through. But I know that once this has passed, I'll be traveling and making up for lost time!

In-store shopping

As much as I love online shopping, I know that I'm not the only one who likes being able to go to new stores and try things on. Plus, when shopping at a new store, It can be really difficult to guess your size online and not have to return most of your items! I for one will be sprinting to the mall once it opens, because online shopping can never replace the fun of going to the mall!

Go to school

Now I know that some colleges and universities have announced that they are closed for the fall and will only be operational online, which is going to be hard on students and incoming freshman. I feel for you all. But I know that I'm looking forward to the day I'll be able to go to class in person and see my friends at school, whether it's in August or next January.

Let's not lose hope, just stay home and stay healthy until stay-at-home orders are lifted, but remain cautious! This will all be a memory soon enough!

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.
