An update: march 17, 2020

All across the globe, people are being urged to stay at home to slow down the spread of COVID-19. 

We're all facing the impacts of the new coronavirus, whether you're a teenager, a parent, a worker, or a grandparent. Most notably, stock markets are suffering, people are rallying at grocery stores, and it's on every headline everywhere you look. 
While many schools and businesses across the United States are closing, more and more people are being urged to stay in their homes and leave only when necessary. And what do you do when you're "stuck" in your home during these next few weeks or months?

The answer for most people is: Netflix and Tiktok. 

Sure, that works. But to us here at Declarasian, we're looking at these extra hours each day as a way to improve our site and our blog. We believe that just because you're at home doesn't mean your time can't still go towards meaningful things. In a time so driven by the internet, it's easier than ever to still have an impact through an online presence. For us, we're taking this time to revamp our site, and deliver some fresh blog content for our readers, as well as interacting more with you guys over our social media. 

The questions that you may have now are: well what can we do?

My advice is: take a break from the Netflix series you're binging and think about what you want to focus on improving about your life. Whether it be studying for your SATs, your APs, or starting a big art project, take initiative to do it now while you have time! 

That being said, I know this is a largely teen audience and I want to say it's okay to take a break and focus on self-love and resting! That's also important, and something we forget to do when we're busy with school and work. 

P.S. if you have time and want to contribute something, send us a declaration of your own! 

​See you soon, 
Carina Sun
