7 Things To Do During Quarantine



Here are 7 fun and productive things to do while in Quarantine.

1. Take A Class On Skillshare 

Whether you want to bump up your writing skills or become a painter, skillshare is a great online platform for learning. You can get a premium membership for 2 months free, or get basic, which still has access to many professional classes. 

2. Make Ice Cream

Making ice cream can be quite simple, even if you do not have an ice cream machine. All you need is some vanilla, milk, sugar, salt, and ice. Simply put the vanilla, milk, and sugar into a small ziplock bag. Then, in a bigger bag, fill halfway with ice and put a bit of salt on the ice. Then put the small bag into the bigger one and shake for 5 minutes. There you have it- delicious ice cream!

3. Take A Walk or Bike

Even though you have to stay 2 or more meters away from others, you can still take walks or bike outside. In my opinion, fresh air is one of the best things you can give yourself. I always take a walk in the morning and I bike in the afternoon. I encourage you to do that as well.

4. Write A Diary, Blog, or Novel

If you sit down for just 10 minutes a day and write, you may be surprised. Writing gets your creative juices flowing, and can also be relaxing. Whether you are writing a blog, a diary, or a novel, you can find that writing will be very beneficial for you. 

5. Put Together A Puzzle 

Putting together a puzzle is both fun and satisfying once you are finished. 

6. Listen To Music

Listening to different types of music can boost your mood in different ways. You can sing and dance to the music you listen to as well!

7. Be Grateful

Lastly, remember to be grateful. Even though this pandemic is surely not anything to be grateful for, think of the great things that have happened when you stayed home. Maybe you have developed a better relationship with your family members. Maybe you have started a new hobby, and have time to practice it. Try to find something positive about your time in Quarantine.

Climate Action

Like my past self, you probably don't care much about battling climate change. Yes, you think it's scary that it's happening, but the world will come to an end soon and any small actions that I take aren't going to help in the long run. Well, more is in your control than you realized. As of this year, we have 11 years left before climate change is irreversible. I heard about this through a peer's research project, and decided to do my own research on it as well.  What I learned was astounding. I'd always been sad about how climate change is happening, but I really didn't realize how much I could do to stop it-- and how it actually will make a difference.  It doesn't take a lot for you to do your part in climate action. I've accumulated a list of steps that you can take to help save the earth.  1.  Use Less Plastic               You've probably heard about this one a few times. But what can you actually do to help limit your usage of plastic? You&

Taylor Swift Album Reviews - Red

Image
Hello! Today I'll be reviewing Taylor Swift's 4th album, Red . This album is in bottom 3 in my ranking of her album, but I still find it to be a masterpiece. It starts out very strong, then strays a bit in the middle, ending strongly again.  State of Grace - Love this song, and I think it's a great opener to the album! I like the change in pace of the second verse the best. Red - One of my favorite title tracks, this song delivers in so many ways! It's definitely the country-pop feeling the album was going for. Treacherous - I don't really understand its placing on the album, but this song is really powerful! I think of it as a toned down version of All Too Well . The beginning is a bit slow to me, but once you get to the chorus it's beautiful :) I Knew You Were Trouble - This is one of my least favorite songs from Taylor, but it might be because of how overplayed it is. The only notable part of it would be the bridge. All Too Well - This is one of those songs t

Post-Nano Writer's Block!

NaNoWriMo ended more than 2 weeks ago, and I have the dreaded post-nano writer's block. In the last two weeks, I have written exactly 343 words in my project. If you've ever had a challenge like this where you've speed-written and then had a hangover of sorts, I hope you find this advice helpful. I'm going through this right now, so my guess on this advice is as good as yours. However, these tricks have been helping me in the past few days!  Don't Stop Writing, But Don't Write Too Much Taking a 3-day break from December 1-3 was probably the worst mistake I could've made in my writing month. Getting out of that habit was such a terrible step for me. You heard me right- don't take a break after your writing challenge. But you do deserve a break, after all. So what will you do?  Something that's been helping me in the last few days is to just challenge myself to write 500 words a day, focusing on making those the best words they can be. This could be
