Stay at Home
Recently, due to the serious impact of COVID-19,
more and more people choose to stay at home for their
own safety. However, unlike some people are forced to
stay at home because of the staying at home. Sometimes,
my friends are also curious about what do I do at home?
To tell the truth, before entering in senior high school,
I was a person who likes to hang out with friends every
weekend. Nonetheless, with the increasing pressure of
academic, my after-school activities are basically going to cram schools. In the course of time, even if I have free time, no matter how good the weather is, I will still choose to stay at home taking a rest. In fact, I do felt a little boring when I stay home all day at the beginning, yet I started trying to find something to do later.
The first thing come to my mind is to watch the dramas or movies that have been accumulated for a long time and have not been watched. While I am watching the drama, it seemed that I could forget all the pressure and other annoying things shifting all the focus to the characters and plot in the drama. Another thing I will do is to cook various kinds of dishes. Before going to university, I was actually a person who could only cook instant noodles. But when I stay at home, I will occasionally watch some food programs like Chef’s Table or Master Chef. Whenever I see those chefs cook so many delicious foods, I also want to try cooking by myself. Moreover, sometimes when it seems boring to watch movies all the time, I will play tabletop games, such as UNO and The Resistance: Avalon with my family. Every time I start playing a board game, I will get stuck in it and forget the time. The last thing I will do is tidy up the house. Recent years, minimalism is very popular, so I also try to give away my old stuff and keep things orderly. When I see my home is clean and tidy, I feel a sense of accomplishment.
In general, there are many things that I can do while stay at home. I think those people who think staying at home is boring may just fail to find the joy of staying at home! When I was little, I thought it was happy to be surrounded by a lot of friends and partying with them, but when I got older, I realized that living a leisurely day without harassment was the most precious moment and I’m really enjoy now.
