Are We Faking Boredom Right Now?

Is Quarantine Boredom a thing, or is it just being faked?

Right now Tik Tok has a lot of videos where people are dying and shaving parts of their hair off because they have nothing else to do. I do like these videos and they're inspiring to watch but when I see a lot of people modifying their hair on my For You Page it makes me question if it's being done more as a trend.

I don't really have that strong of an opinion on it but I definitely think it's something to be aware of. As someone who is always looking to change up their style it makes me want to ask the people who are modifying themselves one question: Are you shaving all of your hair off just because you saw someone do it or because you actually want to and you think it looks good on you?

If you go on Youtube and search "Dying My Hair Because of Quarantine" you'll easily find tons of videos. However, I can't be too harsh on the people who want to shave their hair or eyebrows because two days ago I shaved off the ends of my brows after seeing a video of Youtuber Frederic Chen (you can find his channel here) shaving off all of his brows. This ended up being more of a personal preference for myself though. As of two days ago I hadn't done anything with my brows since November of 2019 and the style they were in was getting boring so I needed a fresh start. I'm happy with the way they look right now and I feel like my face is more opened up.

I'm not criticizing or judging people who want to dye their hair during quarantine. If that's how you want to cope and fill your time I think that's fine because it's your choice in the end.
Some of my friends have already dyed their hair and I think that's fine if they feel comfortable with it. It bugs me only if people want to do it as a trend.

As a side note, here's some things you can do during quarantine that don't involve dying or cutting your hair:

• Catching up on old homework/doing your daily online homework
• Organizing your room/shelves/anything you feel needs organizing, even Spotify playlists
• Sending letters to places like nursing homes and bagging lunches and meals for those who don't have homes

And lots more...
