Finding activities can be hard, especially with the stay-at-home order in place. While many people had plans to hang out with their friends during spring break, it did not become a reality.

However, even while stuck at home, there are many ways to stay entertained.

Matt Antonio, a senior majoring in marketing and sports business, had plans to go to Florida with his roommates. However, due to COVID-19, they had to cancel their flight and reservations.

“We were supposed to have the best spring break ever,” Antonio said.

To stay entertained at home Antonio has been watching Netflix, cleaning and playing video games.

At the moment he is rewatching “The Office” and a lot of anime. According to Antonio, half of his day consists of playing video games such as “Call of Duty.”

“There is not much I can do to keep entertained [inside] because I am a very active person and I like to go outside and go hiking, biking, play basketball and all that,” Antonio said.

Since Antonio can’t go to the gym like he usually does, he has been doing workouts at home.

Another thing Antonio does to keep entertained is have movie and board game nights. However, Antonio said he is happy classes are starting because it’ll give him something to do.

“I’m pretty bored, I think everyone is going crazy,” Antonio said. “I would rather do something than you know, just being on my phone and switching apps back and forth.”

While some people see the stay-at-home order as a bad thing, Antonio believes it has a silver lining. At the end of the day, people have more time to focus on themselves, according to Antonio.

“I feel like everyone should look at themselves and write down their goals and reflect on what’s out there and what’s good for them,” Antonio said.

Sadie Marie, a junior majoring in graphic design, was going to go visit her family in western Washington for spring break but because of COVID-19 she decided to stay in Ellensburg.

Marie has been keeping entertained by listening to music, livestreaming and connecting with her different social media platforms.

Marie said she livestreams on many different apps such as Instagram, YouTube and LiveMe so she can connect with different people while social distancing.

“I love doing livestreaming and getting to chat with different people … and see how they’re handling this situation,” Marie said.

Marie said she also enjoys listening to music because it lets the time go by.

Her favorite genre of music to listen to is old school R&B and some of her favorite artists are Aaliyah and Trina.

She also likes some new school artists like Trey Songz, Summer Walker and Nicki Minaj.

Another activity Marie has been doing is trying new recipes. Marie also likes doing makeovers whether it’s renovating her apartment, adding new decorations, rearranging items or doing her makeup.

Marie said something that has kept her entertained is watching TV and movies.

Some of her favorite shows and movies at the moment are “Euphoria”, “Enough” (2002), and “Friday After Next” (2002).

“I’ve just been watching a lot of movies,” Marie said. “I turn on any movie that involves action or crime. I really like those.”

When Marie isn’t entertaining herself by watching TV or listening to music, she is entertaining other people.

Marie is a YouTuber, so creating content for her channel is something she really enjoys doing.

The content she produces includes mukbangs, which is eating food on camera, and makeup tutorials along with other similar content.

Marie said she enjoyed the extended spring break because she feels more productive when she can make her own schedule.

“If I could be in quarantine for the rest of my life and have the supplies I need, I could live like this every day,” Marie said.

Shanna Chua, a senior majoring in public health, was planning to go to Disneyland during spring break for her fifth-year anniversary with her boyfriend. They were planning to go to Los Angeles afterwards.

“I was so sad because it was my fifth-year anniversary and we planned it for months since early winter quarter,” Chua said. “But it’s okay, better be safe than sorry.”

Chua said to keep entertained she has been cooking at home more often and playing a lot of Animal Crossing with her roommates. She is also homeschooling her younger brother since K-12 classes are canceled.

 Chua said she has been pretty busy because she works for Instacart which is a delivery service for groceries.

She didn’t mind that spring break got extended because it gave her more time to relax and spend time with roommates and family.

“There’s actually a lot of things you can do other than just Netflix and chilling or just be on your phone,” Chua said.

The downside of being stuck at home and having online classes is that it is harder to socialize with other people, according to Chua.

“You won’t be able to walk about campus and go to events or things like that, which I really enjoyed,” Chua said. “Being at home for a really long time sucks. It’s definitely going to [stop] the daily habits that we have when going to school and stuff.”
