What can one do to break the dull isolation of quarantine? Here’s my proposal: Go play Dungeons & Dragons.

Column: Travel advice for spending three perfect days in Prague
Prague, where the beer is cheaper than water. Prague, home of some of the best shopping in Europe. Prague, the city where every street contains magnificent architecture. Prague, home to the oldest castle in Europe. Prague, The City Of 100 Spires. With all the places to see and go, there was no time to waste. So this is exactly what I did and this is what you should do as well.

My mother works as a nurse navigator for a north Georgia hospital. Every day, she is calling patients and revealing to them their coronavirus test results, comforting those who are positive and celebrating with those who are negative.
Column: Stay home and stay safe so we can all yell ‘Hotty Toddy!’
With all of this happening, forcing me to stay in my Mississippi hometown, it makes me relish all that I have taken for granted these past years leading up to this – like all of the friendships I have made in just a few short months, or all of the sporting events that kept me on the edge of my seat.
Column: Stay safe and remember to do your part
The one thing that can be said, however, is that the administration at the University of Mississippi took the precautions needed at the most opportune time to make sure we as students did not see the worst of Covid-19.
Column: The COVID-19 pandemic has strengthened my faith
As a broadcast journalism major at the University of Mississippi, my freshman year experience has been full of ups and downs, but overall, it has been so much fun. The coronavirus has affected my school experience, social life, and my spiritual life.
Column: Quarantine isn’t so bad if you have streaming services and a new puppy
The highlight of my family’s quarantine is an easy one. We welcomed a new dog to the family. My sister, Madison, and her husband, Alex, purchased a chocolate lab puppy a few days ago. They traveled to Oxford from Washington, D.C. to get the last puppy at the shelter.
Column: My plans to study abroad in Italy were canceled because of COVID-19
When it reached Italy, there was a little more panic and seriousness about it in the media. In May, I was scheduled to be studying abroad in Italy, so our trip advisor sent us weekly updates about what was happening as the virus spread.
Column: COVID-19 brings fears, struggles and optimism
I realized COVID-19 was significant when one of my colleagues had a family friend in Wuhan, China, and they said the virus is to be taken completely serious, and it is not accurately presented in the Chinese media.
Column: Self care is important when dealing with the impact of COVID-19
We began to discuss the virus in many of my classes, but I still just assumed we were discussing it as news and not something that would be personally affecting us. I did not realize the magnitude of what was happening until March when we were out for spring break and other students were speaking about how colleges were not letting students come back to school.
Column: It’s important to remain hopeful during the pandemic
I am a sophomore integrated marketing communications major at the University of Mississippi, who is now back in my childhood home in Greenwood living off matcha and fishsticks. I am here with my parents, younger sister and tiny dog – happy to be home, but I just want this to be over.
Column: What it’s like being an ‘essential employee’ during a pandemic
While hundreds of millions of people in the U.S, are quarantined at home, there are still millions of Americans who have been deemed “essential employees” and are therefore still traveling to and from work every day.
Column: I am focusing on gratitude while adjusting to a new normal during the pandemic
It’s crazy to think how one thing, as small as a virus, took our precious world and turned it upside down overnight. The mention of COVID-19 brings up many emotions. Worry, stress, hope, and appreciation are all things I’ve experienced within the past month.
Column: It’s important to connect with a supportive team during a pandemic
In these stressful times, my mother has challenged me to stay connected to the people I have left in the wake of COVID-19.
Column: My thoughts about COVID-19 quickly turned into concerns about my parents’ lives
Soon my thoughts started to mostly be about my mother and fathers’ safety. Both individuals are middle-aged victims of cerebrovascular accidents and have diabetes.
Column: Ole Miss basketball player says work on new goals during COVID-19 pandemic
How do you go from being an active student-athlete all year to sitting in the house all day? For many athletes across the world, the pandemic is a difficult time, but athletes and others can use this time to work on new goals and better themselves.
