~ Brooke F. ~ Leave a comment

Intro to the game:

So, a Quarantine game for our friend group. It’s a bucket list of stuff to do over the course of the quarantine with points assigned to each task. Whoever gets the most points wins a huge pack of toilet paper or something.

-Find a pack of toilet paper (a whopping 100 points. Must have selfie of proof though)

-FaceTime another member of the group and complete a get to know you quiz comprised of at least 10 questions. (You can do this multiple times, just with different people) (40 points)

-prankcall another member of the group (30 points)

– make a trailer for the group (50 points)

-write a poem with this friend group as a prompt. (20 points)

-draw a portrait of another member of the group (no cheating-Stick figures are not allowed. Give full effort. Also, seeing as how there are multiple members in the group, I’m willing to let this be completed multiple times) (30 points)

-try a new recipe (double points if you style it like a baking show) (40 points)

-take the enneagram quiz and share your results. (10 points)

-make a playlist and share it. (15 points)

– write a letter and mail it to another member of the group. Double points if it’s in code and they have to crack. The receiver gets 40 points if they crack it. (Normal letter: 20 points, coded: 40 points. I am willing to let this one be done multiples but to different people.)

-Paint something (25 points)

-sprout a plant (50 points, picture required)

-learn a new skill (can be completed multiple times with proof of new skill, worth 20 points per skill)

-write a short story, involving this friend group (must be at least 600 words, and for the sake of fun, I’m willing to let this be completed multiple times. Point worth 25 points per story)

-bomb a member of the group with memes (10 points)

-leave a “secret package” at one of the others members house. (This one is hard so obviously is gonna be worth a lot. 200 points if you leave it personally, 100 if you mail it or get it there another way.)

-make a music video (25 points)

-give code names to all the members of the group and share it (10 points)

Rules and things to remember:

-You have two weeks. 

-Unless otherwise specified, you can do an item only once. 

-You are allowed to team up with People but only on specific tasks. Don’t just dominate everyone. 

-If you get your family to participate you get 10-20 extra points per family member as long as they aren’t participating in the games. 

-You are in charge of keeping track of your own points so be honest my friends 😉

-I suggest copy and pasting this into your phone notes for future use. 

Here’s the tea ☕

Chamomile-

Amazing for winding down and relaxation. Good to drink before bed. Also helps with anxiety, head aches, and bloating. Recommended for those who are stressed. 

Peppermint-

Helps with bloating as well but also combats nausea. Another perk  includes combating bad breath.  

Chai-

For those with crappy immune systems (haha me). Fights inflammation. Aids digestion.

Black-

Treats anxiety (yay). Helps with weight loss. Also relieves head aches. 

Oolong-

Promotes weight loss & boosts one’s metabolism. It also might decrease your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and protect against certain types of cancer. Good for dental health. 

White-

Good for stress and detoxification. Also promotes weight loss. 

Hibiscus-

Good for high blood pressure and fights respiratory diseases. 

Matcha-

Also good for bad immune systems.  Burns belly fat and is a good detoxifier. 

Hard Health Tips We All Need to Hear

Health tips we all need to hear (I’m kind of calling myself out too)

-stop drinking coffee for the aesthetic. Drink water. 

-actually make your bed. It makes your entire room look so much more neater. Trust me, I was a skeptic about this too but once you get into the habit, it really improves the feel of your space and gives you a clearer mind. 

-snack less. 

-Procrastinate Less. As soon as you get an assignment, DO IT. 

-it’s okay to buy yourself little treats every now and then. You feel guilty too much. It’s okay to buy that package of new socks for yourself, seriously.

-make yourself a playlist, it really helps. 

-wash your face at night, it can help you “wash away the day”. 

-if you want a warm, comfort drink, I recommend tea. I plan on making a full post on this. 

-don’t play your phone in bed. The blue light hinders your sleep and you want your mind to associate your bed with sleep. 

Just Good Feelings

Good feels

Waking up to the smell of something good cooking 

A week or day that you’ve been looking forward to. 

Studying so hard for a test and having it pay off

Writing something and editing it only to finally finish it and actually being proud of the finished product. 

That feeling of being out the cold and that rush of warm you get when you walk inside. 

The smell of summers evening mixed with the sounds of crickets and frogs conversing. 

Rainy day where you don’t have to go anywhere.  

Hot chocolate during the winter. 

Listening to a song you love and Getting to THAT part. 

Warm showers that feel like home. 

That feeling that you get after watching a really good feeling in a movie theater and feeling like you can conquer the world. 

LONG CAR RIDES.
