For some people, this time off during quarantine will be a much needed break, however, a lot of people are left wondering how to occupy their time.

Math teacher Stephen Quelette conducted a survey for his classes to fill out. Of the students surveyed, 56.7 percent have increased their phone time by 50 percent or more. 

Kyla Nickerson, junior, said she’s almost doubled her phone time. “I’ve definitely been on Snapchat a lot, because I can look at my memories from when we were in school,” Nickerson said, “I miss being at school.” 

Although Nickerson has spent a lot of time on snapchat, she’s also spent much of her time baking. Nickerson said, “I usually bake when I don’t wanna work or if I’m just tired of sitting around.” 

In Business Insider’s article, “Things to do to stay connected and distracted in quarantine”, they suggested that bread making would be a good way to cut down on a staple item from the store.

Nickerson said brownies and cookies are a family favorite, so that’s what she’s been baking the most. 

Junior Andrew Collinsworth has come back to his interest in fishing during quarantine. “I started fishing when I was really little with my dad and I got really into it a few years back when I saw a couple people on YouTube doing it,” Collinsworth said. 

The best time to go fishing, Collinsworth said, is sunrise and sunset. He likes these times because it’s relaxing and there’s a lot more excitement when you catch something. 

In Westerville, there are many parks to fish at including: Alum Creek, Hoover Reservoir, Sharon Woods, and Blendon Woods. 

Freshman Liam Gubernath, said he’s been playing Xbox and basketball. “I like to play Xbox because I get to talk to my friends and still connect with them even if I can’t see them,”Gubernath said.
