Due to COVID-19 and the cancelation of in-person classes, you may just find yourself stuck inside on a period of self-isolation. However, this does not mean that your BYU experience has to come to an end. You can still have a Cougar-ific year inside. Here are 10 things you can do to continue to enter to learn and go forth to serve.
- Take a cold shower to prevent yourself from thinking about the opposite sex. You should have considered getting married before the coronavirus pandemic.
- Go down a Youtube rabbit hole and become convinced that Justin Bieber is an illuminati lizard person. It’s what Brother Brigham would want.
- Make up a fake test and cheat on it. The bad feeling you get inside will make you grateful for the testing center.
- Binge-watch all of the Book of Mormon videos. Discussion question: Would Martin Scorsese consider these cinema?
- Build a toilet paper fort. Your mom panicked and bought way too much.
- Play table-top football, but make sure that you perpetually lose. This will invigorate you with the spirit of BYU athletics. You are, however, allowed to win at table-top basketball.
- Answer the Daily Universe’s soda questions on Instagram. This is important, hard-hitting journalism.
- Go through the drive through at Swig or Sodalicious. No disaster can quiet your caffeine addiction. For this, you should be proud.
- FaceTime your ministering sisters and brothers. They will probably love it and want to stay on the phone with you for two hours.
- Read the Alternate Universe. We’ve been working really hard lately and deserve some recognition, ok? These are tough times. It’s the least you could do.
