Party: Your First Year Writing Class
What Little Joy Got You Through Isolation?
HANNAH SMITH I love having the time to focus on my health. Suddenly I had all the time in the world to cook, work out, and go for walks without having to make time for my hour long trips to uni everyday. After this, I’ll always make time for my wellbeing.

JENNIFER BARNABY I loved the moments , when I could step back and look at the big pictures and see how small problems were and then refocus.
NIKKA TURANGAN Honestly, social media. Seeing people stay connected in the most hilarious but also heartwarming ways have been quite amazing.
CAMERON MACKIE I loved being able to spend a lot more valuable time with my partner and two dogs than I ever got before quarantine, and finally having the time to get back into reading and my creative hobbies again.
EM READMAN The joy of FaceTime. The meaningful moments I have shared behind a screen make me feel like I am together with my family and friends while we were so far apart. MEGHA PRASAD Going for morning walks by myself enjoying the cool April breeze and going for evening walks with my dad discussing any topics that took our fancy that day.
ALICIA TONIO I loved the fact quarantine gave me the opportunity to socially recharge. As in introvert, it was really important for me to finally get time away from everything and focus solely on my own healing.
RAMISA RAYA Self-teaching myself how to make mug cakes and cookies in the microwave. Hint: look for eggless recipes because their textures most replicate the actual oven-baked versions.
ZOE VAIL Going into my front garden and playing with my puppy in the sun because seeing her so happy makes me happy.
SARAH BALMER When I was missing the incidental physical contact that comes along with normal life, my dog was always there for plenty of snuggles and support.
