“[The] most interesting thing is seeing how everyone’s spending their time, now. My family’s doing home projects, and we’re painting the house, so that’s interesting. It’s also interesting to see how things are changing. Nothing really interesting has happened to me since I’m inside…. I’ve seen a lot of people pick up new talents or activities, like trying to do art, or reading….and coding. It’s interesting to see what people are doing with their time and trying to make the most of it…. [In my spare time, I do] a lot of the same old, same old, because there’s never enough Netflix. Reading comics….is always fun. Also, walking [my] dogs is something that I can finally do, now. I feel like without school, there’s a lot less stress, and you feel less time constraint. You can actually take a break…whenever you want to; you can just walk out. It’s a lot nicer to be able to work from home, sometimes, because [there is] not a strict schedule [where] you go to this class at this time. It’s nicer to be able to have that freedom. I’d rather go back to school, though, because it’s a nice environment to actually learn in. While [there] might be a little bit more stress and a little bit more work, I feel like the environment is worth it for the people and friends, and making sure you actually do your work.”
