Dear future me,

I’m not sure when I will be reading this but it is still interesting to write to put everything in perspective. Right now, being trapped at home, I have come to some realizations as there is not much else to do. Doing nothing is exhausting, for me at least, as I am sleeping more than ever and even though I do so little during the day, I find it hard to do anything productive. I know it is important however, as being productive can at least help you feel better.

I have not been good at keeping a routine going but that would definitely help to keep me engaged and productive throughout the day. Knowing that we will likely be doing remote learning for the rest of the semester is really sad as there will be so many activities we, as seniors, will be missing out on. It does suck but I hope we can have some things during the summer and hopefully colleges will be back to normal come fall semester. I have heard already that some colleges are considering doing online classes for fall semester and I really hope that is not the case. It is such an unlucky time for this to happen although there are many people suffering more. I understand the severity and that there is nothing we can do apart from try to decrease the curve and hopefully reduce the amount of people getting sick and dying from this disease.

For most of my time in quarantine I have been watching shows, movies, youtube, playing games with my family, and working out. Although it is not fun, I think i’m making the most of the situation and keeping myself sane at least for the time being. I hope it doesn’t last too long and that things can go back to normal for summer time. I’m sure in the future I will remember this time and hopefully not be too angry about it. It will be interesting to see how in many years we are all affected and to see what changes are made after this is all over. There are definitely changes that need to be made and I hope we have people to bring forth these changes sooner rather than later. The U.S has really not handled this well and it should not have taken a global pandemic to prove that there are so many things needing attention in this country.

If anyone is in need of a show to watch I would highly recommend Lucifer as it is very funny and easy to binge. The sad thing is however that I am nearing the end of the show and will have to look for something else to binge soon. Otherwise there is not much else to say. We are in a strange time right now and I hope it ends soon. I hope that I am happy when I read this letter next and hopefully still alive but we’ll see.

From Myself
