    The Sunny Views Podcast - COVID 19 - A Student's Perspective

    Imagine getting a notification saying "don't come to school tomorrow" and thinking it’s just a cheeky two-week break... only to still be stuck at home months later. 😷 In this episode of The Sunny View Podcast, we’re taking a massive throwback to the COVID-19 era. We’re talking about that legendary moment the world shut down, the absolute chaos of pivoting from Minecraft sessions to Zoom classes, and why everyone suddenly started playing Among Us. 🚀 From "humiliation rituals" like recording yourself playing the flute for music class to the struggle of staying awake during 9:00 AM online lectures, we’re diving into how the pandemic actually shaped our lives. We also get into the "juicy" stuff—conspiracy theories, the great toilet paper shortage, and what we’d tell our 2019 selves if we had a time machine. 🕰️ Whether you loved the extra sleep or hated the isolation, this is our unfiltered take on surviving the lockdown years. Thanks!
