What’s It Like Being Stuck At Home?
It’s been crazy, being stuck at home for the past couple of months. Some have been just fine, others have gone crazy. What will this do to our economy? How long will this last? What will this do to our family and friends? I interviewed a friend of mine and a couple of my family members to see their opinion on the whole thing.
Does your family ever get on your nerves?
“Yes, they’re everywhere.” Madison Hankins (Freshman at Liberty) “Definitely.” Gavin Orf (7th grader at Frontier/my little brother) “Yes, like 30% of the time.” Dara (Dare-uh) (My step-mom)

I usually wake up between 9 and 10 too.” Gavin “Horrible. I get up at like 9 when I used to get up at 5. I fall asleep usually around 1 or 2 a.m.” ...

I’m a little obsessed with it, with conspiracy theories and stuff like that. I listen to a lot of podcasts. I think our leaders are trying to do what’s best for everyone.” Dara...
Are you scared to go out?
“I’m not really scared for myself, but for the people around me.” Madison “A little bit, I just remind myself I need to be careful.” Gavin “At first I was, but not anymore. I think you just need to be aware of your surroundings.” Dara
