let’s chat | coronavirus

It’s got to the point now where I am taking ‘which hand sanitiser am I?’ quizzes on buzzfeed, yeah, I really hoped it wouldn’t get to that. (in case you were wondering, I am rose vanilla, how about you?)

So, in case you guys didn’t know I was due to take my GCSEs this year, but they have been cancelled as has everything else exciting that was due to happen this year! I can’t help but be disappointed that I probably won’t have a prom, I won’t get to have a yearbook, I won’t have the stress of sitting exams, but I understand completely that there are more important things to focus on now and exams needed to be cancelled to ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing.

So, I’ve said goodbye to my friends of 5yrs, some who I may never see again as they’re moving to different colleges and sixth forms, I myself am staying at my sixth form presuming I get the grades to get back into it, which considering it’s a grammar school, will be hard! I’ve been calling my friends on Zoom all the time, just trying to keep in contact with them as much as possible during these (sorry to have to use this massively overused word) unprecedented times, many of my friends will be staying at sixth form with me thankfully, but the ones who are leaving I’ll miss greatly.

Now onto something else which has been ruined by corona is my skin haha, i don’t know about you guys, but is anyone else’s skin just breaking out loads because of corona? I don’t mean tiny pimples, I literally have horrible breakouts on my whole face, and I had acne before so these breakouts have made it worse, I’m actually glad now that we can’t leave the house because honestly I don’t want anyone to see my face, even Snapchat filters won’t clear my skin now haha, please tell me I’m not the only one this is happening to?

So, another thing I’ve struggled with is not talking to people in real life, I am massively extroverted and I thrive off other people, so being stuck indoors is boring, boring and boring for me, I have my sister, parents, grandma and my cat for company but I am still bored which sounds so ungrateful but I am honestly just saying it how it is, I know some introverts who told me that they are loving quarantine and that’s great for them, and I am happy for them! But for me, I am used to being with crowds of people at school, at volunteering, and I have a big family too, so basically I am a people person so quarantine is not for me!

I am sorry that this post has just been a rant about negatives of coronavirus and I am sorry to have to have spoken about myself for the entirety of this post, but I just needed to say my little rant to someone and hopefully someone is reading this thinking ‘omg this is me’, if that person is you, comment down below and we can rant together xx

How are you finding quarantine/lockdown? love it or loathe it, let me know 🙂

Love
