During this pandemic we have not been able to go outside which may have some of us feeling a bit anxious and extremely bored at times. While we’re bored sometimes it’s hard to come up with things to do. We are all trying to keep our brains occupied so we don’t think about the negativity that is surrounding us. So, we've come up with some ideas of things to do.

Shows to Watch

There's more content on streaming services, Youtube, and the internet now more than ever. Many streaming services also offer older shows we're not familiar with, but are still good. Don't we all love the Office? Perhaps there are more hidden gems out there. Here are some I recommend:

1. Grey’s Anatomy

2. Black-ish

3. Legacies

4. Friends

5. The Circle

Movies

In the same category, there are so many movies available as well. Here are some that've entertained me recently.

1. Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias: One Show Fits All

2. Forever My Girl

3. Clueless

4. Big

5. The Breakfast Club

Books

Reading can eat a ton of time if you commit to it, you just have to find something that's interesting to you. Some recommendations:

  1. Becoming by Michelle Obama
  2. The Assassin Game by Kirsty McKay
  3. The Wizenard Series by Kobe Bryant and Wesley King

Podcasts

Podcasts and audiobooks are another way to learn something interesting and be entertained for hours on end.

  1. LA PLATICA

2. The Big Swing

3. Hardcore History

Activities

  1. Spring Cleaning
  2. Social Media (Tik Tok, Youtube, etc.)
  3. Schoolwork
  4. Painting
  5. Drawing
  6. Crafts
  7. Gardening
  8. Coloring
  9. Organize/clean your room
  10. Try new makeup looks
  11. Play video games
  12. Have a spa day
  13. Play board games with family
  14. Learn how to play an instrument
  15. Facetime with friends
  16. Workout

Although not a complete list, hopefully this inspires you to try something new and make use of your time instead of suffering through boredom. Stay safe, Colts!
