I don’t know about you guys, but the whole having to stay inside thing has been driving me nuts, and it’s been very hard for me to not lose my ever-living mind. I’ve come up with a few things to district myself


“Let Go” Plates

During this time, we all have plenty of time to reflect on our lives, and things we’ve been through. Get a plate and a sharpie. Write down things you need to work on, fix, or any worries you may have on that plate. Then, go outside and smash that plate to represent you “letting go.” I did this with a friend of mine, and it was an amazing feeling


Cook

Food has always been on our minds during times of not doing anything. Find new recipes, and try new foods you never have before. This is the perfect time to do that! We have all the time in the world it feels like, so branch out!


Get into new music

I have seemed to get really tired of listening to the same music over and over every day for the last week, and I’m sure there’s more out there experiencing the same. So, find some new music to listen to! Maybe a genre you didn’t think you’d like, give it a try and I’m sure you’ll end up finding a new favorite song in the process!


Bible Study


Spending time in Gods word is so relaxing and can open your eyes as to what is happening in our world right now. Reading the bible and studying the Gospel will provide an outlet that won’t only distract you, but grow your relationship and faith in Christ.


Exercise


I know, the more you want to exercise, it seems as if you grow to not have enough time. But, there’s no classes, no hanging out with friends, no shopping, nothing. No excuses now! find a new workout routine to get you ready for the day this whole mess is over with.



At the end of the day, this isn’t a fun time to be a student. Try your best to remain positive! It is gonna be a while before the world around us feels normal again, but we will get through it. I promise you that!

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.
