COVID-19 has impacted all of us, whether you tested positive or are staying home due to close contact, you are not alone. Being at home can be very boring and tiring, but it happens and there are many ways to deal with it. Whether you build something or try something new, there is always an activity you can do to pass time. Instead of dwelling on the fact that you have to stay home, you can use what you have in your house/room and do something fun and exciting. You may not be able to leave your house, but I can guarantee that there is something you can do besides laying in your bed and binging shows on Netflix. In the next couple of paragraphs, I am going to go into detail about the many things you can do in this situation..
The first thing you can do is build or make something creative and cool. It may be hard to find supplies in your room, but there are many things you can do with the things you have. You could redecorate your room. I love changing my room’s theme and moving the furniture around. Doing this can help you pass time and make sure that you don’t get sick of staring at the same walls and pictures. Another thing you could do is clean out your closet, and do some online shopping. It is very common to have clothes that you don’t wear in your closet. You can clean them out and find some new pieces that you want from a store online. Although you can’t go shopping in a store, online shopping is still really fun and you can find many great things.
Another great way to spend time while quarantined is to try to learn something new. Is there that one thing that you have always wanted to try? Well, now you have the chance to. With all this freetime, you can probably even get good at the thing you want to do. One thing you could try is to learn a kind of dance. You could go on YouTube and watch videos of dance routines. There are so many varieties of dances to learn, and it can be really fun. Another thing you could try is some kind of art project. You could look at a Pinterest board and create some artwork with paint, markers, pencils, and even highlights. There are endless ways to create something creative and beautiful. Being stuck in your home can be tough, but these are some great things you can do instead of being bored out of your mind!
