8 Things You Can Do During Quarantine

By: Casey Yang
Due to the virus, everyone is at home bored and probably has nothing to do. Check out the list below to see some things that you can do while quarantined at home. 


Netflix
This website has tons of movies and series so you won’t have a difficult time searching for something to watch. If you don’t like a certain genre, don’t worry, you have other genres that you can look through like comedy, action, thriller and many more. If you don’t want to pay to watch, you can also go to Soap2day.com or MyFlixer.com. These websites are totally free from ads and you’ll find literally anything on there. 


Cooking
Trying new recipes everyday will help you with your skills and will help you create your own tasty masterpieces someday. You can also be a little creative and explore with different kinds of foods. Go ahead and make something delicious! 


Cleaning
This doesn’t always have to be a boring chore (<--pun intended). You can make it fun by putting some music on and hyping yourself up. Or if your friends are over, you guys can make it fun by telling jokes or even telling a story while getting the house to shine. 

Drawing
Researchers say this actually helps to reduce stress and anxiety, and increase self-esteem. So drawing regularly is a good thing, even if you can’t draw or don’t know how to. You can look up some tutorials and once you have some basic skills, you can start drawing and be creative. 


Taking Pictures
Using common things around your house and your creativity will help develope the perfect picture. You can find some filters on different apps to make your picture look even more cool, visually aesthetic and however you like it to be. 


Explore The App Store/Play Store
More and more games are always being released and updated. You can find multiple types of games that you like in the app store of your choosing. There are even some games that can help your brain get some exercise. Try downloading some games and see if you’ll like them. 


Tiktok
I know that everyone has heard of this app at least once. Spending time on it, you will find some funny and weird videos. You’ll also maybe find some hacks that people show about other apps, life, cooking, etc. There are also trends and some dancing videos. A good thing about this app is that you are able to like the videos and come back to them on your profile, you’ll also be able to make your own videos. 


Gaming
You can do this with friends and family. There are different games that you can play either solo, multiplayer or online. Some are free, demos or you might have to pay to play them. Either way, you will have something to play because there are a lot that are available. 


If you’re at home doing nothing, these things should help keep you busy during quarantine, and will help make your day go by faster. The next thing you know, we’ll be able to see our friends and family in no time.
