QUESTIONS:

1. The two things I miss the most are hockey and friends. I miss the freedom of the ice, the feeling of being drained after an intense practice or game. I miss shedding sweat and tears with my teammates. I miss competing and working all-out and putting everything on the line to win games. I miss the feeling of winning and playing music with friends in the car on the way to hockey. I miss the laughs, the fights and the joy. As for friends, why I miss them doesn’t require too much explaining. Human interaction means a lot to me. The best times and memories of my life all include my friends. When I’m with my friends, I’m almost always laughing or enjoying myself in one way or another.
2. I realize that actually going to school is not something I miss much. I find I am learning just as well, if not better, from home. I don’t miss mundane activities like walks or going to the movies. I don’t miss restaurants and I find myself able to cook tasty meals for myself. I don’t miss the snow or the cold or the rain or anything about winter. I don’t miss early nights and late mornings. This quarantine helped me realize that family, friends, school and a source of fun is all I really need. I find myself craving those things, rather than doing things like shopping .
3. I find that the things I miss essentially compose 90% of my standard life out of quarantine. I think bringing back what I miss will be very easy. I can count on my friends and family to always be there, for hockey to come back and for school to become normal again. I suppose it would be helpful to reduce the amount of excursions I usually make for shopping and other events and focus instead on school more instead and try to further improve my grades.
4. Right now, I can keep in touch with friends and family so that I don’t forget about anyone when quarantine is over and I ensure that all my relationships are intact. I can continue to exercise and facilitate my rehabilitation to hockey. Lastly, I should keep working hard from home and perfect my study habits.
