Hi! My name is Roberta. Since beginning quarantine, my routine has completely changed. Hygienic habits have also changed a lot, now we wash our hands more often, sanitize the purchases and often use alcohol in gel and mask. In my house there was never total isolation, because my mother and my father continued working. Everyone, here even got sick at the beginning of quarantine. In the morning routine during the week, I woke up at 5:00 a.m. to go to college. And on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. I trained with my cheerleader team. In the pandemic all activities were suspended. I did not have an hour to wake up or sleep. I spent the day playing The Sims 4. Before five months, the classes returned online in college and in english courses at CLAC. My new study routine stayed: Tuesdays at 13:00 p.m. to at 17:00 p.m., Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. to at 12:00 p.m. ,Friday at 8:00 a.m. to at 17:00 p.m. (worse day). My boyfriend and I spent more time at each other’s house. We created study routines together, because we take the same course in college. Studying became a hobby, because I had nothing else to do. I have social interactions with my college friends only by WhatsApp or online meeting. I have not seen them since march. Personally, I just had contact some times with my best friend who lives near my house. My eating habits changed because I started eating more. I tried to practice physical activities online and I walked a few times with a mask, but I was discouraged. I even got fat. My entertainment was watching movies and series, a lot.

Some moments of quarantine: wearing a mask, trying to exercise, attending CLAC class and studying…
