How has your everyday-life changed? What do you do to fulfill your day?

My daily life has become obviously more boring and claustrophobic, there is a whole lot of difference between not wanting to go out and not being able to do it, but I try to escape with my mind at least. It may seems unreal, but I try to spend my days in the slowest way possible, because in lockdown you can actually find too many things to do. My most important project right now is to finish my work for this important year of school.

What is your biggest fear right now?

I fear two things in particular. The first is about my studies: I am in my third year of university and almost close to finish my journey, and this situation made me skip, postpone or completely cancel some of the most important experiences I could have make. The second one is about my future: I don't know when we will be ready to recover from this period, and I fear that it will be a lot more difficult to enter any job position once we will be over with school. I don't think that it will be easy because there will be a lot of fear, due to the crisis and to all the things that will have to go back to their normal condition. It is like when you don't practice a sport for many months: when you ho back to work out, you feel like you are rusted, and your muscles need time to gain back the strength they had before. Most of all, you need patience and will.
