5 Things You Can Do To Fill Quarantine

With a government-mandated quarantine taking hold over most of us reading this, boredom has become a common feeling for most people, as the lack of places to go to and the absence of any friends to hang out with ahs left most of use at home. So for all of us who suddenly have an unfortunately large amount of free time, read the article to figure out some ways to pass the time more bearably.

Ever wanted to learn how to play music, but always convinced yourself that you didn't have the time to? Well now you do, so pick up an instrument that you've always wanted to try, and get to it. Start searching up tutorials and lessons (There's an app for basically every instrument these days), and you might even impress yourself with how much you're able to learn.

It's a pretty fun skill, and one that you can enjoy immediately. With most people not going to fast food restaurants these days, they have a large lack in their normal variety. Spend some time figuring out some new recipes that you might love, and learning a skill you will most certainly need in the future.

It's hard and it takes a massive amount of practice. In other words, it's the perfect challenge for this period in time. This is basically exercises that you use your bodyweight for, and not weights. This makes it much more accessible that other type of exercise as you can do a lot of the exercises at your home.

Spring cleaning takes on a larger meaning now. Clear up your house or apartment with the time that you now have at your disposal. Having a neat-looking home is proven to raise the moral of a person, so start making the place around you look nicer in order to feel nicer.

I don't judge, I do it too. Happens to the best of us. Get your blanket, a wifi connection, and some ice cream and let your brain just go to mush for a bit.

Take the time that you've been given, even if you never asked for it, and use it to further yourself in the long run. Whether by relaxing or by using the time to further a skill that you have, make sure that you come out better for it!

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.

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.
