Here’s what you can do to connect and have fun with loved ones and friends amid the quarantine | Lifestyle.INQ

The pandemic may have forced people to stay indoors but there is a growing number of options for us to see the world. The internet has become a necessity since it allows us to connect with our loved ones even if we’re miles apart.

 

If you’re looking to make the most out of your internet connection and have fun with your loved ones and friends, here are some ideas:

 

Hold family stream nights. Now that we are all indoors, it’s the perfect time to catch up on the latest movies and TV shows. Gather the family, microwave some popcorn, and snuggle in for stream nights. Play a series of holiday movies to get you in the Christmas mood, or stream new titles like The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix.

 

Have study buddy sessions. Kids learning in the new normal can get together with friends for online study buddy sessions. Compare notes, quiz each other, or share insights about their most recent classes. To make group studies more seamless, friends can open a shared document or spreadsheet on Google Drive and add their notes in.

 

Host watch party weekends. Reward yourself for a job well done by hosting a watch party on the weekend with friends. Simply put, a watch party is when you watch a movie or TV show together and chat. Think of it as a movie night in the quarantine era, where you get to hang out with your loved ones and talk about what you’re watching (and other side stories, too).

 

Get physical with group fitness classes. The lockdown has forced us to be sedentary but you can change that today. Join online fitness classes to get physical. There are tons of workouts available, from high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to yoga, Zumba, and spinning. Find what you like and commit to it. Keep your motivation going by inviting friends and family!

 

Upskill and learn something new. Always wanted to learn something new and do more? Our stay-at-home lifestyle is the perfect chance to do it since we can upskill without having to leave home. You can choose something that will be helpful for your career, but feel free to sign up for something that you can do for fun. Some interesting classes we saw are for foreign languages, improv acting, mixing drinks, and more.
