  It has been weeks since the quarantine started. Weeks with just yourself or with your whole family. Being stuck with your whole family during the quarantine might sound crazy but fun, too! Different people with different personalities. Pretty sure you have already identified the different roles of your family during quarantine.

  Let’s find out which type do you and your family members fall under.

  The Quarantine Tribute

  The lucky recipient of the quarantine pass. The member who gets to see the outside world while others are stuck inside their homes. His role might be dangerous but somehow quite fulfilling. Hours standing in line in the grocery is nothing when you get to complete your mom’s grocery list. Small victories, right?

  The Introvert

  There are just quite a few people who enjoy the solemnity of being alone. They don’t mind spending days inside their room or even inside the house ’cause they simply feel comfortable being alone. Being quarantined for weeks or even months is nothing to them. That’s what they are actually good at!

  The Prisoner

  If there are people who enjoy being alone, there are also some who can’t even last a day inside their homes. They feel like they are held captive in their homes. They are usually the outgoing ones. The life of the party. The adventurous one. Too bad it’s going to be more weeks of imprisonment for them.

  The Work-from-Home-r

  Quarantine won’t stop these people from being productive. If there is one thing that they have secured before the ECQ, it’s their workstations. They wouldn’t mind taking up half the space of their place as long as they still get to deliver and meet deadlines amid the pandemic. Ditching 9 to 5 is totally not a big thing! Always ready to get that call from the boss or who knows they might be the boss who gives random calls. *winks

  The Panic-eater

  These are the family members that you really need to remind that this is a quarantine and not a picnic session. They just love to spend time thinking of which snack to devour next. Life’s fun, eh? You just need to remind them constantly to ration the supplies, so the Quarantine Tribute won’t need to go out that often. Save some so you don’t need to worry tomorrow.

  The TikTok-er

  Weeks of non-stop shoots for their TikTok entries. They might be safe from contacting the virus but they sure are badly hit by the TikTok virus. Great news but the only downside is you get to hear their background music everyday for the whole coming weeks more! Nothing serious just the #WhoahChallenge day and night! No big deal!

  The Designated Dishwasher

  If there is a Designated Tribute, then there must be a Designated Dishwasher. This family member is mostly the youngest, the bunsos of every Filipino household. Since they don’t have any monetary contribution during the quarantine, then make them master the art of washing the pile of dishes.

  The Netflix-and-Chill

  Have you been having a hard time finishing that series you’ve been meaning to finish ever since? Then now is the perfect time for you to binge watch and be that one family member who does nothing but just binge watch movies or series on Netflix. What’s even great is you can even host a watch party with your friends by just downloading that Netflix extension on Google Chrome. Watch your favorite movie or series in the comfort of your homes plus you can even chat with them real time!

  The Gamer

  If there is Netflix to get others by, then there is this gamer who survives the quarantine with just their gaming consoles. PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, you name it! They might be stuck at home, but they have been to different islands already. Who knows they might already made themselves millionaire on Animal Crossing in just a few weeks.

  The Couch Potato

  Nothing quite exciting about them because basically they just sleep all day. They don’t go out to get groceries, they don’t do household chores, they are just there on the couch on full idle mode. They just sleep through the day as if it’s the most important thing to do every single day.

  No matter which type you fall under, always remember that you don’t need to force yourself to be productive during the quarantine. People have different ways to cope up these days. Be at your most comfortable you during the quarantine. Whatever suits you is fine.
