Along with the anxiety that came with the rising cases of COVID, we were stuck at home with nothing to do. I couldn't hang out with my friends which made me sad. It was most life-depleting to look back on this especially when I realize that we have been like this for over a year now.

It was also our first time trying out the online set-up. It is life-giving because this was the start of my experiences with my classmates and I was still very excited to start school during this time. ]]> 2021-03-26 01:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/danielleliwanag1/5fc8t25ht34pfumu/wish/1355579501 danielleliwanag1 https://padlet.com/danielleliwanag1/5fc8t25ht34pfumu/wish/1355591863 I never expected online school to be so stressful so I was especially overwhelmed by the work we had to do, especially after so many months of not going to school. It was really life-depleting because everything felt uncontrollable and I was so close to giving up. Luckily, I was able to overcome midterms and finals week for the past 3 quarters. ]]> 2021-03-26 01:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/danielleliwanag1/5fc8t25ht34pfumu/wish/1355591863 danielleliwanag1 https://padlet.com/danielleliwanag1/5fc8t25ht34pfumu/wish/1355592998 Last October, our dog Charlie passed away. He has been with us for 8 years and was the most loving and gentle dog we've ever met. It was life-depleting to see him in that state but hopefully now he is resting and eating as many treats as he can. 🐾]]> 2021-03-26 01:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/danielleliwanag1/5fc8t25ht34pfumu/wish/1355592998 danielleliwanag1 https://padlet.com/danielleliwanag1/5fc8t25ht34pfumu/wish/1355599167 I was very happy when I got my grades for the first semester because it was higher than I expected it to be. It made me realize that even while I encountered challenges in my classes, I was able to overcome them and even get good grades! It was a very life-giving moment because it made my parents proud and I got the motivation to put the same efforts for the next semester. ]]> 2021-03-26 01:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/danielleliwanag1/5fc8t25ht34pfumu/wish/1355599167 danielleliwanag1 https://padlet.com/danielleliwanag1/5fc8t25ht34pfumu/wish/1355602197 Although I was hesitant at first, I decided to start selling my crochet works online. I thought that this was just going to be a hobby of mine but many people showed interest in my works so I started selling them. It was nice seeing people appreciate a hobby that I enjoy. This experience definitely taught me a lot on responsibility and effort. ]]> 2021-03-26 01:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/danielleliwanag1/5fc8t25ht34pfumu/wish/1355602197
