WHO SAID GET CONFINED WOULD BE BORING?
2020 was an atypical year, as a virus changed our lives. No one could have imagined that such a thing could happen, but it did. When the alarms went off in Wuhan, it seemed that it was a virus that was only going to affect that region of the world, but little by little we realised that this was not the case. And there was no choice, due to lack of foresight on the part of the authorities in most of the world's countries, but to lock people in their homes to prevent the spread of the virus. At this point, we people found ourselves locked in our homes, like dogs in their pens. The situation was new to everyone and the feeling of despondency and boredom was present in every house.
This blog is addressed to all those students confined at home who are discouraged about not being able to party for a long period of time 😣, and it is written with the intention of brightening up future confinements, with the aim of making you go to sleep looking forward to getting up and having an unforgettable day (at home).
WHAT CAN I LEARN TO DO IF I AM CONFINED AGAIN?
5 THINGS TO LEARN TO DO AT HOME
It is always good and important to learn new languages. I am sure everyone would like to speak lots and lots of different languages. The problem, or the excuse we usually give, is that we do not have enough time. Well, what better opportunity than a confinement to use all your free time to learn new languages to differentiate yourself from your potential competitors in the job market.
Another thing you can learn to do is cook. Many of us young people are very comfortable in our homes because we have our parents who do everything for us. But, although sometimes we do not realise it, in a few years we will be those parents who serve their children and, for that, we must learn how to cook (among other things). So now you know, take advantage of all the free time you have and start this adventure that will make you grow up and become more independent.
This is one of the most important things in my opinion: how many times have you wanted to change your look but did not take the risk for fear of what people will say? Well, during confinement is the ideal time to try it out without being afraid of what people will say or how they will react... unless your relatives or your dog might laugh at you 😂
This idea is possibly the most entertaining and one of the most fun you can have. We all think we are experts in something (I do not know if we really are or not). We can see it perfectly on Twitter, where millions of users give their opinions on any subject, without having any idea what they are talking about. But it is true that there are other people who do know what they are talking about, and in a single tweet they may not be able to express themselves well. For this reason, if there is time, as in this case, opening a blog and writing about what you are most passionate about can be a great idea (football, politics, religion, influencers, history, films, etc.). Apart from entertaining and amusing yourself, if the blog is of high quality it could be read by someone important and that could open the door to a future job related to what you like the most.
Finally, you can and should learn to appreciate the little things. Life goes by very fast and sometimes we do not have time to appreciate everything we have. So, do not hesitate; when you are tired of writing your blog or learning new languages, when your hands are burnt because you do not know how to cook or when you have cut your hair to 0 to hide the damage you have done, then stop, relax and learn to value the hugs you gave your grandparents, the walks you took with your friends, being able to breathe fresh air, etc.
I hope that you have found these 5 ideas original and, above all, that they are useful to have fun and entertain you in these difficult times.
