During the current crisis, it is important to consider how we as a society can continue to stay engaged with one another. Across the country, citizens have taken to the Internet as their source for salvation. Whether it's mindlessly skimming Wikipedia, binging exotic Netflix true crime docu-series, or wrapping one's head around the size of Drake's mansion in his most recent music video, the Internet has delivered entertainment for everyone.

One DC resident has taken his obsession with the Internet to the next level--internet scavenger hunts. Traditionally used as a tool to help elementary school students begin exploring the internet safely, internet scavenger hunts have expanded to new audiences during this pandemic. He noted, "I was really bored this afternoon, so I started piecing together an elaborate joke that turned into a half-decent idea."

"Once it was finished, I mostly just felt disgusted with myself that I wasted two hours on random s--t."

Others have turned to video conferencing for entertainment. Numerous platforms including WebEx, Zoom, Skype, Hangouts, and even Facebook have introduced video calls capable of having more than two people at once. One GW student noted, "It's like we're hanging out, but now only one of us can speak at a time...so I guess it's like the really polite version of us hanging out [in our underwear]."
