Students discuss plans after quarantine

April 29, 2020

All of us can’t wait for this pandemic to be over and to be free of quarantine. Due to self-isolation, there hasn’t been much opportunity to get out of the house, do routine activities and be with friends. Here are some of the first things students plan to do when the quarantine ends:

“As soon as quarantine is over, I am going to go to the gym,” Micah Wilson, mass communication senior, said. “I’ve missed being able to do my normal routines. It’s been difficult to be consistent with working out so I’ll be glad to get back in there.

Kayla Parnell, nursing sophomore, said, “[I will] probably have a lot of people over for dinner since I’ll be married before the end of quarantine and my fiancé and I love to cook [and] host. [That] or get my hair cut and my nails done. I’ve been wanting a haircut for a while, and I can’t get my nails done during the semester because of nursing school, so as soon as salons open I’m using my opportunity for some pampering.”
