With the world under quarantine, everyone is either working remotely, taking online classes, or learning a new skill to make life a little easier. If you are in need of new ways to occupy your time, Her Campus Hofstra is here to help! We asked some of our members what they are doing during quarantine in order to provide some inspiration!

“Watching The Circle on Netflix, I learned to knit, and I’ve started cooking more – zoodles are my new guilty pleasure”- Cecilia Gray ’21
“YouTube workout videos (specifically from POPSUGAR Fitness like the ones in my article :)), game nights with friends using Zoom and Jackbox, baking my ASS off! Oh, and so much Netflix Party. – Madie Mento ’21
“I’ve been cooking and baking a lot, playing a TON of Animal Crossing, and rewatching Arrested Development”- Micaela Erickson ’22
“My friends and I have been hanging out via Netflix Party, and we recently finished watching Love Is Blind! My family and I have also been having family game nights!” – Paige Strout ’21
“I started out by painting but ran out of canvas and then I started doing a LOT of things inspired by Tik Tok. Like recipes, bleach dying a sweatsuit, etc. I’ve been binging are Love Island, Sex Education, and Handmaids Tale and reading all the new books I haven’t gotten to yet in my house! Right now I’m reading Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven” – Kennedi Kutz ​’22
“I’ve been working out a lot – I’ve gotten back into running and trying to organize my life better (including cleaning my room and getting rid of clutter that I never had time to get to before)” – Melanie Haid ’21
“I have been focusing on getting all my work in order because I’m a big procrastinator so I’m trying to change that by staying organized. I’ve also been having a lot of Netflix parties with my friends and FaceTiming them all. Also when it’s nice out I’ll take my dogs on a walk.” – Kayla Blonigen ’23
While we are all facing all sorts of uncertainties, it is important that we each do our part and social distance as much as we can and find creative new activities to make the time go by faster. HC Hofstra is trying to do the best they can to try staying at home as productive as possible. Stay healthy and stay safe!
