Accounts of daily life for senior at Wasatch High School.

I am an 18‐year‐old senior at Wasatch high school. I would say my life is pretty boring even before all of the Covid‐19 stuff started to happen. I have never really been the type to go out of my way for something. I keep a pretty consistent Schedule and so if I can I won't break it. I would say that with in this my life is very boring and very underwhelming. Covid‐19 to me has always been just an annoyance for me nothing that made my whole life change in a flash. Everybody else for the most part can't see their friends can hangout with them but for me its different. I have my computer that I have spent quite a lot of money on (over $2000) and it keeps me connected to my friend. I play games with them or I just talk because that what we do. This is what we would do anyway and so it isn't much of a change from what we did before except we get to play more games then before. I have always been connected to my friends at all times and I don't think that I wont ever not be connected. Especially sense the internet is just a big thing now we have it literally wherever we go. That thing in our pocket has changed everything. Every other plague that has happened was different because everyone had to go out to go to their job but not now. We live in a much different world now. That little phone in your pocket is 100X better than the computers they did the moon launch with. So now most jobs can be done online. Just that one world online changes everything because now we can do things like home isolation and we can stay away from each other. Yes they're the jobs that a required like store employs but other jobs can be done remotely with a computer. Just like school this could be the new wave where everything is done online and everything is done not in person but through a screen.
