In our consumer culture of constant movement, we’re bound to get a little bored over the next few weeks of self-quarantining. With events being canceled, bars and restaurants closing, and the virus still spreading, everyone in Phoenix and the surrounding areas has been advised to stay home as much as possible, leaving us with a ton of free time. These are a the best activities to try to pass time throughout the quarantine.
