Quarantimes: How students spend their socially distant life?

By: Ingrid Rimorin –--- Journalist/ @Jaguar Chronicles

The students are missing the “No rona ” days where they can still hang-out with their friends and step outside their doors with no worries, shop on physical stores, dine to their favorite restaurants and even have fun to their classes, but with the class suspension and strict health protocols which prohibits everyone to do unnecessary agenda going out students are describing their quarantine life “boring” unless you are an introvert who loves the perks of staying home all day.

With the days where they had no classes the students have come up with new ideas to ease boredom ,from the app TikTok there is a trend where people takes a video and do the “Never have I ever: quarantine edition” where they raise their two hands up and as they hit the record button an audio plays where it asks things that people might have done during their quarantine times such as: Learning new dances, DIY projects from TikTok, learn to cook new recipes, cut their hair by themselves and many more. Since almost all activities that includes physical contact are temporarily gone students use their mobile devices to try and do things they normally do with their friends, one of these is movies! Students use the screen share feature to have a watch party with their friends and have a good time whilst being apart from each other.

This pandemic might not be fun at all but we have one job and that is to save lives by staying at home, from a line by The happy broadcast “It has never been easier to save lives. Be a hero and stay home.” Let us cherish every second that we have to stay at home and be with someone because we may not have this moment in our lives where we spend our day together and being comfortable, let’s hope this pandemic to end soon to have our lives back and once that happens we all shout “JUMANJI!” if you know what people mean about that.
