“During quarantine, I have been on calls with my friends constantly, watching movies and TV shows through Netflix Watch Party. I’ve been trying to find new hobbies, tried skateboarding only lasting three days, played several rounds of Among Us, Jackbox and Scribblio. Lastly, I have definitely spent more than 100 hours on TikTok (not proud of it).”

“Throughout the year, I was focused on building a portfolio for college applications. However, in the process of doing this, I managed to rekindle a passion for art I hadn’t experienced since my late single-digits! I also listened to many new artists while doing art, which allowed me a lot of time to get away from the otherwise stress-inducing school year and year in general. ”
