Another day, another human of Barrington! Today, we have freshman Sophia Gordon talking about the many different sides to quarantine – both the ups and the downs. Read on to hear more about her quarantine experience.“Quarantine has affected me in many different ways, both positive and negative. One positive of quarantine is that I was able to spend a lot more time with my family then I usually do, and had more time on my hands in general. Having this much time at my house affected me because I wasn’t able to go to school, or out anywhere, and because of this I had to find new things to do, like bike riding and baking. Biking is one of the new hobbies that I enjoyed, and my family and I would go biking on different trails together. One happy story or moment for me was getting to hang out with my friends for the first time since having to be on strict lockdown. This was really fun. I got to see them for one of their birthdays and it was so nice to all get together again. This moment stands out to me because before I got to hang out with them in person, we would just have to FaceTime if we wanted to see each other. So it was really nice to all get together. But, some negative things about quarantine was having to cancel my family spring break trip to Washington D.C., and not being able to go to school and see my friends as often. Now that quarantine is over I am so excited to see all of my friends and go back to school! I am excited for this because when we go back to school, not only can I see my best friends, but also the friends that I wasn’t able to over quarantine.”Sophia Gordon, freshman.
