This situation is surely very tough for everyone. It was and is still incredible that, at any moment, we were overwhelmed by this huge problem that changed our life deeply, by forcing us to overturn our habits. The first lockdown was for me truly hard but is more painful to think that, a year later, this state is unsolved. I try to live in the most normal way possible. I mean, I try to keep myself busy and focus on productive activities, like study or work out. Honestly, it’s not always easy to have the motivation for that, but I try. Or at least, if I’m too weary, I watch a film or chat with some friends. Despite all, I’m hopeful. The vaccination is in progress and, even if it isn’t very fast, little by little we’ll get through this. Just yesterday my grandma got the vaccine.

During the first lockdown, I felt well because I spent a lot of time with my family. I’m lucky because I have a big house and a lot of open space nearby. I used to wake up at 9 o'clock, I had breakfast, attended 2 or 3 lessons daily and then I spent the rest of the morning with my dad, my uncle and my godfather while they were working.  After lunch, I started playing video games and I usually finished at 5 o'clock to spend time with my father and my uncle who told me amazing stories while they were having their aperitifs. After dinner, I used to video chat for about an hour with my friends and at 9 p.m.  I always called my cousin who lives in Padova and his friend who lives in Olbia to play video games at night. Finally, to make up for all the time that I hadn’t been able to spend with my friends, I spent the whole summer from the morning up until  3 a.m. with them.

During the lockdown I didn’t feel well, I think like everyone else. I spent my days watching movies and thinking how much I missed those little things that we took for granted every day, like going out with friends, hugging those people that we love, or seeing our relatives. During the lockdown, we lost all this, and personally, as a student, I also lost my desire to learn, because I don’t feel comfortable behind a screen. Besides this, students are growing weary, and I think that the saddest thing is that the teachers don’t realize it. We have been living like this for more than a year now, and I think that it isn’t easy for anyone, but there has never been a teacher who has stopped for an hour and has asked us how we were, who realized that we have been  losing all desire to do anything and now we don’t have the strength to continue in this way, and what is sadder is that no one will ever stop for us, so in the end, we are only the future, right?

I think that the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown turned all our lives around. Honestly, at first the situation didn’t affect me much. I liked staying at home. But as time passed, I realized how much all the things that until then I had always taken for granted, such as school, friends and going out, were important. I’ve experienced how much being actually in school is important, because I realized that online school is much worse. Online school had some advantages, for example I could sleep more in the morning, but I felt more stressed than when I went to school. Since I spent so many hours in front of the computer, my eyes and my head often hurt.  I think the only luck we had was to have  technology, so we didn’t completely lose contact with one another and the students can continue to learn.  I only hope that this whole situation will end soon.

The moment when I first heard about the schools’ closing, I was so excited and wasn’t so aware of the reason why, but for me it was fine. They told us that there were some problems in the schools, but no one mentioned the Covid-19. In that period I just heard about it on TV but I thought it wasn’t so dangerous and that it just would have stayed in China; well, I was wrong. During the first days of “holidays” I was happy and relaxed because I spent the days playing the playstation and skateboarding with my brother. But suddenly they announced the lockdown, and since then I started to be more frightened. After a while, the school started to do online lessons, which were quite a disaster considering that it was improvised. I didn’t really felt so bad because I was on video calls with my friends everyday and I worked out really often. Then, the fourth of may arrived and so freedom too, we all met (with the masks of course) and we started to be together and have fun again, luckly.

The first coronavirus lockdown took place in March 2020. We were told by the news that a global pandemic had just started and we were forced to stay at home. At first, I hadn’t realised the importance of what was happening, so staying at home wasn’t a big deal for me, of course, I sometimes got bored, but I always found things to keep me occupied and pass the time. I experienced new activities like painting and sewing. I also tried making sheets of paper out of old ones and I enjoyed it very much.

I got to spend more time with my family, we watched a different movie every night, we cooked too!

