How I've Been Staying Busy During Quarantine

Mostly everyone has been in quarantine for a while now. So it makes sense we get bored. I'm someone who is constantly doing something with school, work, or friends. Some days I don't know what to with myself.

I usually have a pretty structured schedule so being in quarantine has messed that up a bit. School was hard online but in a way, it was a distraction for me. It made me stay on schedule and it kept me busy. When school was in session, my day consisted of sleeping, working out, doing some things I love, and homework. Once it ended, I didn't know what to do.

I did what I'm used to and made a schedule for myself. Now I'm not going to lie and say I followed it every day but I tried to.

This quarantine made me go back to the hobbies I loved but never had the time to do. Every day I make sure to do something I really love but it doesn't stop there. I also decided to take an online class at my community college. It's only 5 weeks but it's still a lot of work and is keeping me busy. I also decided to participate in a certification program for my major.

I find staying busy during this uncertain time helps me a lot. Journaling and running is something I've always loved to do and the past few months allowed me to realize how much I loved and missed it. My days aren't as structured as I would like sometimes but that's the reality of this whole thing.

Some days I don't want to do anything and that's okay. On social media I keep seeing cliche phrases like "this is the time to find your side hustle or do something you love". This can be true but this is also the time where you need to take care of yourself too. Don't forget that.

The uncertainty of everything going on is scary but better days are coming and we will be so thankful when we can see our friends and family. I don't know about everybody else, but I am so excited to be able to hug my grandma again.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
