Quarantine Boredom Survival Guide
Boredom can lead to excessive couching.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread worldwide, everyone has been instructed to stay at home and quarantine. Teens across the globe have had to cancel many events and plans in order to stay home. I put a poll on my Instagram story to ask people what they have been doing to keep themselves busy and these are the results.

Being in quarantine for 4 weeks and counting brings a lot of time to do things you never really do. Take some time out of your day to try something new, or to do something you enjoy but never have time for.
