I think the quarantine this year had really taken a toll on all of us. It’s crazy to think that in our time, we are living throughout a historical moment that will be remembered. The way I see life and society has been altered by this experience as a whole.

During the quarantine, I did a lot of things to cure my boredom. One of my favorite pass times was to listen to music. I would listen to this music with my friends and we would jam out together on discord and in the car. Of course, being on the computer, I also played a lot of videogames. Some games I played at the beginning were Valorant and Grand Theft Auto V. Eventually, we got bored of those games and went to the classic, Minecraft.

I also picked up other hobbies and interests while being so bored. One of them was cars. While playing GTA V, I realized that certain cars are actually really cool. I found a liking in cars from Japan called JDMs. Another hobby I found was biking. I really like riding around on my bike because its a form of exercise and a mode of transportation. Fitness was something I also started while at home. In April, I created fitness goals for myself to achieve. Through hard work dieting and in the gym, I was able to achieve that.

Overall, quarantine was a very productive and fun time for me. Although the state of the world is pretty chaotic, I was able to find more things that make me happy and make me better.