When I wasn’t with my family I was in my room watching videos or video chatting with my friends, that was the only way we could see each other. Despite the situation, I enjoyed staying at home

The lockdown was one of the most boring period in my life,I was sad and tired all the time,specially when that time started.It was really stressful that we couldn’t live as we were used to .I was scared of being infected by all the tragedies that were heard on the news in fact I disinfected everything before touching it. I was passing the time by watching movies, TV series, playing video games,listening to music or by training. after some time I began to despair because I did not know what to invent until I realized that you could go out to take the dog out, i used to go out 5 or 6 times a day just to bring the dog because i could no longer stay indoors.when the quarantine was over, I set myself free and went to the beach to recover

Before 2020 I always thought that big changes in a short time could only happen in films. Well, one year later I can say that my life changed completely overnight last year.
I was sitting on my sofa and the program that I was watching was interrupted by breaking news. From that moment, my entire country was in lockdown. Although it happened one year ago I can still remember all my emotions. I was feeling hopeful at first because I didn’t think it was so serious but then the two weeks that we had to stay at home became seventy long and painful days. Furthermore, I felt like my life had stopped. I wasn’t in my life anymore. I didn’t feel motivated to study or to do what I liked the most. I couldn’t smile anymore because I was alone in my bedroom thinking about what was happening outside my comfort zone. After one year I’m in the same situation. I’m losing the best year of my life with my friends and my family. No one will give me back all the happiness that I lost during this time but I’m sure that when this situation is over, we will all feel good again but with a new awareness. We have to live the best moments in the present enjoying the little things because anything could happen to change our lives forever.

The first lockdown was very difficult for me because I couldn’t do lots of things like going to school and hanging out with my friends. Now I miss the old routine that I had before the virus broke out. During lockdown I had to stay at home every day for three months, I didn’t enjoy it and I felt alone. I had lost a lot of my passions and interests. Before the lockdown I used to do sports, visit my grandparents and stay with my friends. However, during the period of lockdown, I did things like talk with my parents and my brother more and I made a lot of video calls with my friends, just to spend time together and enjoy their company. So the lockdowns that have come with coronavirus have changed my thoughts and my mood and now I am more aware of the importance of our lives. Overall I didn’t like my experience in the first lockdown.

This has been a particular year, it has brought and taken away many things with it, positive and negative. Tears, loneliness, fear, but also so much awareness and so much affection, it has made me more conscious of myself and I have learned not to take anything for granted. This year has taken away things that were invaluable to all of us: freedom, social contact and physical affection with the people we love most. Many of us, including myself, didn’t give much importance to these factors before the pandemic until they could no longer have a place in our daily lives. I can’t say that this year has been the most beautiful of my life, but I don’t even consider it to have been a waste, it will surely be a year that with its experiences and its events that I will remember now and forever. The quarantine helped me with self-respect, sometimes putting myself ahead of others to try to feel good, and I learned to love myself with all my perfect imperfections, which I didn’t always do in the past.

The first lockdown started on 8th March 2020, which was one of the worst periods in my life. I was feeling very sad, bored and lonely. During the time spent at home, I had become a very lazy person, who no longer recognized herself. In fact, I lost interest in doing a lot of activities that I liked before. In those months I attended video lessons and I spent more time with my family. Every night I video called my friends, using ‘ House party’, a social media app that I believe was used by every teenager in Sassari. I was very nervous, because I don’t live in a big house with a garden, but I live in a flat near the center of the city, without a terrace. I wanted to go out, also for a walk, and I especially wanted to see my friends and my boyfriend. It was a very difficult period that changed me and made me learn the importance of liberty.

During the lockdown last year I felt many different emotions: I felt anxious, sad, angry,  rarely happy, always tired due to sleeping problems and I had mood swings most of the time.

The consequences of this led to a change in my relationships with people and time: it seemed that time had stood still: each day was the same as the previous one. School was and still is more stressful than before, we are constantly under pressure both because of the pandemic and  the amount of homework and study. Online lessons are stressful and it is often difficult to understand due to connection problems. But in the first lockdown, we were hopeful that it would soon be over, now we have almost lost that expectation too.

I believe the only good thing is that now we can appreciate things that once seemed trivial to us, like a simple hug from someone.

