Continuing with our series the “Humans of Barrington”, we have freshman Sravya Dontharaju talking about how frustrating Zoom and excessive screen time can be. Read on to hear more about this human’s quarantine experience. “To me, the pandemic experience has been frustrating. Right before quarantine, I started to take badminton lessons. In my opinion, I was improving a lot with just two months of lessons. But of course, I had to stop taking lessons and I’m really sad and kinda mad that I didn’t get to continue that. I feel like if I had continued lessons, I would have improved so much. It would have been really great if corona didn't happen and I could have practiced more. One good side I guess is the fact that my art improved a lot with all the extra time I had. I also got into new genres of music so that was fun and it helped curb my boredom. I really felt frustrated because a lot of things got put on hold and it felt kinda unfair. Uh, I hate zoom. I hate that we have to stare at a screen for seven hours and it just gives me a headache. So I guess I kinda want to go back to school, but at the same time school kinda sucks so whatever. It’s not that I hate the teachers, and I know they’re doing their best, but I honestly just hate the curriculum. As for the current state of America: we are collectively sucking as a country. After spending all this time at home, I think I had some time to really think about our world and just question it.” Sravya Dontharaju, freshman. Interviewed by Emily Won.
