Quarantine<\/p>\n
Here’s what quarantine and isolation was really like for two WSU students. <\/p>\n

I tested positive for COVID a few weeks ago along with the rest of my friends, and we have all recovered.<\/p>\n
During my two weeks of quarantine in my off-campus home, I took advantage of all the time I had to focus on school. I was able to get ahead in some of my classes because I did not have work, so that was pretty nice.<\/p>\n
It got a little boring and anxiety-provoking at times because I like to be with my friends all the time. While I wasn’t able to see them in person, we did have group facetime meetings so that was nice.<\/p>\n
The quarantine flew by, and looking back on it now, I honestly forget it even happened because it was so \u201ceasy\u201d and really not that big of a deal like everyone makes it out to be.<\/p>\n
As long as you take care of yourself and stay in communication with your professors, you will be fine and there is nothing to worry about<\/p>\n
I believe most people make this quarantine a bigger deal than it has to be. This line of thinking tends to scare students, when in my experience it was essentially a two-week break to catch up on school and focus on myself!<\/p>\n

I was isolating in my house with my roommate, who also tested positive. When I first found out I tested positive, I was disappointed that I would not be able to leave my house for two weeks.<\/p>\n
I did experience some of the main symptoms, and I was very tired and found myself bored sometimes while being at home for so long.<\/p>\n
However, being at home with nothing to do made it a lot easier to focus on classes, personal growth and hobbies. My professors were also very understanding and considerate regarding class work.<\/p>\n
When my quarantine finally ended it felt weird, but good to get back into the world.<\/p>\n
