Your own personal feelings and thoughts about what is happening right now: The strangest part when thinking about the current situation in the world is that it grew from something many of us joked about into something massive, that affects each and every one of our lives in completely different ways. We're all suffering a reality that nobody anticipated would reach this point of gruesomeness and chaos. What it's like working from home: Working from home I feel was a negative change for me personally. It suddenly became so much more difficult to communicate with teachers and your peers for something that if we were still physically in school, would take less than 3 minutes to talk about at the end of class. I enjoy not having to make the commute, but at this point I would take it if it meant life could feel more normal again.

Learning about the world/your community based on reactions:
I feel in a way as if people across the world's true colors began to show during quarantine. Even those who viewed themselves as extremely cautious and careful and followers of the rules are some of the same people you see acting the most carelessly, and taking the least precautions. While in the other hand, others who might not have anticipated such a sharp change in daily life where everything has suddenly become a danger are embracing the needs of others and doing their part, like frontline nurses and essential workers.
