This past month has proven many things. One being that I can binge-watch a television series in a scary amount of time. I often think about what this pandemic would be like without pop-culture. Meaning, we’d have no movie or music streaming services, no social media, and no internet to entertain us. I know, I sound like such a millennial. Thankfully, the gods of boredom have blessed us with the technology we need to keep us occupied.
Plane tickets and gas prices are the lowest I have ever seen— which is immorally ironic considering we can’t go anywhere. Movies featuring desirable destinations are about the only way I can attempt to feed my hunger for travel. I blame this forced isolation for my sudden desire to be Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love and run away to Italy.

I find these to be the only way I don’t completely hate myself for eating my sorrows away.

Throwing a miniature dance party with uplifting songs is a fun way to get the family out of this funk and thinking optimistically.
