With cabin fever driving us crazy, it's a nice thing to think about the good things to come. I asked 23 people the following question: "What's the first thing you're going to do once the quarantine is lifted?" Here are 23 of their responses:

1. Going on a long, long, long road trip to hike

Giphy

Cabin fever has really hit everyone hard, so spending some time outdoors can be therapeutic.

2. Visiting my grandmother and hug her

This is the reunion everyone's waiting for! It's been so scary having to distance ourselves from others, especially from loved ones and those who are more susceptible to the virus.

3. Going out to eat — I’m tired of cooking!

Giphy

I almost forgot what it's like to go to a restaurant.

4. Having sex

This is one way for quarantine to go out with a bang ;)

5. Going to the gym

Giphy

Mark my words: the gyms are going to be packed after the quarantine's been lifted. You can only feel so motivated when you're working out in the corner of your living room with your parents in the other room and with the view of your neighbor mowing his lawn out your window.

6. Getting my hair done

People are going to have to fight tooth and nail for their hair appointments as soon as we're all allowed to re-enter society.

7. Appreciating the little things we don’t know we missed — the subtle freedoms

We never realize how lucky we are to have something until we spend some time without that particular thing. Hopefully, this quarantine will make all of us a little more appreciative.

8. Getting on a plane and flying as far as humanly possible

Giphy

Especially after the travel ban, everyone is going to be hopping on a plane (or bus or train or scooter) to travel.

9. I’m male and I’m getting a pedicure

I feel this on so many levels; I cannot wait to treat myself again. (But remember: you can always treat yourself at home and give yourself your own mini manicure/pedicure!)

10. Deleting Zoom

I never thought I'd say this, but I actually miss physically going to class; online classes really are something else. (This response was mine, just in case you couldn't tell)

11. Going to the beach

Giphy

A nice, restful beach day sounds like something we all deserve right about now. Save a spot next to your beach towel for me, please!

12. Seeing my friends — road trips and brunch with them

Ah, yes. I forgot what socializing in person feels like. Virtual happy hours just aren't cutting it anymore.

13. Not remembering what happened the first night out

Giphy

This is definitely one way to celebrate the end of quarantine.

14. Going to see my dad that I haven’t been able to see

Nothing sounds better than spending time with close family and friends as soon as this all blows over.

15. Moving back to New York

Heading back to where you were before COVID (regardless of where you're from or where you were quarantining) is going to feel amazing.

16. Staying inside a bit longer just in case

Giphy

You know what they say: "It's better to be safe than sorry".

17. Going shopping

The day we finally walk through the doors of our local malls will be a good day for all.

18. Giving a big hug to my close friend who got engaged over quarantine!

Giphy

Forgetting about the quarantine and moving on with positivity to better days is all everyone needs right now.

19. Going to the movies

After weeks and weeks of watching Netflix on my laptop screen, it'll be nice to see a movie on the big screen with a huge bag of popcorn for a change.

20. Getting my eyebrows done

Giphy

My eyebrows have definitely seen better days.

21. Hitting Chick-Fil-A

Celebratory lunch? I think yes.

22. Apartment hunting

Giphy

Nothing says 'it's a new chapter of my life' like moving!

23. Hugging my boyfriend

We don't always realize it, but we really can take simple moments of physical touch for granted. Hugging someone you love and missed is going to feel indescribable.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
