Below are some things I've done to curve my boredom as I try my best to quarantine myself for my and other's health during this time.

Dororo

This Spring I was on and off binging the 2019 version of the anime Dororo. Its storyline was really interesting, as the main character, Hyakkimaru, having being born without limbs, hunts demons in order to take his body parts back, while traveling with his companion, Dororo. It can be pretty dark and sad, but Hyakkimaru has swords for arms and how could you not like that? If you're looking for a great adventure anime, I would highly recommend.

COD Mobile

Call of Duty Mobile just came out with the new Ranked Season 4, entering the month of April, adding a lot of new content to the game. I was disappointed at the start of the season, but since the new additions, the game has been way more fun. Currently, they've added in 2v2 showdown with randomized load-outs, added back Warfare mode to Battle Royale (which I'm very happy about), and lastly added a lot more time-limited, and much more obtainable, tasks for credits, weapons, and loot, and that can be gotten from leveling up in Ranked Matches. Overall, with these additions, I'm very pleased with how the game is playing out right now and look forward to what they do in the near future.

New Music

There has been a lot of new heavy music to come out this Spring ranging from Code Orange to Testament, Heaven Shall Burn, and Suicide Silence, there have been a lot of awaited albums published and a lot more to come, which gives you something nice to do while in quarantine. Code Orange, iconically at their record release show, live-streamed it to fans worldwide, as it was going to be closed to the public because of the COVID-19 virus, which was pretty cool. Other than that I've just been exploring more of heavy music in general, delving into more old school death metal and researching more about those that have pioneered heavy metal subgenres and built what heavy music is today., a good use of my free time.

Physical Health

With everything going on right now and taking necessary precautions to stay safe and protect those around me, I've focused a lot on my physical health. Right now until the end of the semester, I'm at a caloric deficit, or "cutting" as others call it, in order to not particularly lose weight, but lose excess fat. By being inside a lot more than I'm used to it is way easier to just sit around all day, but I have been doing a lot of at-home workouts in order to stay in shape. Also, with most places doing takeout now, it's easier to portion control my food and drink plenty of water so I stay hydrated throughout the day so I'm not so tired.

Keeping Connected

At this time, I've been keeping up more with friends and family, a lot more than usual as I'm not currently in a position to see them face to face on a regular basis. Social isolation makes it easy for people to feel lonely at times, but keeping up with people every week helps. Zoom has been great for this process, making it easy to call people at any time. It's times like these that I'm thankful for my and my family's good health.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
