Head in The Game
Even before the pandemic I would play online with my friends most of the time but the pandemic has just reinforced it. I play everyday with my friends and laugh and mess around and I think because of that I haven't gone crazy yet. Thanks to playing with my friends and having fun I have been able to stay happy and relaxed. -

My desert garden
Living in New Mexico, it can be hard to have grass or many plants due to the heat and dry ground. Between my dogs running around, the water needed, and the time it takes to have grass in the backyard we hadn’t grown any in a few years. When the quarantine had been happening for a while, my mom devised a plan of how to set up a sprinkler system to water they back yard and have grass and plants instead of dirt. The idea for a sprinkler system was one idea of many my family came up with. She ordered all of the parts online and researched ways to set up and successfully put a sprinkler system and dripline in. After receiving all the parts in the mail, my mom set off to home depot to get a ground trencher so we could put the piping underground. We had to lift and drop the trencher so the large dirt blade would create a path. She was supposed to get a small single-person trencher but came back with a giant and extremely heavy one. Since many people had the same idea of doing yard work during quarantine, the other trencher was being used by someone else. The trencher weighed so much and was so hard to move through the house into the backyard. We finished trenching by the end of the day and were ready to lay down piping. The hard part was getting the trencher lifted into the back of our car again, it was unbelievably heavy and it took all 4 of my family members to lift it into the car. We took some time and faced some more challenges when trying to grow a yard, but in the end, it ended up working out. Our yard now has a layer of grass and a drip line system to water other plants around the yard. -

Leaning Tower of Books
I was never really someone who enjoyed reading, or at least I didn’t by choice decide to pick up a book and read for fun. I would only pick up a book if school required me to. But since the start of the pandemic, I have had a lot more free time and I have had to find ways to fill that time. So I started picking books that seemed interesting, and once I started, I was fully engaged until the last page. And over the course of the summer which is roughly 3 months, I have been able to finish at least 6 books, breaking any record I might have had for summer reading. -

Boredom Hike
I’ve uploaded pictures of my hike to signify my boredom through this time. With just staying home, going on walks or hikes was like an event in your day/week. I don’t normally take pictures during my hike because it takes a lot to get good pictures and it’s a mostly boring desert when hiking. I was so bored that I decided to challenge myself and try to take good pictures on this mediocre hike. This is the type of little thing about this pandemic that everyone can relate to. I never would have done this without quarantine. -
