Having officially been out of quarantine for a couple of months now, and having been in face-to-face school for 3 weeks, life seems to be returning, to some extent, back to normal. This implies that I’m able to not only socialize more often with friends, but I’m also more prone to go out on the […]

QUARANTINE DIARIES 8: ART. ART. ART. 2.0
And we’re back. Yet another semester of studying from home. At this point, zoom classes have become routine, and I, just as everyone else around the world, have had to adjust our routines to this ‘new normal’. Although exercise has been one of the largest shifts in my daily routine, my most important change has […]
QUARANTINE DIARIES 6: ART. ART. ART.
If there’s one benefit to staying at home, the creativity it initiates within me is definitely one of them, as it results in the creation of multiple art pieces. Spending my break times from zoom scrolling through Pinterest, Instagram, and Artsy trying to find inspiration for new art pieces has become an addiction of mine. […]

As I mentioned in my previous post, there are many things that Quarantine refrains you from doing. However, that allows for our mind to be more creative than ever, especially since we’re basically stuck at home and are almost obligated to try new things. Staying at home for almost 22 consecutive days has given me […]
MEDITATIVE COLORING (Q1)
As for the creativity component of CAS this year, I chose to do meditative coloring once a week (every Monday after school). After having attended that class for an entire quarter, I realized how much I enjoy coloring and it’s relaxing effects. Despite the fact that I had friends in the class and we would […]
UN DAY 2019
Last Friday, the 4th of October, we celebrated United Nations Day as a whole school. To say it was a lot of fun is to cut it short. Despite it being a short day (ended at 12:30), it was filled with different activities which overall helped celebrate the different nationalities and cultures that make up […]
