Unfortunately, the Coronavirus doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. We’re dealing with cancellations throughout the country and the world. To limit the spread of the virus, health professionals are recommending everyone practice social distancing, and basically go under a version of quarantine while we wait for the next steps. That begs the question – what do you do when you rely on social interaction as an extrovert? Here are some handy tips to get you through this rough period!

Thankfully we live in the golden age of video sharing and streaming. It takes a little bit of dedication, but your weekly tradition of watching Brooklyn Nine Nine with your girl gang doesn’t have to be affected! Try downloading an app like Kast and get those social vibes going!
