Social distance to me means staying 6 or more feet away from others in all public places, and staying home as much as possible. My family and I have been taking this as serious as it gets. We’ve been home the whole time, only leaving for essential necessities and work.

While social distancing, my mom has been working from home, my dad has been going to his office a few days a week, and I’ve been working as scheduled. When we are not working, we are at the house playing card games, watching Netflix together, and snacking. While staying home is much fun at my house, I can’t wait to be able to go out and hang out with my friends. 

To maintain social distance with family members and loved ones, we usually group facetime with our family so we can see everyone once a day around the same time so it’s consistent. I feel like it’s easier for me to maintain that social distance with my family members because most don’t live around here, so I don’t have the feeling of wanting to be with them as much as I feel others would. During times like this, I can’t wait to have a family birthday party, cookout, or just a random get together.
