Things To Do While Under Quarantine

Everyone has been affected by Covid-19. For some, it means they are unable to work or go out and do what they normally would. It can get a little boring at times. But I believe there's something we could all do in our lives to stay busy and forget about everything going on for a while.

1. Deep clean your home.

JeShoots

Scrub the corners, dust fan blades, throw out/donate unnecessary belongings, and of course disinfect your surfaces.

2. Finish a book/TV series.

Freestocks

Now is the time to finally finish a series you love (without even procrastinating)!

3. Call your family and friends.

Taylor Grote

A phone call can do wonders for someone, especially if they live alone. Reaching out can make all the difference in the world.

4. Have a (safe) game night.

NCI

I'd recommend only having those who live with you join, or you could even do games online!

5. Enjoy some self-reflection time.

Ava Sol

Start a journal if you haven't already and record what days are like for you, how you're feeling, and what has changed. It will be a great thing to have to look back on.

6. Start learning a new language.

Syed Hussaini

Fluency in a foreign language is an incredible skill. You can find hundreds of resources online at your disposal.

7. Spend time on your hobbies.

Avi Naim

Do you like to write? Knit? Play an instrument? You have lots of time now to actually practice those hobbies!

There's so much to do out there. Whether the world is under quarantine or not, I hope you find time for these things in your 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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
