Shows:
People have used this quarantine to binge through their favorite TV shows and get a chance to watch new shows that they normally don’t have time for. Some BookMatch Teens have mentioned classic shows like the intense, action-filled show Criminal Minds, where a group of criminal profilers works with the FBI and, using behavioral analysis and profiling to investigate crimes and find perpetrators, and Masterchef, a famous reality TV show with dashes of drama and amazing food.
Series:
A BookMatch Teen mentioned the brand-new show Lovecraft Country, which is an Action/Horrorshow about a black man Atticus Black, who is joined by his uncle and friend, as they go looking in search of his father in 1950s Jim Crow America.
Origami:
Origami has always been a way of relaxation, it also improves your concentration and motor skills. Ready for a challenge? Try folding bills, something as unique as the figures you can make!
Reddit:
Reddit is a great way to discuss topics that you’re interested in with other people all around the world. It is a great way to meet new people, share news and discuss things and maybe even find something new to obsess over. Reddit dubs itself as “The Front Page of the Internet.”
Fruit:
Summer is the best season for fruit! Some members have taken advantage of the in-season fruits, figs, blackberries, peaches, plums, nectarines, and a cantaloupe. Everyone knows that the best way to relax on a hot summer day is to eat a bunch of refreshing fruit. Also, you can try making ice cream by smashing the fruit and adding honey.
Discord Hangouts: Discord is a fun, casual alternative to Zoom. It is usually used by gamers as it is an easy way to both talk to people and play games together at the same time. But you don’t have to use it for games, it is also a great way to watch movies together or just hang out on a call. One BookMatch Teen member notes that it feels just like a group of friends hanging out during lockdown.
Papermaking: Papermaking is a great and fun activity to do during the quarantine. It is also eco friendly because you can make paper out the paper you already have. It has become a trend for being sustainable, being able to customize your paper, glitter, color, etc. and it is also a great new hobby.
