As summer begins, it may seem impossible to have fun or be productive when stuck indoors. However, even with stay-at-home orders lifting, curfews are beginning to be put in place around the country. Here are some ways to make the most of your quarantine vacation.
Online communities
Join online communities to find people who have similar interests as you. There are online communities for everyone and everything. Find a forum to talk to other people with your interests or try doing a monthly challenge, like doing a daily workout and sharing your progress with other people participating. Chances are you might learn a few new things and make some friends.
Volunteer
So many communities have been negatively affected by COVID-19, and with remote volunteering we can help them! With the internet you can connect to communities that need your help by sewing masks, thanking essential workers, or just by being a friend to those who need one during this time.
Online classes
Summer is the perfect time to enrich your mind with a topic that interests you. Have you always wanted to learn how to code or learn a new language? There are so many apps and websites that can help you learn all the things you never had time to before. Set some daily goals and you will be learning something new in no time.
Virtual hang outs with your friends
Just because you can’t be with your friends in person, it doesn’t mean you can’t still hang out with them. Stream a movie together, play an online board game, start a book club or just talk. With the Internet, the possibilities to connect with your friends virtually are endless.
Be creative
Admittedly, many of us are feeling a lot of emotions right now and we may not be sure what to do with them. Channeling those emotions into art is a good way to release them. Now is the perfect time to work on those projects you’ve never had time to finish or start brand new ones. This way, you’ll be able to create something positive during this tough time.
