These 33 People Found Ways To Make The Best Out Of Quarantine

ADVERTISEMENT

With more confirmed cases and casualties of COVID-19 cropping up every single, it's easy to start losing hope. Especially when there are plenty of things to worry about that aren't just getting sick with a potentially-fatal respiratory illness. Isolation, entire economies on the verge of collapsing, and mostly the uncertainty of our future are just a couple of things that can drive a person insane in no time. But when there's a push towards one direction, there will always be people pushing back and this post is dedicated to everyone fighting all the negativity with fun and wholesome acts and ideas.

From people dressing up as sharks to a man painting watercolor portraits of his neighborhood's dogs, this list contains many examples of people being entertaining, be it for their own families, or everyone out there.

"Dear Parents
Do you have bored, quarantined kids at home? Help yourself to a paddle boat which may (hopefully,) make at least bath time a little more fun. :) Please take only 1 so lots of households can enjoy one.
p.s. The posts are finished with food grade cutting board oil, so are safe for little ones."

He and several well-known people he knows threw an online prom for this year’s grads. It was awesome, the channel is awesome, and you should check it out :)

As a writer and image editor for Bored Panda, Giedrė crafts posts on many different topics to push them to their potential. She's also glad that her Bachelor’s degree in English Philology didn’t go to waste (although collecting dust in the attic could also be considered an achievement of aesthetic value!) Giedrė is an avid fan of cats, photography, and mysteries, and a keen observer of the Internet culture which is what she is most excited to write about. Since she's embarked on her journalistic endeavor, Giedrė has over 600 articles under her belt and hopes for twice as much (fingers crossed - half of them are about cats).

This is what you call making the best of a bad situation. I've used my shelter-in-place time to finish a nonfiction book that I've been working on for a couple years. I probably got more work done on it over the last two months than in the previous two years.
