Because of COVID-19 and distant learning, I have a lot more time on my hands, and I am getting bored. If you are too, here is a curated list of activities to do during the quarantine:

1. Complete a jigsaw puzzle. If you run out of puzzles, trade puzzles with a friend via porch pickup.
2. Paint or draw something. Google “random drawing idea generator” for some gifs with lots of creative ideas. Here’s an example: https://auditydraws.com/pages/audity-random-drawing-generator
3. Make a Tiktok.
4. Go on another walk, but find a new route.
5. Do a coloring page, or draw your own and trade with a friend.
6. Try on all your clothes in your closet and put together funny outfits. Make a pile of clothes you no longer wear, and donate them when quarantine is over.