During the quarantine, I had both good and bad days, because I was very stressed and sad at times, while on other days I was happy and relaxed. My family and I tried to spend our days in tranquility and with a carefree attitude, so as not to make the situation even more strenuous. I also kept in contact with a lot of my friends through video calls, in fact, our relationship has improved a lot and we have become  closer. Thanks to the coronavirus lockdown, I have also improved my relationship with my parents, talking to them about everything and letting off steam. I also tried to take some time to devote to myself by doing what I like, such as watching TV series, making sweets, singing happy songs and playing with my cat. We were locked in the house for three months, and in those three months I thought a lot and I think I have matured as a result of that.

When the first lockdown was announced, last year, I was so happy because I thought it was going to be like a short vacation. I had time to stay with my family, to work out, to play the piano and to watch films, but after a while, the lockdown didn’t end and I started missing my classmates, school, my girlfriend, my friends and my relatives. It was very difficult and I felt lonely, always being at home stressed me out and made me argue with my family. I wanted to go out and hug the people I love, but I couldn’t, after a few months I could only see them from a distance. I was scared of infecting my family, so I haven’t had physical contact with anyone for a long time and because of this lockdown, I started isolating myself from others.

The situation now is not different, I just hope it will be over soon so that people can stop suffering or die, we can do it.

My first lockdown which was fun but also a bit boring started on March 8, 2020. I remember that I had just returned from England and my father was leaving Sardinia to return to Arabia. I was very disappointed but the government had decided to close the airports and he had to go. They were difficult months for me and my mum and my father had contracted coronavirus at that time, but I only found out at the end, when he had recovered. Even so, I spent those 4/5 months happily, I had time for myself, I cooked a lot and of course, I studied. I remember when my mother and I listened to the news every day and it was a very difficult situation. Currently, the situation is better than it was last year and I hope it will end soon.

On the 8th of March last year we all found ourselves in a new situation, without knowing what was going on or how to act. Suddenly our lives had completely changed and the initial two weeks that  we were supposed to be at home, became two months. I remember I felt very sad and powerless, because I couldn’t see my family and friends and I spent the days making video calls to them and trying not to get bored, even though it was impossible. Some days the neighbours sang songs out of their windows, and in these moments I realized how much I missed  normal life and the simple actions like hugging my friends or going to the bar. But in a way, I felt even calmer than I am now, because I had the hope that everything would be over soon. Now it’s been a year and I’m tired of this situation

One year ago we got into a strange and quite a bad situation: the coronavirus pandemic. No one could have expected it and our lives changed quickly.
We were forced into lockdown for 2 months. We couldn't do anything or see anyone except our parents. In the beginning we were happy because we thought that it was a sort of holiday from school. The days passed and we started to get bored, we always called each other because we didn't know how to spend our time.
I felt like all the days were the same: I got up, attended online lessons, had lunch, watched a series, had dinner, and continued to watch movies.
I was pretty sad, I missed my friend and normal life.
Now we are more or less in the same situation. I miss normality and I hope that everything will return to the way it was in the past.

The lockdown that took place in 2020 wasn't a good period for me because I couldn’t see my friends, my aunts, uncles or, my grandparents.

It was very stressful because I couldn’t leave my home to go to school, go out with my friends or even to go to the cinema to watch a film.

Thinking about last year and our online lessons, I think that teachers didn’t understand then and still do not understand, the situation that we are in and the  difficulties we may be facing in order to study their subjects.

During this year lots of things have changed and so have I. In the first lockdown I was sad because I couldn't see my friends, my family and my girlfriend, or travel or do all those little things that I was used to doing. I made lots of video calls and played  computer games with them, but it wasn't the same. I was really stressed because of that situation, but I experienced beautiful moments with my family. School wasn't as stressful as it is now, and I had a lot of time for myself. Now I feel less stressed if I can't see my friends or if I can't travel and do the things that I used to do before, because  I've come to accept this situation. However, school work is extremely stressful and I would like, slowly, to have my old life back, even if now I'm not living that badly.
