As I’m writing this, I’m still stuck in quarantine and holding out faith that by the time that this is posted two months later, that situation has changed. We’ll see. Basically, quarantine me was bored and decided to think of all the places she could go and things she could do as soon as the pandemic was over. No longer will I go to the movies every time I hang out with my friends (no, I’m not joking it’s literally every time). Here’s 50 cool ideas for what to do with your friends when you’re hanging out post-quarantine. Go ahead, schedule your plans to go roller skating in six months. But make sure you invite me.
I just thought these things would be some good fun, but remember that right now there’s still a whole freaking pandemic. I say this probably every third post, but stay safe and wear your masks, everyone. Hope this makes you happy to think about all the things we can do once this is all over, and enjoy!
