Covid-19 enveloped the whole world that brought
vacation in the schools. I was on cloud nine to spend
the free-time after such hardworking days; the most
needed thing in a
student’s life for sure.
Now, no more dull
and drab routine, no
classes, no homework
and no exams but
euphoric nights and
beaming mornings
would embrace me.
I started the days
desirably, I would sleep
at the time, I wanted
to and joyously wake up at the time, I wished to. I would spend my day
watching all the seasons and movies, I craved to watch
before but couldn’t because of hectic studies.
I realized that I wasn’t as energetic and lively as I was
before. The next day wasn’t spent as carefree as before
whilst I decided to make various goals and acquire
them as I might not have such an opportunity later on.
I dived into the ocean of reading to quench the thirst
of reading. J.R.R. Tolkien and Paulo Coelho were my
companions in isolation. I also started the South-Korean
Comic book series from the app Webtoon. I managed
to spend my time precisely. I pursued the skills, I never
imagined I would ever have got hold off such as the art
of Origami and learning a new language.
One of the most exhilarating things, which I did was
considering myself as Rapunzel from Tangled and
then doing all the piece of works which she did while
spending her time in the castle solely as she had a whole
song on it, the activities included adding a new and
creative painting on my wall, baking some scrumptious
chocolate-chip cookies, sewing appealing dresses,
reading fascinating books and of course brushing my
long and lovely hair!
As I wasn’t going to school, I had lack of activity, so I
decided to start exercising, this helped me in a great
deal to stay as fit as a fiddle. Meanwhile, our school
started the E-learning project to cover-up the hiatus,
as not studying for such a long period of time would
be a squander of time. As the situation got lamentable
because of the fatal pandemic disease COVID-19,
looking the people who weren’t even able to buy their
basic commodities and for them each day seemed to
be a strenuous mission for their survival, made me feel
bewailed and helpless towards them. Subsequently, I
with the help of my family distributed ‘Grocery Bags’
to the deprived people in my surroundings. The smile
which appeared on the faces of those people was
surely priceless.
These isolation days opened the gate ways to ponder
on the things which I never considered very important.
However, I tried to do everything to spend my time
productively but I have realized the worth of my regular
school timings. My naughty friends, their pranks and
giggling, my teachers and their magical works, the joys,
the sorrows, the surprises, and the disappointments
are the things, I yearn for in the quarantine. It wasn’t
the matter of some hours in the school nevertheless;
it does play a vital role in my life, from the studies to
socializing. May the time fly and everything return to
the normal.Daima Arshid VII Red
