Brooke Feren

For junior Brooke Feren, among many other students, quarantine is lonely and depressing. 

“I just really miss my friends. I miss seeing the people I hang out with. Sitting in your room all the time is just depressing,” she said.

Feren isn’t alone. In fact, most of the entire world is locked up in their homes, and it’s driving them crazy.

“I understand why we’re being locked up. And I get the whole six feet apart thing . . .  I just wish there wasn’t a bad stigma about spending time with others.”

Living under lockdown conditions can be scary. Not knowing when it’s going to end or whether you have Coronavirus can be even scarier. 

“I’m not as scared for myself as I am for other people,” Feren said. “I have a strong immune system, but I know a lot of other people don’t. I just hope everyone makes it out okay.”
