A Collection of Sporadic Thoughts From a Student in Isolation: Sonia Stone

 

Brisbane, Australia

 

Day 4: 

Really wish I bought a puppy before all this started. Or any pet, for that matter. 

Day 6:  

Gave up on convincing my parents it’s not too late to get a puppy. Had to settle for naming the house plants instead. I wonder if the neighbours want a dog-walker? 

Day 7: 

*Listens to Tame Impala’s Solitude is Bliss on Spotify* Right in the feels. I’m gonna make a playlist for isolation. Ah, but I can’t beat Spotify’s COVID-19 Quarantine Party Playlist. That’s playlist genius.
