COVID-19 Quarantine Activities

Safe to say with the current events, we are going to be spending more time at home with ourselves. Whether you’ll be working from home, suffering the loss of cancelled vacations, or drinking at home alone as opposed to your favorite watering hole; there’s only so much time you can spend at home alone before absolutely losing you’re fucking mind. That being said, here is a preliminary list of things to do while in quarantine for the COVID-19.

1. CALL YOUR LOVED ONES

People are panicking; call your mom, dad, grandma, anyone! Hearing from you will help ease their stress surrounding the outbreak, and yours as well. Maybe you can help your elderly friends/family situate themselves to be more comfortable while also staying safe and away from any ignorant 20 somethings picking up cheap flights so they can spread it to any vulnerable populations once their sunburned asses are off that plane. Check in with your loved ones to check up on them and catch up. This will at least validate that Facebook portal purchase for the next two weeks.

2. Do something artistic

Paint something, do some yoga, mess around on the guitar your dad had back in college that’s been collecting dust in the basement. Write some slam poetry about the upcoming apocal... I mean presidential election. Whetever it is you might as well start it.

3. Pick a fight with your significant other for no reason

Why not? You know you do it when you’re bored worldwide epidemic or not, you might as well entertain yourself with arguing about that thing that pissed you off a year ago.

4. Binge all The Star Wars movies in chronological order

Because why does it make sense to start a story in the middle? Hear me out, the fact that the Star Wars movies are out of order is obnoxious. It bothers me to no end, and I will not mention the terrible Hayden Christensen Star Wars era (thank god for Natalie Portman). Maybe I’m an individual of low intellect but I know I need to watch things in order to understand a storyline correctly.

5. Clean your space from top to bottom

Or cry over your cancelled spring break plans? either one

6. Have a lock in

Listen, I get that you wanna go drink with your friends until you’re foaming at the mouth. A way you can still get crunk with your pals while also being responsible is to have a lock in. Basically you and all your close (healthy/not infected) friends lock yourselves into someone’s sterilized house and have a case race in your pjs. It’s a win-win, and you won’t have to handle unsanitary bills or public bathrooms. Also no drunk driving so there you go.

7. Buy some stocks

Have you seen the stock market? If you can spare the money, now is not a bad time to get into stocks. Also if you know nothing about investments or stocks you now have extra time to read up about it.

8. Build a TP fort?

I mean why else would you need that much in your home?

9. Complete all your online courses for the semester

Let’s be honest, no student in the history of ever has ever refrained from procrastinating. Maybe if you reach that level of boredom you can work on all your courses since your school went online for the rest of the semester. 🤷🏼‍♀️

10. Harry Potter Marathon

This is a superb idea with or without an international health crisis.

11. Start that book

You don’t want all the time and effort you spent becoming literate to go to waste!

12. Start writing articles no one will most likely read

Like me :)

13. Throw out your expired makeup

Or wash your bras? Sometimes we need some reminders.

14. Rinse and repeat

Basically, keep your head down. Protect yourself and those around you who may be vulnerable to catching the virus. Our grandparents got drafted into a war zone, you can be unselfish and sit your happy ass down at home for a couple weeks.
