The Positive Side of Quarantine By: Olivia Ekeland
I can sit down and list all the negative things about quarantine (like I am almost 16 and the DMV's are not open yet), but being my optimistic self, I would much rather prefer to list all the good things the coronavirus has brought.
1. More quality time with family
Before quarantine, my family and I were too busy with sports that we weren't able to spend a lot of family time together. Now, I feel like I have really connected with them (especially with my sister).
2. Having more time to binge-watch Netflix shows (do I need to say more)
3. More time for school work
Because of this little blessing in disguise, I am able to take my time and hand in work that I am proud of
4. Hanging out with friends now is more meaningful than it was before
I took seeing my friends in school for granted. I miss seeing them every day, so that's why whenever I have the opportunity to hang out with them, I always try to make the most out of it.
5. Finding new hobbies/passions
For example, I started making friendship bracelets (yes, I know I sound like a VSCO girl) because they take my mind off of stressful things like school and food (don't ask). I wrote letters to my friends (which I still need to mail) because I feel like getting a handwritten note is more sincere than a long text.
6. We are living history
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like it's so cool that we will probably get our own chapter in a future history textbook.
Like most of you, I cannot wait for the day until quarantine is over, but while we are still in it, let's just try to make the most of it.
This is one of my favorite shows on Netflix

It's always a good idea to focus on the positive if we can!
