Things To Do While Social-Distancing

Believe me, I don't like self-distancing anymore than you do but it's important to stay healthy and happy during this pandemic. Being away from your friends, work, school, or even family can be tough on our psychological health. It is important to remember to still do things that make us happy, even though we are having a health crisis.


Paint, Get Creative

I know that painting may not be everyones forté, but it has been proven that being creative is a real stress reliever. For me, painting and drawing have always been my go-to when I am stressed about something, or just want to get my mind off of things. Being creative is a good way to get out of your comfort zone and be stress free.

Exercise

I would't recommend going to the gym during this time, but you can do almost any workout from home. It is important for you not to let your physical health, as well as your mental health, deteriorate. You can also go walking around your neighborhood. Being physically active is always important.

Get Outside

When officials say to distance yourself from others, they don't mean you can't go outside. It is actually important to get some fresh air every once in a while. Walking your dog, washing your car, or even gardening can be a good reason to get out of your house. It isn't healthy to say cooped up in your home for a long period of time, we should all find reasons to get outside.

Catch Up On TV

This time is a better time than any to get caught up on your favorite TV show. I've already started binge watching some new TV shows on Netflix i've been meaning to watch because I never had the time. Netflix also now has "Netflix Party" where you can watch the same thing as your friends at the same time. It is a good way to stay connected with your friends.

Stay Connected

During this time, we must not forget about our friends and family. Be sure to still communicate with those you care about. make sure they are mentally and physically in a good place. Also be sure to check up on your grandparents, it's always important to show love to those who are also affected by the scare of the Coronavirus. Staying connected is a good way to make sure no one feels alone.

These may not be a lot, but I hope I have inspired people to make sure they are physically and mentally in a good place. Together, if we practice social distancing, we can conquer this malicious virus and soon be back to normal.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
