Same! Usually, I only focused on celebrity gossip and now I'm finding myself paying more attention to the worldwide issues that's being announced in the news.
I have to say, I have never focused so much on the news before in my life! It had never been something that interested me (as bad as that sounds) but I have been so up to date with everything going on for once
Thank god this pandemic didn't occur during winter because then we literally would all be stuck inside! At least now we can open our doors/windows and get some fresh air.
@kiana41040820 I feel like I have somewhat of a mental and physical break. Before this started I was constantly stressed with having an overload of school work, and now since profs have been delaying assignments/tests, I feel a sense of relief.
@Marianne3071 I agree! Before this pandemic started I relied on other people in my house to make me food, but now I am finally learning how to cook and it's actually helping me pass time.
Although our phone, laptops and tablets are a good distraction, I think we have to go beyond technology to keep us sane during these times. Things like cooking, making art, gardening and working out are essential for the mind, body and soul!
@sorayak80901771 Yes, I feel like I'm sleeping in too late now and going to bed past 3am, therefore, my whole schedule is off and I'm not being as productive like I use to be.
This whole pandemic is an eye opener for me makes me think about the importance of being able to connect with others and how social media despite having some negatives influence on us sometimes is truly helping us in this situation.
This page is useful if you have any questions about the Pass/Fail classes. Really takes off a lot of stress knowing we can make the decision once we receive our final grades :)
