When this whole pandemic started, it was all very new and stressful to people. We all didn’t know what to do with all of the time we had to spend in quarantine, but this time actually encouraged people to pick up new hobbies. Some people began baking, creating art, watching movies and shows, reading books, and even playing new sports.
Something I did during quarantine was watch more movies and shows. I always liked to watch shows, but it would take me a long time to finish them because I was busy studying for my classes and doing homework. Some shows that I watched were Love is Blind, One Tree Hill, Outer Banks, and Gossip Girl. My favorite show was One Tree Hill on Hulu which I really recommend.
Another way I benefited was I became closer to my family than I was before. My sister, Michelle, is definitely one of my best friends, and we share everything with each other. Yet, before quarantine I wasn’t really as close to my younger brother, Avraham, and my younger sister, Sara. Because of quarantine I really got a close bond with them and I’m really happy that happened. For example, my brother really likes basketball, so we all played together almost everyday. My little sister likes to do arts and crafts, so we would paint and make origami.

Although Covid-19 has been a difficult time for everyone, it seems that we all have a unique perspective and have done different things:
My sister, Michelle Shimunova, shares her experience from quarantine: “I was able to find a job as a CVS pharmacy technician because they were looking for more people to hire and that helped me get into pharmacy school because of the experience I got.” My cousin, Ella Shimunova explains: “Quarantine benefited me by working out and having the time to get into shape. I got some new hobbies like knitting, drawing, and scrapbooking.’ |
My cousin, Daniella Shimunova tells me: “I was able to gain weight which benefited me a lot. I also had more time to watch shows and have time for myself.”
Senior, Camila Moreno expresses to me: “I did try the Chloe ting workout. For a good while I used to go on walks with my dogs, and I got closer to my family.”
Senior, Yasmin Cobo says: “I worked out more because IO have more time for myself.”

Senior, Melanie Wisniaki shares: “I started knitting by hand.” Senior, Zykeria Rolle says: “I learned how to bake, and I got better at painting.” Overall, even though quarantine was stressful, many people prove that we are able to benefit. Whether it was having a better bond without family, getting into shape, and trying other hobbies, we were all able to make the best of it. |
