Keeping Busy in Quarantine
Start writing a post

Finding things to do during a time of stay at home orders can be difficult. Anything from puzzles to reading a book you've been putting off to finally being able to binge a show you've been wanting to can occupy some of your time. In between these times of relaxation I suggest that people also find time to clean and reorganize their homes. One of the best ways I have found to do this is by following the Marie Kondo style of decluttering. Netflix made a whole series about the women who reinvented how to declutter fast and with the most efficiency, which you can find by searching her name. Her method: hold each item and see if it sparks joy in your life, if not then it is time to get rid of it.

There are many reasons to incorporated this into your quarantine routine. One being that after this pandemic passes you can try to help your community by donating all your items locally so it stays within your community who might not be able to afford expensive items after the loss of pay. Another is that each day you can tackle small projects in her format so that it does not feel so much like a chore but mini accomplishments each day you can tick off. This time were living in can be scary but finding ways to occupy your time while in quarantine or out of work that can benefit your community is something that will be very beneficial after this passes.

1. Why is Wilson Hall so complicated to navigate? Even as a senior, I still get lost in Wilson. As a freshman, I was warned about the unnecessary complexity of the building, was laughed at by upperclassman for my confused looks on the first day of school and walked and rewalked the whole hall before finding my classroom. #annoying.

Blair Waldorf For governor of new york

Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a Miranda from Sex and the City, is running for governor of New York. I think that this would be the best decision that has been made in a while solely based off of the fact that almost no one knows New York like the cast of Sex and the City. This got me thinking about who else would be a good candidate to take over the city of dreams. Then I realized that Blair Waldorf, if she were a real person, would be my number one choice for governor. Here are five reasons why Queen B would be an excellent ruler.

America's biggest party schools
Determining which schools are the biggest party schools is often subjective, but a some statistical factors you could use to make a judgement include (1) consumption, (2) drug usage, (3) strong greek life presence, (4) campus police records etc.

When a student at Auburn was recently asked, she explained: "These schools usually have, like, a super vibrant social scene, lots of Greek life (like my amazing sorority, duh!), and tons of exciting events happening all the time. I mean, we're talking about tailgates, themed parties, mixers with fraternities, and just, like, so much fun. But don't get me wrong, we still, like, study and go to class and all that. It's just that at a party school, the social life and having a good time are, like, major priorities for students."
