These past few months have been a giant rollercoaster of emotions and experiences. Staying at home brought up so many new things I wouldn’t have even had a single thought about if we were still to be in school. All of the boredom at home led up to being more open minded and adventurous. I don’t know what exactly stimulated this kind of feeling but every day seems more and more fulfilling.

In my experience during this time, so much has happened only within these few months. Having the mindset of using what you have around you to survive pretty much played a big role in this time. Because boredom had to take over, I looked around my house, my room, and my garage to find something to do. Who knew there were so many things I could have been able to pick up? Some of the new things I picked up in quarantine were skating, playing guitar, working out, and even shaving my head. Yes, I gave in but I regret nothing. These just the things I did to cope at home but I always wonder how my friends, family, and teachers are coping as well.

Despite how miserable it can be sometimes, it only allows spare time for growth and development within a person. Depending what kind of mindset you take in during quarantine is how you will spend it. Like how I went in quarantine with a positive mindset which led to a path of new goals and acknowledgements for myself that correlated with my emotions to be more happy. I do still keep in contact with my friends and family still and some of them are still always complaining. My advice to someone that is bored and wants to survive, think of literally anything and pursue it. It doesn’t have to be too major that takes too much time but that is up to you. Just anything to pass time that is very involved. Before you start you should take one thing into consideration, you should be committed to yourself before anything. It’s simply just self love and appreciation. Having a connection with yourself is incredibly powerful and impressive. That moment of realization that every action you do will impact you in some kind of way will benefit a person’s self worth. You live for yourself, keep that in mind.

It is only a few more weeks until school is over and this end was probably what no one was expecting at the beginning of this year. Overall, this school year was not so bad because there has been so many eye opening moments for myself personally and I’m sure there were for a lot of people as well. This year was just an extreme cultural reset bringing so much more experiences to come.
