19 Things I learned in Quarantine before I turned 19
19 Things I learned in Quarantine before I turned 19 As a college student starting her first year in college, I never realized what I was giving up everyday when I commuted to and from my school, completed tests and papers and talked with my friends. Up until mid-march, I had been stuck in a monotonous routine of waking up, barely eating breakfast and hurrying to college. However, my mundane life came to a halt as the lockdown started and I was forced to learn and prepare myself for the future from a computer. Here are some things that I realized while procrastinating on my assignments.

Develop a Creation Bias Now
Stop the endless consumption and start creating! Trust me you'll thank me for it! Constant distraction and information overload is the constant state we are all in. We consume and we consume more without hardly creating anything (well we are not counting the fort you created with empty beer cans!). We have an innate need to consume and hoard. Opening tab after tab of articles and news, mindlessly spending hour after hour.

Calama's Recipe for a Lazy Day
We all have those days where we wake up with no idea what do, or, even if we do, we have no inclination to do it. We don’t feel like going anywhere, and all projects, chores, or hobbies on our list suddenly seem either daunting or uninteresting and the only thing we can stomach at that point is a day of nothingness, because if we didn’t, just maybe our brains would explode, or our anxieties would skyrocket beyond recovery. Maybe it’s because we are lazy, or maybe it’s just because our brain and body are telling us to take a chill pill to calm the queasiness of our busy schedules and fast-paced lives.

Better Days
“In rebuilding a broken world, we will have the chance to choose a less hurried life.” – Dr. Alan Lightman I baked cookies! That’s right, for the first time in over seven years, I baked homemade chocolate chip cookies. I was a little nervous because baking has never been my strength in the kitchen (probably because I am not good at following directions). But, guess what?! They turned out great – so great, in fact, that I am afraid to try again in case this time was a fluke or beginner’s luck. Although, my opinion of their quality might be influenced by my recent abandonment of a sugar-free, gluten-free lifestyle.

Quintessentially Human
I’ve often wondered why it is in the evolution of mankind that, even when we arrive at a great solution to a problem or need, that we don’t just say that’s it, and settle for that? No, we fiddle, we change, we innovate. Nothing is ever static, like evolution itself, except that we innovate just a little quicker.

What Is Making Me Happy Right Now
Believe it or not, it's okay to be happy right now! Think about all the good that is happening in the world. The videos of recovered patients being applauded as they are discharged from the hospital. Making homemade masks. Car parades. People fostering homeless pets. Everyone is coming together to help one another, and it's amazing. I don't think I've ever seen so much unity among us before. We really are, as they say, "all in this together."
