In the age of social distancing and self-quarantining, your hobbies and social life might look a little different than they used to. During this time, we’re trading happy hour at the bar for video chats over a glass of wine and lifting weights at the gym for at-home workout classes.

However, social distancing doesn’t mean you have to remain distant from the ones you love. There are plenty of creative ways to stay connected at this time, while you wait for the day you can reunite with hugs, high-fives and in-person visits. Not to mention, this is an excellent opportunity to pick up a new hobby or learn a new skill — all from the comfort and safety of your home.

See how many of these at-home activities you can check off your list while social distancing!
