Keeping Yourself Occupied During The Pandemic

Being stuck inside all the time doesn't have to be the end of the world.

The coronavirus has forced us all to stay home and away from friends and family. Obviously, the whole. situation sucks but we are doing what is best for our healthcare workers and those at high risk. Now if you're like me, you are starting to go a little insane and the boredom is killing you. Here's a couple things I've done during quarantine to keep myself sane and productive.

1. Catch up in school

Senior year was kicking my butt. I had no motivation to do any homework or catch up in classes I was behind in. I took one Saturday and worked all day and I was able to catch up in everything I was behind in.

2. Deep clean your room

My room was a disaster. I couldn't see my floor and I had no idea where anything I needed was. Deep cleaning took me a few days but eventually I got it done.

3. Try a new workout routine

With the gyms being closed, I needed to figure out a way to stay active. I found some of Chloe Ting's workouts and I personally love them. I have also been trying to walk at least a mile everyday with my neighbor (from 6 feet apart of course).

4. Binge watch a new TV show

I just started All American two days ago and I am obsessed. It is the perfect thing for me to do at night when I'm done with all my school work and want to relax. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it yet.

5. Clean your car

When I'm actually in school, I do not have a lot of motivation to get things done. The inside of my car seems to fill up with trash pretty quickly and the outside of my car is covered in green from the pollen falling. It was pleasant to see my car clean and not having it filled up with trash.

Everyone is struggling during this tough time. This pandemic is terrifying and we do not know when it will end. I am trying to better myself and find things to do that will either make my life less stressful or my life more exciting.

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.
