20 Activities To Cure Your Quarantine Boredom

Quarantine has got us all bored out of our minds. We've all been binging Netflix and stuffing ourselves with our favorite snacks, but these activities are sure to spice up your quarantine life.

1. Have a (virtual) movie night. 

Movie nights are always fun. Turn down the lights and gather whoever you quarantined with or facetime your friends. Bring our your favorite snacks and have a good time.

2. Do some deep cleaning.

There's probably something that needs to cleaned, a closet or your entire room. Whatever it is, now is a great time to tidy up your space.

3. Have a Zoom party with your friends. 

Just because we're practicing social distancing, does not mean that we have to stop socializing. Stay close with your family and friends.

4. Take up a new hobby that you didn't have time for before. 

Now is the perfect time to start a new hobby that you have always wanted to, but have never had the time for. I've been really enjoying writing and cross-stitching.

5. Cook or bake, or learn how to.

Cooking, especially with your mom, can be super fun and a nice way to pick up a new skill.

6. Read all the books on your TBR list. 

As a book lover, I finally have the time to read all the books I've been wanting to.

7. Write a novel.

For those of you who been wanting to start that novel, now's the perfect chance.

8. Make a quarantine documentary (preferably in The Office style).

Filming your family can be super funny and entertaining.

9. Take a Masterclass or any other class online in something you find interesting.

Now's the best time to learn about something that you are actually interested in.

10. Have a photoshoot.

Getting dressed and having a photoshoot is a great way to break up your quarantine boredom and look cute!

11. Have a spa day.

We're all in a need of a little TLC. Do a face mask, take a bath, do your nails and just relax.

12. Start a journal.

Journaling is a great way of relaxing and reflecting on your day. It is a great form of self-care and can be fun to look back on later.

13. Make an amazing quarantine playlist. 

I love making playlists for different things and building them around a certain mood. Now's the best time to discover some new music.

14. Stay fit. 

Exercising from home is a great way to stay active despite not being able to go to the gym. There are a bunch of Youtube videos for at-home workouts that do not require any equipment.

15. Learn a TikTok dance, or several.

TikTok is super addictive and fun. You can easily spend hours scrolling on the app.

16. Play some board games with whoever you're quarantined with. 

I used to love board games as a child. Board games are a great way to spend time in quarantine, but they can get very competitive.

17. Take a virtual tour of a museum. 

Many museums are offering virtual tours and online exhibits that are very interesting and can be a fun way to expand your knowledge,

18. Do something artsy. 

Whether it be painting or drawing, now is the perfect time to let that inspiration flow.

19. Write a letter to someone or to your future/past self.

Letter-writing is an art that we should definitely bring back and now is the perfect time.

20. Take care of your mental health. 

Taking care of your mental health is especially important during this challenging time. Remember to stay safe and to take care of yourself.

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.
