Distanced, but Still Social

Raise your hand if you’ve been in at least one video call throughout the quarantine.

Chances are, unless you don’t have sufficient Internet access, live under a rock or on Mars, or
give a new meaning to the word “introvert”, you will have most likely engaged in some kind of
video call these past few months.

But how can you keep these connections exciting, enough for you to look forward to them,
instead of becoming bored of, and even dreading them?

It’s completely up to you to step up to the plate and take charge.

Here are some ideas to spice up your next Zoom, Messenger, or MS Teams call.

STREAM TOGETHER

Finally, the next season of your favorite series drops tonight. Why not gather a bunch of friends
and watch the same episode at the same time, while on your separate devices? That way, you
can react to a plot twist in real life, and discuss whether the ending sucked or didn’t.

STUDY TOGETHER

If you’re interested to learn about an industry completely different from the one you’re in, or an
important life skill like investing, now’s the time. There are many webinars on various subjects
being conducted for free. Invite some of your friends who share similar interests and sign up for
webinars together. If virtual classes aren’t your thing, then consider downloading apps on your
subject of interest and discuss what you’ve learned in your next video call.

WORKOUT TOGETHER

Gather some friends or your partner and sign up for the same workout classes. That way you
can sweat together, even while physically apart, and cheer each other on through the next set of
burpees and jumping lunges.

CELEBRATE TOGETHER

Your friend got a job in the middle of a pandemic? Or maybe someone has a birthday? There’s
nothing stopping you from sending food and drinks over to their house and still celebrating
together via video call.

GEEK OUT TOGETHER

Visit your girlfriend’s island in Animal Crossing, race your friends in Mario Kart, or host quiz
nights via Kahoot. Make catch-up nights with family or friends exciting by allotting a part of your
call for playing something together.

Now that tiled photos of family or friends are the new selfies, it’s important to stay on top of
meaningful connections.

To help you do that, there’s Rogin-E. Not only does it help you out physically and mentally, but it
also boosts you socially. 87% of users have found it helpful in terms of the social aspect of their
lives*.

So, what awaits your next video call? It’s entirely your call.
