The Coronavirus pandemic has led to us being shut within the confines of our homes, without having any opportunity to go out and engage in social interaction. Describe how you spent the first lockdown period and what you learnt from it.

Since the announcement of this lockdown, most of the engineering entrance exams have been postponed, which is actually a blessing in disguise because I get more time to prepare for these exams!
– I get to spend some quality time with my family because both my brother and father are working from home now. We’ve actually bonded quite a lot during this period that we spent together, as one family.
– All this extra time at hand got me pumped to learn a new skill. I quite honestly love coding and computers in general so I’ve been taking courses on topics like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and they’re super interesting! They’ll also come in handy when I’m building my portfolio.
– I have also been using this extra time to catch up with the TV shows and read books that I’ve forever been wanting to! Shows like The Big Bang Theory and Breaking Bad are awesome!
So, contrary to the popular opinion that this lockdown period is just unproductive and boring, I think it really depends on how you spend your time. Being active on social media can help spend time but it’s obviously going to get boring after a while. I would highly recommend that you pick up a new skill or do something you’re really interested in!
