- When you get that little grasp of hope after reading the NCHS Courant
- When you’re on your sixth walk of the day with your family
- When you have first period free
- When you’ve absolutely lost track of what day of quarantine it is, and you feel like you have aged 10 years
- When you feel like you can conquer anything because of the weather
- When school gets cancelled for the year
- When your neighbors see you bringing your mirror out to your garden to have a photoshoot for the fifth time
- When you see your friends for the first time in months because you still have to maintain six feet apart
- When you FaceTime your friend for the fifth time that day asking how their life is five minutes down the road
- When the UV index is any where above 5
- When you complete one Chloe Ting 10 minute ab shred
- When you have done absolutely nothing productive for the past two months besides set an all time record for screen time on your phone
- When your mom asks why you keep saying weird new phrases that she doesn’t understand
