Quarantine Blues and Boredom
For a lot of us, school closing means Netflix-binging and endless phone-
scrolling but I’m sure there are better ways we can fill our time for
these 5 months. Here are a few things to do?
1) Get into reading!!! I know that a lot of us quit reading, to focus on
our exams, but that really isn’t an obstacle anymore! If you don’t
have any books at home, maybe try downloading some eBooks of
the Leicester libraries website or even download their app, which
is basically like a virtual library!
2) Watch some documentaries to enrich your mind, whilst you're
not at schools – this is especially important so you don’t get brain
fog and become behind next school year. BBC iplayer and Netflix
have some great ones for you to try like “what the health” or
Animal planet.
3) Tidy. Your. Room. You’ve been delaying it for long enough so why
not start now? – it could be a late Mother's Day present to your
Mum, and you can find that thing that that’s been lost for a while
now. Maybe you could even let go of some things that don’t bring
you joy, Marie Kondo style?
4) Learn how to cook. This is an important life skill that you will
always need, so why not show your family that you can do more
than just boil pasta. There are loads of recipes online and step-by-
step videos on YouTube to watch and make sure to clean up
