With the coronavirus pandemic going on, it’s getting harder for people to live their normal schedules, according to USA Today .

Sporting events and concerts have been canceled, schools and businesses are also closed down. Since the government issued every one to self- quarantine, people have been struggling to find things to do. Nonetheless staying at home is the best way to help decrease the growth of this virus.

But there are ways you could capitalize on being home. There are several things you could do to keep yourselves entertained during these hard times. Dusting off old items in the garage and putting them to use would be a way to spend your time doing nothing, also reading helps to expand your knowledge on things you never knew. Spending more time with your family playing board games, catching up on schoolwork would be an ideal way to spend your time at home.

USA Today also suggested that you, text all your exes just in case you have one more thing you wanted to get off your chest , Face masks, moisturizer, treat yourself to a 10-step skin care routine you don’t have time for during a normal work week. Coloring books are fun, they’re not just for kids.

There are many ways to engage with your friends in other states or countries. For people that like to play video games, game chats are ways to talk to friends and just enjoy their company. Downloading TikTok wouldn’t be a bad idea, it brings out the creative side of you and also is a way to meet new people.
