8 Ways Quarantine Has Turned Me Into Disney's Rapunzel

In This Article:

As of this week, I have been officially quarantined for one month. I say officially because, well, I'm Latina, which means I've been in quarantine my whole life, really. And while one month compared to my prior Rapunzel-esque existence might not seem like much, it's definitely starting to get to me. So much so that I have actually made a Rapunzel costume to wear around the house. Again, being Latina means that I am also incredibly overdramatic. Aside from my new dressmaking skills, I've also managed to pick up a few new hobbies to pass the time while I wait for "my life to begin" (anew).

1. Talking to my mother nonstop

Gifer

I'm sure my mother wants me to go back to school more than I do at this point. But really, mother does know best.

2. Interior design

Tenor

I have taken it upon myself to redecorate every space I inhabit. I made myself an office and even tried to take apart my loft bed on my own. (Yeah, that didn't go as planned.)

3. So. Much. Cleaning.

Giphy

I don't know if this counts as a hobby, but somehow my mother is constantly finding new things for me to clean in our house.

4. Relearning the guitar

I found it difficult to bring my guitar to college with me, so I've gotten a bit rusty as a result. But with all this time on my hands and a mute option on my Zoom courses, I'll pick it back up in no time!

5. The occasional existential crisis

Is it such a great idea to watch so many disaster and apocalypse movies right now? Probably not. Am I going to keep watching all the disaster and apocalypse movies? Probably.

6. Becoming a Disney seamstress

Tenor

I have successfully made a Snow White dress and a Rapunzel dress. Let me tell you, quarantine walks are made all the more enjoyable when you're dressed as a Disney princess. (Cinderella's dress is next.)

7. Taking many naps

Look, for some reason, Zoom University is a lot more tiring than actual university.

8. Becoming a hairstylist

Before the quarantine, I promised myself I was going to grow out my hair...fast forward to quarantine time where I'm filled with the confidence of one (1) YouTube video, and I decide to chop off all my hair.

I mean, if Rapunzel could survive 18 years in quarantine, then I can survive another month...right?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
