In This Article:

I have missed so much in my life by being quarantined; however, I know it has been for the best.

I miss the routine, the structure. I miss walking to class and seeing the faces of people I do not know. I miss the socialization. I miss going out with friends and being around people, making memories, especially in the college scene. But it has also brought closer bonds to family members and being welcomed back into my community arms from a distance of course.

Friendships have healed and new movements have been made in order for us to survive this quarantine.

1. Making a list

This list is not just any list, it is a list that reminds you about how much you have to be grateful for. You make two columns, and you list on each side what you miss during this quarantine, and what you have today. It has really reminded me of everything I have to be grateful for, such as having my health and my job still.

2. Running

I am a huge hater of running, I am the worst at cardio and am more of a lifter. But during this quarantine, I have learned to appreciate running outdoors and enjoying nature while at it.

3. Decluttering

I have decluttered so much of my room at home, and it has made me able to breathe in a way. I have enjoyed organizing my life and it has even improved my mental health by doing so.

4. Water Goals

I have made it a habit of mine to try to drink a lot more water than I normally used too, and I have personally noticed a huge difference in my metabolism, my skin, and my energy levels!

5. Engaging with the word//Reading

I recently bought a bible study guide to feel more connected to my faith, especially with church being virtual. As well, I use to be a huge avid reader but with the world being hectic along with my daily life I haven't been as big as a book worm as I use to be.. but now with quarantine, I have been able to re-pick up my favorite books.

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.
