Socializing During the Era of Social Distancing

Lately I've been trying to figure out how to socialize again during this pandemic. I hadn't really noticed until recently just how isolated I had been feeling, especially living by myself for the first time. The realization came out of nowhere and it's been making me feel a little down. So I'm trying to find ways to be social that are low cost and fun. I live about an hour away from my family and friends, so getting together can be difficult. Plus even if I felt brave enough to go out, my budget won't allow. My mom suggested starting a book club or doing a girls night/check in via zoom, both ideas that I love. I just want to get to a place where I have some semblance of a life again lol.
