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.
