How to Stay Entertained During COVID

The great question since the beginning of the COVID was how to keep busy and not get bored in the house during your quarantine. Now we have more freedom about when we can leave but we are still limited in what we can do. Since moving back to UKY I have at least been able to hangout and do stuff with my roommates but there is even a limit to what we can do so we keep coming up with new things to do. The first thing we did to keep us occupied was actually sports based. I know nothing about basketball but we started a bracket for the NBA playoffs which was a lot of fun since there were games everyday and the winner got a jersey of the team that one. Even though I did not win this fun competition I learned I actually enjoy watching it and learned I like the Celtics and Heat. Below you can see a picture of the bracket on one of our massive white boards.

Since this ended we struggled to find what we should do next as there are only so many board and card games you can play. That's when one of my roomates and I decided to rewatch all of the marvel movies in canonical order as we are HUGE fans of the franchise. Since then we have made it through 6 movies  as we just finished Iron Man 3 and also made a plan to do it in a movie marathon once the semester is over. Below you can see a picture of each of the marvel movies to watch in cannotical order (with a switch in Thor 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy as its up for interpretation and with not all the titles fully drawn out). 

During this time we also picked up a new videogame for us to play that I used to play a good 2 years ago. This is more for each of us when someone is not here to watch the movies as we need everyone here to watch the movies. So the game we got is Overwatch and more just gives us something to do rather than go hang out with other people because of COVID. Finally as a group we each have decided to rewatch the Mandalorian as we are also huge fans of the star wars franchise. Overall, these things we do together keep us entertained during this strange time.
