12 Things To Do During Quarantine, Besides Watching Netflix, That Still Allow You To Social Distance

For me, it's week three of social distancing and TBH, I had to look that up because all of my days have blended together. And I'm most likely not the only one who is feeling that way.

If you are in the same position as I am currently in, you probably have gotten to the point that you feel like you have literally watched EVERYTHING there is to watch on Netflix and are now looking to go something else (let's be honest, you've probably watched that some show or movie at least 100 times now).

A lot of people are going crazy at home, and this seems to only be the beginning of our unwanted staycations, so here's a list of 12 things to do during quarantine, that will still allow you to social distance.

Put together a puzzle (or two)

See on Instagram

Especially one of those puzzles that has more than 100 pieces. It can be fun and takes a few hours (or days to do), then once you've finished it you'll more than likely have a sense of accomplishment.

Play board games

What better way to bring the family together?

Clean the house

Get some of that Spring (or deep) cleaning done around the house.

Read

Reading a good book never hurt. If you don't want to physically read a book then theres always the option of audio books.

Quarantine Photoshoots

Yes, I'll be honest, I just wanted an excuse to use one of the pics I took this past Monday with my cousin. That being said, I still think taking pics are a fun thing to do and at the very least it can get you and your photog outside for a bit.

Sit or play outside

Sometimes a change or scenery is all you need.

Cook or bake something new

Draw or paint (or write)

Not only is it fun, but relaxing and therapeutic as well.

FaceTime (or Zoom) with friends and family

Just one of the ways to feel less alone.

Do an at home workout

Get a head start on that summer body, because what else is there to do? Believe me when I say, not only are there plenty of apps for the phone, but also tons of online videos too.

Learn a new skill

Ever wanted to learn something but not had the time? Nows the chance. Maybe it's a new language or maybe how to draw.

Make a Tik Tok of your own

Have you ever wanted to make a Tik Tok but not had the time? Well, now is the perfect time to hone in your video and creativity skills.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
