1. "How has Covid impacted your life the most?"

Georgia (High School Senior)- "Track. Because my season got cancelled and meets got cancelled, and it is hard to meet my achievements. My plans got changed and I have had to try and overcome the challenge of meeting college coaches without having meets."

Grace (College Sophomore)- "It took a big toll on my mental health and impacted my state of mind."

2. "What is your social life like during the pandemic?"

Georgia- "Hanging out with people has not changed a lot, but there are not a lot of social and school functions that I feel I have missed out on. We cannot go to football games, the movies, parties...."

Grace- "I get out of the house a lot. I traveled to see my friends that live out of state. I was still very sociable despite the strict guidelines for public interaction.

3. "What do you do for fun?"

Georgia- "I play music and write songs. I like to workout and hangout with friends. I like to box; it's a new hobby I picked up. I like spending time with my family... sometimes"

Grace- "I like to take pictures. I by disposable cameras or polaroid film to document my college adventures, my young years."

4. "What is your favorite zoom encounter from online school?"

Georgia- "I hate zoom"

Grace- "While my profesor was talkingin in multimedia, students would be in the chat having their own conversations unrelated to the fact that he was teaching."

5. "Do you feel that you have learned new things about yourself because of facing the pandemic?"

Georgia- "I have learned that I do not like being inside. I do not think that I learn as well outside of the classroom. It is much easier to learn in a focused environment with other students."

Grace- "No."

6. "What are ways you socialize with other people while maintaining social distancing?"

Georgia- "Hahaha, I don't.... just kidding ;)..... I wear a mask, but I do not hangout in large groups of people."

Grace- "I have never been a touchy or affectionate pereson, so it whas not been too hard for me to keep my distance from people. I do not hug or touch other people; I just talke to them."

7. "Is online school better for college or high school?"

Georgia- "College because high school doesn't know how to handle their shit."

Grace- "College because professors are abel to make their own cirriculum and have more freedom with online class fit to them. High school teachers have to follow a specific structure for online school adn that seems to create problems."

8. "What is your favorite quarantine meal?"

Georgia- "I like to make a whole batch of cookies and eat half of them one night and the other half for breakfast in the morning."

Grace- "My sisters and I got bubble tea a lot: chai tea with boba."

9. "What new acitivities or hobbies have you picked up while in quarantine?"

Georgia- "I started drinking orange juice everyday."

Grace- "I tried to have a new hobby. I tried embrodiery/needlepoint, but I failed miserably at it."

10. "Was quarantine different than you expected it would be?"

Georgia- "Yes, I did not expect it to be this big of a deal."

Grace- "Yes; I thought that the world was going to shut down forever and I would always be traooed in my house, but then everybody flattened the curve and things got better... more bearable."

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
