The World is Our Oyster: Making the Most of Quarantine Time

As we navigate this uncertain time, many of us are finding creative ways to make the most of our time at home. With abundant amounts of free time on our hands, we can finally tackle those tasks and projects that have been put off for far too long. Whether you're looking for ways to stay entertained, productive, or simply enjoy some quality time with loved ones, there are countless ways to make the most of your quarantine experience.

One idea is to get creative with virtual activities. For instance, you can set up a FaceTime session with friends and family who live far away, and play games like virtual Pictionary or charades together. You can also join Netflix groups, where you'll be able to watch movies and TV shows in real-time with others, even if they're not physically present. Additionally, you can build forts for movie nights or simply for fun, and engage in competitive fort-making with your roommates. These virtual activities are a great way to stay connected and have some fun while still being safe at home.

If you live with roommates, why not turn quarantine into a game? You can play scavenger hunts, making the prize something as simple as getting out of doing chores or grocery shopping for a week. Alternatively, you can set up your own bowling alley using empty water bottles and tennis balls (or even just regular balls if you're feeling fancy). Get creative with the rules and challenges, and make it a fun and competitive experience.

For those who are feeling crafty, why not try baking cookies and decorating them? This is a great way to get into the holiday spirit, but let's be real – there's no need to wait for Christmas! With all the time you have on your hands, you can experiment with different recipes and decorations, and make some truly unique creations. And if you're feeling really adventurous, why not try making your own bowling balls using ping pong balls?

But sometimes, it's nice to take a break from all the activity and focus on something more relaxing. For those who live alone or are looking for ways to unwind, why not treat yourself to a spa day at home? Set up a face mask station, whip out some whitening strips, and indulge in some much-needed self-care.

Of course, there are also plenty of productive activities you can tackle during quarantine. If you've been putting off organizing your documents or cleaning out your closet, now's the time to do it! Get out the files, sort through old paperwork, and make a plan for keeping everything tidy going forward. And if you're feeling particularly ambitious, why not try deep cleaning your fridge, car, or entire home? It may not be the most fun task, but trust us – it'll be worth it in the end.

As we look to the future and wonder when things will return to normal, let's make the most of our time together. When it gets stable again, we'll have the chance to explore new places, spend time with loved ones, and enjoy all the things that bring us joy. But for now, let's focus on making memories, having fun, and enjoying each other's company – even if it means just hanging out at home with a few friends and some snacks.

In conclusion, the world may be ending (or at least feeling like it is), but we have the power to make our own fun. So go ahead, get creative, stay productive, and enjoy every moment of your quarantine experience. Who knows – you might just find that you're making more memories than you would have if things had stayed "normal."

over stake alright next one's pretty obvious try new recipes cooking and baking recipes I'm gonna link below some of my favorite recipes that I have found online so the us can recreate them because they are delicious another thing you can do is at home wine tasting and beer tasting so wine tasting of course you'd have to have the different bottles and such but places like BevMo and Grocery Outlet any place like that you can get pretty cheap wine and you can do your own little wine tasting for beer tasting if you go to the store you can find just like craft beers and they have like 22 ounce ones I believe they are and so you can get a variety of those you don't have to buy a whole like 12 pack or something like that and just try a bunch of different ones and find a new favorite beer you could also do an indoor picnic how cute you can do like cutter eboard with some wine or you can make a full dinner whatever you want and just lay out a blanket and have a little at-home picnic it's also really cute if you light some candles you can even put on the TV but those like fake fireplaces really set the mood you know what I mean if you're looking for something to do with friends okay if you haven't heard of the game quip lash you can play it virtually and just FaceTime so or you guys can do it over zoom so you can share screen and then everyone text in their answer so you don't have to be with the other people physically another thing with that is you can get a white board and you can FaceTime for someone or zoom whatever you want depending on how many people you want to play and you guys can do virtual pictionary you new virtual charades I mean let's get wild with this virtual life right another thing you can do with groups from afar is there's a new thing called like Netflix group and I'd have to look at exactly how to do it on life I've been seeing people do it where it shows like you're in your Netflix video and then on the side everyone can like right in like their comments like oh my gosh that really just happened or they better kill off this character next I don't know what kind of comments you guys making movies but basically what I'm talking about other things you can do is you can build a fort you can build a fort for a movie night you can do a fort just to have fun another thing is if you live with someone else you guys can do competitive fort making just saying and then if you can't decide who the winner is I mean you can always do polls on like Instagram I think on Facebook or people can vote for their favorite one you can also do your own spa day so face scrubs face mask whitening strips hair masks whatever get wild you know the world is our oyster at this point we have abundant amounts of free time so let's just do all of them something I'm gonna be doing this week baking cookies and decorating them so I know a lot of people consider this to be kind of like a Christmasy thing but in the reality things they make cutters shaped like everything and they even have neutral cookie cutters so you can get as wild as you want you know you don't have to wait for Christmas let's just be decorating cookies out here just because we like sugar another thing if you live with roommates is you guys can do scavenger hunts and you can make something the prize or play for the right to not do chores or not go grocery shopping next you can also make your own bowling so obviously it's not going to be as wild as if you were to go to actual bowling alley but something you can do is with empty water bottles fill them about fourth with water and then you can lay them out in the diamond format and if you have any like tennis balls or even what I've done before if you want to get really creative is get a sweatshirt and use the arms to like tie it into a ball and it makes it even more challenging because it doesn't roll completely but if you don't have any like dogs or kids to have balls on hand make your own it's Quarantine baby anything goes another thing I ordered ping pong balls and what I'm planning on doing is I don't know if you guys are seen by was looking up on Pinterest and basically you get ups and you write like hundred points 50 points 75 points and you've attached them to a board and you get ping pong balls and you have the line from wherever people have to stand and you try to toss them in and get the most amount of points so you can either do it you have a certain amount of ping pong balls so you can do it a certain time limit that you have so you can go pick up the balls if you miss and try again and whoever has the most points obviously would win so a lot of these things are just getting creative but if you're looking for something a little more productive we can finally
