What’s it like living in lockdown?
Everyday felt like a cycle, especially online school.
You wake up:
-Turn your laptop on
-Eat
-Sleep
- Defecate
and repeat
No leisure activities on the weekends, like we used to have.
You're separated from socialisation, family, and friends.
So you start to try new hobbies. Or instead, rot in your hobbit hole (bedroom).
If I'm being real, I spent my lockdown in a big t-shirt and walking around in my underwear.
Skateparks were closed so I skated in my driveway and neighbourhood.
All my neighbours could hear was the slamming of my board, and ahhhh.
I eventually switched to skating in my garage, and then just stopped skating as a whole.
I tried writing screenplays, which were terrible.
Lockdown was separation from people to people contact, boredom, weight gain, and extremely long screen time.
I’m glad it’s over, but I definitely learned a little bit about myself.
The fact that everyone else was in lockdown made it a lot more doable.
