No – I changed jobs in June, so I started my job after the pandemic already started. I work 100% from home. It’s certainly different from what I’m used to in comparison to my previous job, but because I started my job like this, there’s not much to say in terms of how it would be otherwise.
Earning an income and adding value to my team.
How do you continue to build relationships with the people you work with?
Casual weekend socials.
It is hard to say because nobody knows when it will end, so I cannot answer how I’d like to come out of it.
My group of best girlfriends and my boyfriend; Video chat with my family and friends abroad.
Working entirely from home. I prefer it because I’m able to have a better work/life balance, so I’d like to continue to do so.
Getting a well-paying and stable job and obtaining a new residency permit in June.
House parties! You’re able to have fun and dance with friends and music even without nightclubs.
The hairdressers!
In the park with my friends. But let’s see what colder weather brings

Speak with your loved ones as often as possible to maintain the semblance of normalcy.
