In these rather special times, when education in Quebec is very slow, there's no question of being bored. Even if most of your classes continue, it's not an option to stop enjoying all the leisure activities life has to offer. In this article, I'll share 6 activities that I hope will change the course of your confinement.
1. Gordon Ramsay who?
Discover a new restaurant: your kitchen. Yes, I'm talking about that place you deserted for Ubereats, that place where you let your hastily deposited cups of coffee pile up before going to class. Those days are gone! You don't have class anymore, so there's no reason to run. We'll start with the dishes, then you can commandeer your best saucepan and finally open your pasta restaurant.
2. Welcome to the terrace
Spend some time on the terrace. I'm talking, of course, about the little ledge next to your window that gives you a wonderful view of your elderly neighbor, so you can get to know her. And for those who don't have a "terrace", sticking your head out the window is a very good option. #enjoythesun
3. Spielberg, get out of that body!
Direction cinema: become the cinephile you've always wanted to be. To do this, I'll meet you not at the Cinéplex Odéon, but on all the free trial sites. They'll take your bank details and empty your account at 00:01 on the 8th day without a second thought. You can also count on streaming sites that guarantee poor quality and viruses galore.
4. What a beautiful botanical garden...
Start your first botanical garden. On a smaller scale, you could plant parsley, for example, in a tiny pot of soil (soil you'd find in a park on your way out for a jog). I'd also thought of basil, to be sure... the life expectancy of your plantations isn't the priority of my article, but I dare hope that you'll take good care of them. What's more, finding an open garden store will take up a good part of your day, and that's priceless!
5. Your most beautiful trip
Once you've finished your distance learning courses with your university, CEGEP or other teacher, it's time to have some fun. Best of all, the most common and most enjoyable activity: a round-the-world trip. Needless to say, this is a metaphor: your round-the-world trip will take place on social networks. You'll be able to see people from all over the world posting the same articles, the same memes and doing the same lives. Take the opportunity to discover Tik-Tok, you won't have a choice anyway.
6. Culture first
Visit the most beautiful library in Quebec, in your living room or, for the more flexible, in your bed. This time, I'm talking about a library 100% financed by you, your first business. We're talking about the astronomical number of books you've bought for all the courses you've taken since you started school. Not only will you finally be able to finish your overdue homework, but you'll also be able to start the culture part of this famous confinement. With our busy daily lives, you'd be surprised how many hours can be filled by reading one book after another. So, start with your compulsory reading, a few plays by Molière and then, above all, I recommend you read our articles. recommend reading our articles.
