Ever since I came to the United States, Life was never the same as when I was back at home. I was in charge of my own life, my time and how much I spent. Since I had to rely on my parent's money a semester ago, eating out was not as bad or me because it was not my money that I was spending but after I got a job on campus, I started becoming more independent and started budgeting my money for food, rent and other essentials that I needed. Ever since the spread of COVID-19 became worldwide, eating out or ordering deliveries has become very expensive, so I decided to learn how to cook. I spent my free time, looking up recipes, learning from you tube videos and from some of my roommates who knew how to cook. I noticed how it is so much cheaper than ordering food and you can eat whatever you want with the right ingredients. This helped me make use of my spare time and I gained a useful life skill as a result. Since the lock down period, I tried keeping myself occupied by using Duo lingo, a language learning app and started learning some Indonesian and Mandarin Chinese and used some online talking platforms to random chat with other people around the world to see how they are doing and how they are handling the situation and it is really an eye opener to talk to different people from different countries. My suggestion to everyone is to make use of their time, such as learning a new skill, language or reaching out to your loved ones in this time and also finishing that one Netflix show that you always wanted to.
