How is the pandemic treating you?

[Northadox]

As a high school senior, I probably should feel a great amount of pain from having perhaps one of the peak moments of one's life stripped away from me - that being a high school graduation, saying goodbye to friends, touring colleges, that whole spiel - but honestly for an introvert like me I've had no qualms with adjusting to the new lockdown lifestyle. It was pretty much how I lived when I wasn't going to school, anyways. I've been greatly productive on my own time too - working on art, dabbling in programming, working and earning some money on the side, and chatting up friends.

I took an AP exam online and it was nuts. No three hour exam testing classroom bullcrap. It was two free response questions. Two! I typed my responses into Notepad and I was able to send it immediately. I feel so sorry for people who had to deal with the stress and anxiety of having to cram for those mega tests. I guess I chose the perfect time to take those classes.

Obviously I shouldn't be thankful that the virus is happening - millions are infected and hundreds of thousands are dead, and I feel terribly sorry for those who lost their lives or the healthy function of their organs to the great error this pandemic has been, but all I can say is perhaps I'm more in tune with the alternative living quarantine than the status quo. Now for people with adult responsibilities and those who value being close to the ones they care about, it's hell, and my condolences go out to those afflicted by it in that way - but for me, I've been rather comfortable.
