Quarantine:

  • What you miss most about not being at school: The spontaneous laughing fits and lighthearted conversations with classmates. You don’t realize how much the little things mean until you don’t have them anymore.

  • What did you learn during the quarantine: There’s 7,327 grains in a cup of rice!
