Skyler Hau, 19, Engineering Student at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
With ONE word, how do you hope to come out of this quarantine?
"Improved"
What was the effect of COVID-19 on your routine?
"My routine has been affected since about mid-March. I am unable to attend classes and go to campus. I pretty much have to do everything at home."
What is one realization you’ve had about yourself or the world?
"I realize how much I hate being bored and that I miss being at school (sometimes). I also realized that it's hard to stay motivated since you have every excuse to just lie in bed."
What works and doesn’t work while in quarantine? (open-ended)
"For me, I have found it hard to stay consistent with an exercise routine. Sometimes it's easy to blow off a workout. I have gotten better about it since school is almost over though."
In what ways have you shown self-improvement?
"I have improved my cooking skills and have gotten better at disciplining myself to be cleaner. I have also improved my routine and balance of time.
If you had to give your “pre-quarantine” self a piece of advice, what would that be?
I would tell my pre-quarantine self to make sure to balance time between school, leisure, and exercise."
