Even though I was able to save a LOT of money in April with all my hobby (read: non-essential businesses) being closed, there inner consumer in me still had to treat myself to these few items to help time move faster while sheltering-in-place.

My skin has been a hot mess during quarantine, specifically in the last month. Even though I'm yet to find the cause, I impulsively purchased this and I was found that it was able to provide a bit of clarity to my skin - especially in my t-zone, as I wait for the acne to fade.

Candle

I've read a candle hack that can help with work-life balance. Everyday, when starting your work day, light a candle, then blow it out at 5 or whever your day ends as a ritual to mark the end of day - which can alter your mindset. While I don't personally use this hack, and leave my candles burning all day long I still find that they help me relax and bring a sense of hygge into my home.

Another impulse buy, and a needless one at that, given that I'm not sure the next time I will have a reason to dress up to go out...but this cheap buy makes me hopeful and excited for not only the warmer weather, but also makes me look forward to the days I can wear it out!

Chess

Even though I've lost about 30 games to my two wins against my boyfriend, who I am sheltering-in-place with, this game is a still a good way to pass time (fun is used relatively here). If anything, at the end of quarantine, I can come out a better chess player and logical thinker.

Soon App

I've done a seperate article on apps that are helping me kill time and stay productive during quaratine, but I more-recently discovered this one as well! On this app, the user can make lists of games to play, movies to watch, shows & podcasts to listen to, books to read...but also, resturants, places, bars, cafes, & stores to go! My post-quarantine bucket list is filling up as we speak!

I have binged nine shows since quarantine started, but this for sure has been my favorite. So much so, that I needed to know how it ended and sped-read the book between episodes. Available with a Hulu subscription, this show is amazing, and (in my opinion) preferable to the book! Which I never say... so take my word for it!

If you've already read & watched it and need more female/Reese Witherspoon lead mystery, as I did, Big Little Lies gets an honorable mention too! I had the book laying around, as was watching the show alongside reading it.

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.
