College applications was for me really stressful not just because of the many deadlines and documents I had to procure but rather, it made me reflect on my life and realized how inadequate and how inexperienced I am at 17 years of age. I feel like I should have participated more during high school it made me feel bad about my unaccomplished self.

One upside to this pandemic is that I get to play piano whenever I want to. Music, for me, is comforting to my soul and being able to play what I want, when I want, gives me a sense of freedom that I don't get from being inside all the time

My prayer life has flourished over this pandemic and sometimes I feel like a monk since my connection with Him has been so strong when I'm in physical isolation. He really comforted me during my times of need and helped me make hard decisions over the years.
