As quarantine slowly comes to an end, we all struggle to find things that interest us. Although they may be hard to see, there are some activities we can do to keep busy.

Firstly, most of us are quarantined with our parents, siblings, pets, or even our friends. If you can, meet together at a certain time in the day, and choose 1-3 games you can play that day together. This will keep you busy and allow you to spend quality time with your family. Being competitive while also having fun can make time so much quicker than just sitting in your room alone on your phone.

Next, you can create your favorite food recipe. You can learn how to measure, pour, and prepare food for your family. Most treats that you can bake have very few, and usually cheap, ingredients. Cooking is always something entertaining you can do when you have extra time on your hands. You can make anything from grilled cheese sandwiches to cake. And the final product is always worth it…well most of the time.

Lastly, you can redecorate your room. We can all get bored of the way our room has looked for weeks, months, or even years. Quarantine is a great opportunity to change that. Order new curtains, rugs, or even furniture. Or you don’t have to buy anything at all. All you have to do is put your existing furniture in new places and redecorate with crafts. You can also surprise your friends with your cool, new room once quarantine is over.

There are many things you can do during quarantine to keep yourself busy. Playing games, cooking, or redecorating are just a few. We can all still have fun even while trapped in quarantine.
