OLYMPIA CHEN
7TH GRADE
Outside COVID
This project is about what I do during the pandemic other than staying at home. It is important to me because this lockdown has changed my life. I used to be able to see my friends everyday when going to school, and now that I am able to go out again I wanted to treasure these short memories that I am able to have.
Many places have shut down due to COVID so we aren’t always able to find a place where we can sit down and just talk. That is why sometimes we go to restaurants or food courts so we’re able to sit there for a while and enjoy our time together. Some of the friends that were able to come out are Jacob, Joshua, Ajay, and Cynthia. Some of them plan on coming out again when one of our friends, Iley, comes back to New York so we can all hang out together.
Food is very important to all of us so we usually like to go to food courts and malls with new restaurants that we’ve never tried before. Even if there isn’t any special food place that we go to, we always eat something when we go out like snacks or a family diner nearby. We also enjoy walking around the neighborhood and window shopping at times. When we go out we like to dress up special since we don’t have the chance to do that anymore because of COVID.
I was hanging out with my friend Ajay and we got ice cream. They were both matcha flavored ice cream with mochi.
What I ate during lunch when I was hanging out with Ajay. It’s beef chops on rice with onions, a mini salad, and garlic bread on the side.
