Today I woke up at 8 o'clock. One and a half hours later than usual. Everyone is complaining about Covid-19 and how hard staying at home away from everyone and doing online work is but I see the whole situation differently.

Because we stay at home to do work I can sleep in and catch up on all the sleep I've been missing due to waking up early to get to school on time. Instead, I can get my 9 hours of sleep easily and still have time to do my work at night and be at school on time.

This situation also relieves me of social pressures like does my skin look ok, what about my hair, who am going to sit with, what am I going to say or how am I going to act. This allows me to just focus on my work and complete it at my own pace but still have time to rest and relax. I've noticed that I'm just a lot happier without having to go out and just feel bad from being tired and all the effort I put into social situations that go nowhere and leave me feeling worse than before.

This is just my point of view, but I genuinely don't want to go back. I know I have to but I'm sort of glad this pandemic happened, not because of the virus side of it but the break that we all finally get.
