- What have you guys been doing during quarantine?
- Absolutely nothing.
(upbeat music)
- Hey, guys!
My name's Kate, and I'm a senior in high school
in the Bay area.
My Instagram is @kate.mathew,
my Tik Tok is @katemathew,
and I hope you guys have a lot of fun today.

Hey guys, so it's 9:31 in the morning,
and after 45 minutes of just watching Netflix in bed,
I decided to get up 'cause I have a class at 10 o'clock.
So, I had to brush my teeth first,
otherwise I'm gonna feel disgusting.
Now, I'm gonna wash my face and then use
a homemade exfoliating scrub on my lips.
I'm going to go change for online class,
'cause I still get ready.
I think it's just habit more than actually
having to get ready,
but like, I don't know.
I feel better about going to class when I look okay.
And I just got ready.
And since I have class at 10 o'clock,
I am just gonna make some tea, 'cause I am very addicted,
and then I am going to do some stretching.
(soft music)
We are working on my splits,
and I can't even go halfway, so.
I'm not flexible at all,
so the reason I'm stretching is because
I wanted to improve my flexibility.
And I decided that quarantine was the best time to do that.
(upbeat music)
Hey guys, so I just joined my Zoom,
and it's English Zoom right now,
and there are 41 people in it.
And we're all on Zoom together, and our teacher is talking.
We are proofreading our drafts for our essays.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- I'm getting ready to tear apart Kate's essay.
- Okay, so we are in English class right now,
and we have these, what are they called?
Break-out rooms for editing our drafts of our essay, so.
- Which is due today.
- Knowing Kate, she probably has nothing.
- I did all of it, actually.
- That's a lie.
I know that.
- It is 11:30, and I just made some breakfast,
which is just some eggs and some toast.
And then I have a little tiny glass of tea.
This time's Indian Chai that my brother made.
So thank you, Paul.
Okay, right now it is 1:30,
and I am watching Netflix and making some senior letters
for my classmates.

Hi guys, if you're new, go ahead and comment
your favorite thing about quarantine.
(upbeat music)
So, it's lunchtime, even though it's kind of really late.
He is not eating a hot dog, but we are eating hot dogs.
We're also eating Indian food.
It's time for my FaceTime walk.
I go on a walk with my friends outside.
Our school dropped off these two signs,
and Apple Cider for us.
So I thought that was super cute.
I know we can't have a graduation in person,
but this is also really cool.
(soft music)
So we just went on a walk.
It was pretty fun.
We go everyday.
- Everyday, Kate shows up late.
- How's online school?
- Stupid.
- Yeah.
- I mean, they're trying their best, but--
- But some of the classes, you get stuff out of it.
So it's really just good for the classes you like,
and all the classes you don't like,
you don't have any motivation to try in.
- Yeah, motivation and just actually doing your work
is just so much harder.
Currently, I am watching Netflix and suturing.
It might be weird, to be like suturing,
but I just do it 'cause it's satisfying
and keeps my hands busy while I'm watching TV.
I wanna be premed, but this is just something
I do for fun.
But yeah.
This is suturing.
Premed 101.
I got more tea, and my dog is here, too.
His name is Frodo, like from, "Lord of the Rings,"
and he just kinda sabotaged me on the bed, so.
Hello, Frodo.
(upbeat music)
Hi guys, I'm back.
Okay so, after I finished watching Netflix,
I got kind of bored, and one thing that I've been trying
during quarantine is making new foods.
Or like trying new experiments out
with molecular gastronomy,
which is basically chemistry but for food.
Today, we are going to see if we can make a guava foam
using xanthin gum and guava juice.
I have never made this before.
I've made other foods in molecular gastronomy, not this.
So we'll see.
Okay, so the end result is kinda really cool foam
with this canister thing,
and it just kind of goes like that.
Okay, that's pretty good considering this is
my first time.
Hey guys, so it's around 9:15, and I'm gonna go do
a workout with my sister.
Usually my whole family joins me,
but I think my brother's playing video games,
and my parents are busy, too.
Today, Anya and I are going to do
a 10-minute Pamela Reif workout.
We've been doing some Chloe Ting workouts as well,
but today we're gonna try this one.
We just finished the workout, and I'm going to make
a moshes face mask, and then I'm gonna go take a shower.
So, it's 11:30 right now, and my friends and I
are actually on Zoom, and we're playing
"Escape Hall Geo Guesser," where they drop us
in a famous location.
We have to figure out what it is.
Some of them are pretty easy, some of them are kinda hard.
So this is where we were dropped,
we're kinda just looking around.
So we know where we are kind of, but we're just trying
to find the exact location.
(toothbrush vibrates)
Hey guys, so I finished brushing my teeth
and getting ready for bed, so I just wanted to wrap up
this video real quick.
I had so much fun recording today,
and thank you guys so much for watching.
If you wanna see more of me or have any questions
about college apps, or even just wanna say hey,
go ahead and follow me on Instagram or Tik Tok,
and yeah, that'd be super fun.
Bye, guys.
