Enlightenment of Isolation
by Samirah

This is a picture of me from the beginning of quarantine sitting inside my building.

This picture in many ways depicts me being stuck inside and patiently waiting to be let outside again. I see myself as a social butterfly even though I now don’t go outside as often and there is little social interaction. I love relaxing but I also love being around people and outside.

Besides the hard parts of Quarantine and Covid-19, there are many new things to be learned during this time.

My biggest takeaway that I wanted to get from this time was learning and working on being consistent. Consistency and time management have been major in my life during this time with school, working out, my sleep schedule, staying healthy, and social / outside time. It would be so easy to just watch TV, sleep, and eat all day, but if I did this I would not get much accomplished. I like the feeling of accomplishment and like I have gotten something done for the day. Working on having a routine and being consistent with that routine has been helpful to make sure that I have the most productive days during this time. Time management definitely plays a key role as well because I do sleep and watch . Time management allows me to balance the productive time and the relaxed time equally.
