Vivian Cheung, 29, Designer, Vancouver, BC
With ONE word, how do you hope to come out of this quarantine?
"Invigorated"
What was the effect of COVID-19 on your routine?
"I started self-isolation since March 13, only going out for groceries about once a week and haven't seen any of my friends in person. I had to cancel a trip to Toronto to visit family."
What is one realization you’ve had about yourself or the world?
"What I realized: Thankful that I am an introvert with introvert hobbies. Extroverts during this time are very whiny and I'm glad I'm not them."
What works and doesn’t work while in quarantine? (open-ended)
"I started to work on April 20, and it's going smoothly because of the nature of my work. Other than not being able to make long/medium-term plans like a vacation, nothing else bothers me too much."
In what ways have you shown self-improvement?
"Working out almost every day, baking, appreciating not spending much on eating out, and feeling obligated to hang out with friends."
If you had to give your “pre-quarantine” self a piece of advice, what would that be?
"Don't wait until a world crisis to connect with friends from all over the world."
