Keeping Yourself Entertained in the Time of Coronavirus

The coronavirus has impacted everyone from business owners and families to students. I'm sure we've all seen the memes/videos about how bored people have gotten during these times, but that's no reason to worry. I am going to share some of the best entertainment sources you can take advantage of during this pandemic!

As a student, you are given 6 months free Amazon Prime by signing up with your @g.emporia.edu account. Amazon Prime offers many things free with its subscription such as movies, TV shows, books, and discounts on select products! Follow this link to learn how to activate your trial and see some of its benefits!

Quibi is an interesting concept because they will be offering original, new, TV shows... but the episodes will be 10 minutes or less in duration. This is an excellent platform for short study breaks or to simply invest less time per episode during your content binges!


Netflix is one of the most popular streaming platforms nowadays, and because of that, I am going to give you all my top 3 series to watch!

  1. Ozark - Ozark is a Netflix original series that follows a financial advisor, and his family, as they try to keep their best to deal with money laundering issues. There are three seasons out already, and I expect there to be at least one more in the future.
  2. Altered Carbon - Altered Carbon is also a Netflix original series that follows Takeshi Kovacs, an elite soldier in a futuristic world. It's incredibly interesting to watch and learn how their world is. There are two seasons out already, and I would expect more in the future!
  3. Money Heist - Money Heist is also a Netflix original series that follows a group of criminals and their plan to rob the Royal Mint of Spain. It's action packed with a lot of clever moments. There are four seasons out, which includes the fourth season which came out TODAY, April 3!

Hopefully some of these suggestions can give you some entertainment in this time!
