What made me smile today? What made you sad?
Today what made me smile was talking to friends. I also ordered clothes online and they came today which made me happy. One thing that made me sad is not being able to see my friends in person and missing my family in Vermont.

The best thing that has happened to me this week was realizing how I have been dealing with some personal problems and realizing that I have a great support system and parents who listen to me.

Write about a place that you fell in love with or holds a special place in your heart.
Somewhere that holds a special place in my heart is the gymnastics gym I go to. It holds so many memories for me because I have been going there since I was around 4 or 5. It is the perfect place for me to let go of anger and other emotions. One of my favorite things my mom always says to me is "take it out on the mat". If I'm mad or upset or I've just had a bad day going to gymnastics always makes it better.

My favorite way to spend the day outdoors would be…
My favorite way to spend the day outdoors is going in the pool with my family/ friends or going on a hike.

What do you think the environmental impact of all of us potentially being indoors for these 6 weeks may cause?
I think the environmental impact is good. There is less car emissions and factories aren't pumping smoke in the air.

I really wish others knew this about me…
I really wish that people knew that I'm not a quiet person. When people take the time to get to know me they'll understand that I'm bold and I can be a lot of fun when I want to be. Sometimes people just don't take the time to get to know a person because they think they know everything about them.

How has not being in school now for a few weeks impacted your social wellness?
Not being in school for a few weeks has changed how I look at things and it has changed how I use my time. It has made me realize that I spend too much time alone. I don't spend enough time with my family and even just communicating with my friends. Not being in school has also pushed me to reach out to people that I miss and that I haven't talked to in a while.

What is the best advice someone has ever given you? Furthermore, what impact did this have on your life?
The best advice someone has ever given to me wasn't words, it was actions. My great grandpa was an amazing person. He was always doing something for someone else and he had this circle of happiness that always followed him around. He always knew how to make you laugh. I can't remember any specific things he said to me since it has been so long but the way he lived his life was advice in itself.

What is the role of exercise for you in the next 6 weeks? What is it going to look like?
For me the role of exercise is to keep myself in shape for when I go back to gymnastics. My goal is when I do end up going back I want to have not lost too many skills and be strong enough to pick up where I left off. As far as what it is going to look like, my coaches have made several videos of follow along workout and I have a packet full of exercises and stretching to do.

What do you think about all of the sport suspensions/closures (professional, collegiate, and school athletics) will impact our country, community, school and/or self?
I think all of the sport suspensions/closures are disappointing for people involved in the sport (my gymnastics season ended early) and also disappointing for people who like to watch professional sports. It can also affect the people who make money off of sports like companies who rely on sponsorships in commercials for sports games.

What do you think of social distancing? Do you think this is a good way of curbing the virus? What changes have you or will you make during this time?
Although social distancing isn't fun and we all just want to see our friends when you really think about it, social distancing is the only way this will be over. It's the only way that the virus will stop spreading so I think it is extremely important to do it. One big change I have had to make is thinking of ways to keep myself busy. It has been very easy to get bored lately.

What does growing older mean to you?
I have been upset with the thought of growing older for a couple years now because when you are younger life is perfect and you have no cares in the world. As you get older everything gets real and you cant be so carefree.

How do you maintain balance in your life? For example, are there any changes you would like to or NEED to make? Have the last 5 weeks changed your views? How does it relate to Intellectual Wellness?
I think the last few weeks have made me realize what is important to me. Being stuck at home has made me realize what I miss and stuff that I don't miss, things that I don't enjoy. To maintain balance I make sure to keep up with things I enjoy and have a solid routine.

Are you addicted to social media? Assess yourself honestly and explore how it impacts your life and intellectual wellness and what changes, if any, you can make.
I feel like addicted might be a bit of a strong word. I wouldn't say I am addicted but I think I am on it more than I should be. Seeing a ton of perfect people living perfect lives gives me unrealistic expectations for my appearance and how I do things.
