Allison, How has coronavirus affected your life?

Well, it affected my life by being stuck at home all of the sudden. I barely get to see my family and friends. It also affects my life by being superstitious that I will get the virus. It’s very hard staying at home during school because learning is slower and the fact that asking questions is difficult really affects the way I do things. I’ve been needing to be way better at time management because of the strict due dates on assignments. 

Do you have any chances to get fresh air during the day?

I try to go outside at least once a day but it can be hard with schoolwork and chores. I’ve had soccer for a couple of months now, but it just recently stopped. Sometimes I go outside in the mornings and drink coffee on the balcony, but not very often. Hopefully I can get better with going outside and making fresh air a priority. I have one or two friends that I hang out with but we always keep safety precautions. 

What are some ways you deal with boredom?

I don’t do much when it comes to boredom, but I do have a couple things to do to help it. The first is scrolling through social media and watching Netflix. Over the course of quarantine I have to say that I must have finished at least 30 shows. I also have a variety of coloring books. These can be really good for destressing. They’re also time consuming so I’m not bored for a long time. It’s really hard not socializing with different people since I got used to doing so during school. Hopefully we get out of these hard times soon.
