  Lockdown Life

  It's thanksgiving in November 2020 for me it's a very casual day during the lockdown. seems like Joe biden won the election, King Von dioed not too long ago, also Kobe, Chadwick Boseman and Pop Smoke died recently. My family doesn't celebrate thanksgiving but this year we decided to go to my uncle's restaurant Novikov Miami but other than that nothing was really that special. Im in miami because my dad came here for his work but my school is online so it wasn’t really a problem and im going back to California soon. I like to go to the gym daily also i play Xbox with my friends almost every day. I play games such as Fight Night Champion, GTA 5, Warzone, UFC 4, Watch Dogs Legion and 2K.

  The Same Old Same Old

  Personally, while this pandemic has impacted many people around the world, in my area we are not as affected by death nor illness, but rather the fear of the situation. There is much doubt and fear in our world at this moment in time, not only with COVID-19 but also in regard to the riots and protests. Despite this, I have merely stayed at home and both stressed over coursework and enjoyed more time to relax. I feel that this meme encapsulates the relief I experience over not having to physically go places, but also the sadness of not being able to see my friends and family. However, with social media and games especially, I am able to communicate with them and talk as I would do with them online like I would if we weren't on lockdown.
