The spread of the Coronavirus has been a trying time for many people, and the need for social distancing has left people feeling like their lives are falling apart. From planned vacations to large social events, everything is being pushed aside in order to keep the virus under control. For college students set to graduate, this especially sucks.
After all that hard work, you will absolutely want to celebrate your achievements. And why shouldn’t you? Graduation is a big deal! There are plenty of celebration options available that can be fun without the risk of infecting yourself or others with COVID19. Here are some ideas:
1 – Graduation annihilation! The world of online gaming opens up a ton of possibilities for social interaction, and one of the most popular is Fortnite. So, why not grab your friends, form a team and celebrate by spending the night massacring the competition together?
2 – Rampant digital violence has never felt so responsible, but there are tamer options out there for the otherwise inclined:
3 – Minecraft, for example! The great thing about sandbox games is they can be anything you want.
4 – So, get some friends together and have a team build, create some games, or simply hang out!
5 – For a lot of people, a big part of any graduation party is getting all dressed up. Well, that can also be accommodated. First things first, you don’t need the robes! So order some cool new clothes online!
6 – Then let’s put together a look, preferably something classy! Just because you’re exercising social distancing doesn’t mean you have to miss out on showing off your outfit, and getting feedback from your friends.
