Quarantine can be a very long period of time if you can\u2019t find something to do. Whether you\u2019re in isolation because you have become sick, or if you have to stay home because you are trying to be careful, there are multiple opportunities you can take to try and keep yourself busy.

\tFHSU Junior Edgar Garcia spent his time working out while staying socially distant. So far his quarantine journey has led him to lose 52 pounds.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI would like to keep my momentum going, and keep my healthy habits in check coming out of quarantine,\u201d he said.

\tSome people are exploring new hobbies and dipping their feet into previously unknown territory. Jesus Rodriguez, a freshman, began playing baseball with some people from his own town.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus had never played before, and quickly picked up the basics of the game and joined a traveling team. While their season was different due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he still was able to play a few tournaments and find a new love for America\u2019s favorite pastime.

\u201cIt was cool to experience baseball finally,\u201d Rodriguez said, \u201cI played multiple different sports growing up but baseball has a unique team dynamic I\u2019m glad I go to experience.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tSpending isolation with close friends can also help pass the time. This is the case for a couple of juniors isolating off-campus.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe mostly just play a lot of [Call of Duty] Warzone, and caught up on a bunch of things that need done around the house,\u201d said Carter Blackburn, one of the students in isolation.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Casie Roberts and her roommate Blaque Brin, recently returned to campus after being isolated and shared their thoughts about isolating together.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt made the whole thing easier,\u201d Roberts said, \u201cbeing by myself for a week didn\u2019t really sound fun, and we were able to do a lot more assignments and stay on top of things. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
