Boredom.

The same day has been replaying over and over again for the past 3 weeks. Americans have been in quarantine (or at least they should be) for quite some time. At this point, there is only so much you can do to keep yourself entertained. As of today, we are looking at another 2 weeks of quarantine (hopefully) before the government assesses our situation to determine what to do next. An article for one of our readings this week, titled “Viral Challenges Are What’s Keeping Us Occupied” mentions the various things people have been doing to keep themselves entertained. From Instagram challenges to tik tok dances there’s nothing else better for us to do! Famous rapper Drake even released his music for his new song “toosie slide” demonstrating a dance meant for people to recreate while stuck inside their homes. The film was also filmed in his Toronto home, showing that we are all stuck inside together. This time f is also giving people a chance to channel their creativity and focus on the things they love to do, as they now have the time to get back to their hobbies.Kitty O’Meara is a great example, as we’ve read about her in this week’s reading. While in quarantine, she wrote a poem titled “And the people stayed home.”. This poem has been shared on multiple social media platforms, and has been recognized by celebrities like Bella Hadid. During this time, we are all trying to find ways to remain positive as we sit and wait for what’s to come. In the meantime, we shall learn to adjust to this new way of life, even if it means learning tik tok dances.
