What is something you’ve been putting off doing that you now suddenly have time for?
For me, before we were all in quarantine I never really spent time with my brother, like actually talking and hanging out, which is now something I have been doing on almost a daily basis since we are unable to leave our houses. I think this is important because when we both go to college and start our own lives I want to keep in touch with my brother so it is good for us to have a strong relationship.
What shows/movies have been helping you cope during this time?
One show I just finished watching is called The 100 and I really liked this show and it helps time pass by without me getting really bored. I think this is because it had a lot of action which helps keep me interested and not get as bored so fast.
What is one small thing you are doing to bring a little joy or comfort into your day?
One small thing I have started doing is playing a game with Cata and Grace everyday from 9-11. This helps me stay connected to my friends and helps me get out of my room because our xbox is in my brothers room, so it is also when I spend time with him.
How do you stay focused when studying from home?
When studying at home I stay focused by pretending it is a normal school day, by trying to eat snack during snack and eat lunch during lunch to stay in a routine and not tell myself that I can do the work later or go on my phone because there are no teachers around. This helps me stay focused and make sure I am also getting all my work done.
What is the most hilarious thing you’ve seen that distracted you from studying? Tell me about it or link it here. Why was it funny to you?
The most hilarious thing I have seen during my time at my house while we were studying was one morning my brother came down looking for a spear gun and he was completely dressed like a fisherman which I thought was very funny, but apparently he was making a video for one of his classes.
If you had a mantra right now, what would it be? Why?
My mantra would be ‘everything happens for a reason’ because I always think about all the negative things that are happening in my life and to everyone around the whole world because of this virus, so I always just tell myself that to stay positive and help me do everything I can while we all just wait for it to be over.
Who do you see most now?
I probably see my brother the most now because I go to his room a lot to play games or just to talk to someone in real life since we are unable to leave our houses.
What is the most annoying thing about that person?
The most annoying thing about my brother is that he doesn’t like to share at all. This is really annoying especially during this time because their are only limited things we can do and limited places for us to be, which makes it harder when he is unwilling to share.
What do you love about being stuck with that person/people?
Something I love about being stuck with my family is that we are able to talk a lot more now and learn more about each others lives since before this we would talk at dinner, but mostly spend our time apart.
