I hadn’t realized it before, but I hate it indoors. I want to GO OUTSIDE SO BAD. While I have never been one for the outdoors, now that it is impossible to go out, I want to get into the sunlight and enjoy the outside.
Although it is so hard to cope with being stuck inside, with family all the time, at least it gives me the time to finally binge watch my favorite Netflix shows. I could finally draw in my unfinished sketchbook, and with no limit, practice with my instruments. I have been spending time with my siblings and we have been staying entertained.
Entertainment is fine, and it is important, but you should also find a way to exercise. Try just getting up and walking around at least three times a day for thirty minutes, to stay fit during this quarantine. Try moving or doing some activity for a few minutes and you will be surprised how much better you feel.
Someone who is happy we are all staying home is my Mom. We get to help her out more than the usual with the house chores. I am not saying I like doing chores, but my mom likes having the extra help around the house. Don’t forget Mother’s Day. Do something nice for your mom, like dishes, laundry, or cooking. Give her a break, she deserves it!
The whole shutting down of the sports was surely depressing. They took the privilege to go outside and now our favorite sports on television. This virus is really something. Recently it’s been trending that many famous people have gotten infected by it too such as Kevin Durant and Tom Hanks. Seeing famous people get the disease makes many feel like no one is safe. So just do your part and stop the spread.
So far, 2020 has been a completely horrendous disaster, since the very beginning. In January, we were on the verge of starting a war with Iran and unfortunately at the end of the month, lost one of the greatest players in the NBA, Kobe, his daughter Gigi. In February we saw Australia in raging flames, the coronavirus was starting to develop a bit more. Now in March [as of this writing], the COVID-19 virus has taken over various countries.
The worldwide death toll from COVID-19 races up everyday, in New York, New Jersey, countries around the world. As the total number of cases is approaching four million, at the time of writing, it is important for everyone everywhere to do what they can to stop the spread of the disease and to help out in any way they can.
Each day more people are getting infected and dying. This pandemic plague is currently caging us in our houses. Just tell me HOW CAN THIS YEAR GET ANY WORSE. Let’s just hope that the summer redeems this year. Experts, like Doctor Fauci are saying that this disease will probably go away during the summer just like the regular flu, so let us hope and pray that it is the case.
I want this whole coronavirus thing to disappear. This year is my 16th birthday and I want to celebrate outside with my family and friends. If things keep going like this, I might not get what I was looking forward to this year. Not only that, but the Olympics, this year in Tokyo might get cancelled and at least postponed. I really like to watch the Olympics during the summer.
As of now, we do not get the freedom to go outside but at least we can stay home and indulge ourselves with the things we find delight in, that is RIGHT AFTER we’re done with the 500 assignments we get everyday. We have to stay positive and find the good in these times we’re living through. One day we will all be laughing about the time we did school from home.
