Happy weekend! I’m bummed I missed Thursday’s blog post, but I got so caught up in packing for school that I just didn’t get a chance to write and publish it. Regardless, I was planning on straying from my usual fashion content today anyways to share a “bonus post” about the backyard party I threw for my family a few weekends ago! With Covid and everything, there’s no denying that this summer has been a little less ~fun~ than usual. Back in May, my parents and I decided to do one fun/interesting/unique thing each day for the entire month in order to spice up quarantine life, so I wanted to do a little reprisal of those quarantivities and host a backyard party.

staying busy, staying home, quarantine activities

What’s shakin’, bacon? How are you holding up? While several of my friends have already started complaining about being bored at home, I’ve begun to realize that quarantining and staying home doesn’t feel that different from when I’d come home from college any other day… guess you could say I didn’t have much of a life before COVID-19 and this social distancing thing has just highlighted that fact, ha! Regardless, I’ve never been the type of person who bores easily. I always have a million things to do or things I could choose to do (continue learning an instrument, read, write short stories, blog, play chess, etc.). But I realize not everyone is as eager to reorganize their bedroom or practice calligraphy as I am. So given that, I decided to round up a few ideas to keep you busy during this time—some are basic, some are outlandish, but hopefully you find that some of them are unique (and actually appealing). Without further ado… Continue reading “Activities to Pass the Quaran-Time”
