I was writing something for this that was really depressing and philosophical but I got bummed out. Here is how I'm feeling; excited to get back to school and for lockdown to end; scared for how the world seems to be turning out; anxious thinking about life after graduation. Maybe a tiny bit hopeful. I don't really know how to describe the more than three months we've just spent in lockdown. It's been hard, and there have definitely been moments when I've logged off from class for the day and just had to lie down. But distracting myself helps. I've been reading and watching a lot of tv, funnily enough a lot of Gogglebox.

As I type this my little brother is making mum cackle. I'm so happy that I have a family that I love, but also one that I like! I'm looking forward to this summer, going to the beach and to parties, maybe meeting someone. Hugging my friends and going to the library. Getting coffee. Seeing my grandparents.

I wish I could say something very deep and meaningful about this period but the truth is we've just adjusted. It's been hard, but it's just what you have to do.
