How have you been during the pandemic and how has it affected you? : I’m not gonna lie… It was tough on me…. I couldn’t see my friends at all for the longest time… I started overeating and gaining some unwanted weight and it really got me into this depressive state…… But at the same time it instilled many good habits in me… Started studying more…. Being on my phone less and I started with a few hobbies!
