I was thinking about some of the things I’ve learnt during my time in lockdown and I suddenly became curious to know what some of my closest friends would answer if I asked them to pick 5. So I sent the question around the world to my nearest and dearest and here’s what they had to say!

“What 5 things have you learnt during Lockdown?”

Josh — Bath

  1. Online Dating is HARD WORK
  2. No one cares about Brexit anymore
  3. How to make carbonara
  4. Model making is actually boring
  5. How to save money

Osama — Dubai

  1. You’ll never do something unless you set a time to do it in
  2. Motivational speakers are full of sh*t
