Being stuck at home can feel like a drag, especially after living on campus for a few months. While your family may drive you crazy, here are a few things to keep you busy and happy!
1. Pick up a new hobby
Whether it be painting, sewing, doing puzzles, or teaching your dog tricks, try to do something that brings you happiness that isn’t online, especially after a predominately online semester.
2. Set some sort of goal
You can set a simple goal to reach out to a different person each week. Whether that be virtually or socially distant, it doesn’t matter. Or, if you want to set an active and more major goal, try to train for a 5k (they have apps for this!)
3. Take time to reflect
2020 has been a crazy year, and because of that, you may need to take some time to break things down. You can even journal about it!
4. Appreciate the good times
One way to really highlight the good things that happened this past year is by printing out some of the pictures you might have taken. This way, you can emphasize and look back on your positive highlights!
5. Organize your life
This may seem like a big task, but it’s all about the little steps. Step one can be as easy as cleaning out your sock drawer; maybe get rid of the sock that lost its pair in the laundry. And then work your way up to more significant projects like cleaning out your closet and either selling or donating unused or unwanted items!
Doing all or just one of these things can make you feel accomplished and help get ahead on the right path into 2021!
