Besides the pandemic that’s going on, I’m doing pretty okay!
I am basically living at Wawa since I am one of the only workers that can work.
When I’m not working, I am pacing back and forth in my room and finding odd things to do.
I started doing a puzzle?? I stayed up until 6 in the morning trying to finish the thing.
That is what quarantine has driven me to. I’ve also started drawing even though I really do not have the ability to. I have cleaned my room about 5 times. I finished about 3 series on Netflix. So as you can tell, I’m really thriving in this time of isolation.
In this time of uncertainty, I have been trying to remain positive. It is somewhat hard though when you are constantly seeing headlines of people dying on the news… and when you see the terrible leadership that we are under. It makes me anxious how nothing seems to be normal. I just want to be back at school, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way.
If you really stop and think about it, it feels like none of this is real… Of all the things that could happen, I did not think that this would be one of them. This is all anyone is talking about. I can’t wait for this all to be over.
And the worst part is… my mind has just been a constant loop of Cardi B saying “corona virus”.

I was shocked when all of this blew up to be as serious as it is. When we got the email that were we being sent home was the first realization that I had that our country actually is going through something serious. I guess being our age and learning about things like this from the past, we weren’t really expecting something so serious to happen to us. I too have spent most of my time either doing homework or just finding myself in my room not doing anything. Hopefully by the time August comes around we will be moving into our dorms and not spending next year from our beds.

It sounds like in a few ways you’ve been doing good in the quarantine which is great! I wish I’ve been practicing something like drawing, there’s no other way to improve other than just by trying. I’ve also been trying to stay positive which hasn’t been easy but I’ve been purposefully avoiding the news. Ever since I came back home I’ve seen my mom watching the news and it’s only stressed her out.

It’s great to hear that you have been keeping yourself busy through this difficult time. I never imagined anything like this ever happening, and it sucks that it ended our freshman year so quickly. I can’t wait until all of this is over too and everything goes back to normal. Now I can’t stop hearing Cardi B too lol.
