How I Keep Joy During This Time

How I Keep Joy During This Time
by Andrenae

Throughout this time of being home from school due to COVID-19, it is really important that you stay positive and joyful. I say this because there are lots of people who go away for school to get away from things at home. There are also people who may not have the necessities they need at home that they get from going to live on campus. While I have been home, I have been trying to do more things with my family to keep the spirits up such as playing card games, watching movies together and cooking more rather than eating out. We’ve been making smoothies for our breakfast. My sister and I have also been using TikTok ALOT during this time. We’ve been doing all the trendy dances, to have a bit of laughs and fun. We even got my mom to do a few with us. I have also been applying for jobs and more scholarships for school. The most recent thing I have been doing is adding to my business plan. I want to own a food truck and eventually a restaurant, as well as my own brand, so I have been talking with people in the business and culinary fields that can help me take steps in the right direction. The best thing you can really do during this time is stay positive and keep your spirits up in any way possible. Reach out to your friends and family members just to say "hey". Start working on things you may have wanted to do but didn’t have time. Be creative.
