With online school, an inability to travel, canceled sports seasons, and postponed concerts, it’s been pretty hard to stay busy and entertained during this quarantine. It’s important that we all stay inside and practice social-distancing to do our part to help "flatten the curve", but staying inside so much can definitely lead to severe cases of boredom and restlessness. While some people may be indulging in newfound passions like running, baking, painting, or tie-dying, sometimes, all you want to do is relax. Here’s a list of Books, TV Shows, and Movies to keep you entertained while at home.
