Senior Emma Lacour recommends downloading the new Animal Crossing game.
“Download Animal Crossing New Horizons,” LaCour said. “It is worth your time and money.”
Senior Emily Shaw recommends doing anything but stay on social media or watch the news.
“Coloring is proven to be beneficial for stress relief, so that is good for the world’s craziness right now,” Shaw said. “I also recommend becoming pandemic pen pals with your friends.”
Freshman Sydney Cooper recommends baking.
“I made my own cookie recipe and did not stop until I got it right without looking it up,” Cooper said. “I really want to be travelling right now, but I’m just travelling from the fridge to the pantry.”
