This is the second year in a row in which we have been locked down in our homes and if there is one thing that has been consistent in these two years, then it’s that feeling of living in a never-ending loop, with all of our days looking the same blending into each other, and it’s true that after a point of time it takes a toll on us. It’s true that with our months spent in lockdown, we feel alone with nothing much to do other than going on social media or spending time with our friends and that too on just video calls, and who would want to waste all the beautiful summer days like that, spending every day in front of their computer screens?
It’s important to break down the boredom of this time, So here are 6 things that you can do with your friends which are so much more than just video calls –
The Secret Snacker – Order secret snacks for each other.
This is a very fun yet very simple game. You can play this with a single person or a group, we suggest that it’s gonna be more fun when played in a group. As the name suggests it pretty much goes like the secret Santa, you can select any online delivery site for example Amazon or an Instagram store delivering snacks of your choice, then it goes as simply as ordering any snack online but the twist is that instead of ordering snacks for yourself you would be picking them out for each other while keeping the order a secret. Your friend will only get to know about their snacks when they will receive them. This is also a very fun way to know how much you know your friends and obviously, you would be getting some lip-smacking snacks at the end of the day, making your entire day so much happier.

Workout Video Calls – Besties that move together, stay fit together.
We all have the same lockdown routine with spending all our days in the comfort of our beds, whether it’s assignments or work from home we do it all in our beds avoiding to move even a bit from its comfort. We agree that it’s very relaxing sometimes to spend your entire day in your bed like that, but it’s not healthy for our mind and body when it becomes a routine. We feel lethargic and negative, with the lack of physical movement there is also a lack of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that are the body’s natural painkillers and mood elevators. That’s why we need to exercise a little every day, it doesn’t have to be a very hard routine, just anything which makes our body move and feel fun, for example, jump rope, aerobics, dancing, 15-minute youtube workout routines. We understand that even if we start something it’s hard to stay consistent at it and to beat that you can make a friend your workout partner, you can workout together on video calls, this will help you in staying consistent with them encouraging and pulling you out of your laziness every day.

Make playlists for each other – Music is a love language
If you are someone who can’t stay a day without listening to music, then this one is for you. Music has always been a way for people to express their emotions. It’s almost like a language that people use to express their feelings: instead of finding the right words, they like to find the right songs. So if you have a friend who likes to listen to the music with you, who shares the same interests in your type of songs, then you can make a little playlist of all the songs you would like them to listen, and gift it to them. It’s such a cute, old-school, and romantic idea that never fails to impress people. You can add songs that hold some memories for you, songs that remind you of them, it’s so fun and exciting and honestly such a great way to make memories. You can make these playlists on Spotify or any other music streaming apps.
