The possibility of being quarantined has existed since COVID-19 appeared.

Even though cases are going down, and everything seems to be going back to normal, the possibility of being quarantined still exists. To avoid boredom, here is a list of things you could do at home during quarantine. 

Before getting into your comfort zone, remember to check Schoology (or TEAMS if your teacher uses it instead of Schoology) and do all the work available. This will benefit you when going back to school because you will not have a pile of missing work.  

Knowing this, let’s get into the funny and relaxing stuff. 

• Self-Care Day: Take a day for yourself. Put on a face mask, do your nails, and take a long and relaxing bath while drinking a smoothie and listening to your favorite playlist. Eat as many chocolate bars as you want, and do not worry about anything.

• Discover new hobbies: Hobbies are a wonderful way to spend time while learning something new. Some interesting hobbies include origami, photography, dancing, writing, singing, quilting, knitting, cooking, and gardening.   

• Create content: Social media is always a great resource to get distracted. You can post pictures, phrases, videos, or even a writing sample. Get involved outside your house without leaving it.  

• Clean your closet: A productive way to spend a tough time is by helping others in their difficult times. Check your closet for clothes you do not wear to donate when you get out of quarantine. This will put a smile on many strangers’ faces.
