Quote From classmate:” When I first heard about COVID-19, I looked at it as if it wasn’t a big deal, so I just thought of it as a vacation because my school closed whenever it struck the U.S, but little did I know that it would end my high school experience in the most disappointing way. My friends and I were having the time of our lives playing video games till 3 in the morning; this was a dream come true to us because we have always thought about a huge event like this would happen where self-quarantine would be mandatory, using this as an excuse to do nothing but a game. As time passed around April, I noticed that I began to lose my interest in gaming. I felt as if I was wasting my youth doing nothing, so it struck me when I told myself, Damn, Im really in my room waiting for days to go by, just for them to be the same. At first, I enjoyed the quiet roads, just the sound of the birds when you go outside, but this made me feel lonely because I was so used to seeing my friends every day who are loud and obnoxious. Still, their personalities make memories, good ones, unlike the self-isolation, where it is just plain and saddening. ”
