Hi, my name is Melissa Kim, and I’m a undergraduate student at Arizona State University enrolled in HST 494. The date is February 21, 2021, and the time is 8:33 p.m., and I’m speaking with Annika Lauer. I wanted to ask you a question about your pandemic experience, but before I do, I would like to ask for your consent to record this response for the COVID-19 Archive. The COVID-19 Archive is a digital archive at Arizona State University that is collecting pandemic experiences. Do I have your consent to record your response and add it to the archive with your name?

Yes

Thank you. First, can you tell me your name, age, race and where you live?

Annika Lauer 0:39
Okay, my name is Annika Lauer, I am 20 years old, I am white. I live in Tempe during the school year and in Tucson when school is not in session.

Thank you, now I’d like to ask you a quick question about the pandemic. We’ve experienced a lot of changes in 2020 and many have been negative and disruptive, but perhaps it’s not all that bad. What’s one positive thing you’ve experienced during the pandemic?

Annika Lauer 1:11
I would say that the pandemic has allowed me to experience things I would have not otherwise. For example, I, especially in lieu of you know, being able to go out and do things, I picked up baking as a hobby. The thing about that is that has allowed me to, you know, have that when I probably wouldn’t have even thought about picking that up otherwise. And through baking I have learned to accept my insecurities and flaws. It also has let me give to people, because you know I can give my baked goods to people. I’ve also started learning bamboo flute and things like that. So, I think a lot of opportunities to learn new things that I wouldn’t have even considered otherwise because I would have been too focused on going out and doing things.

Melissa Kim 2:01
Thank you for your time today.

Annika Lauer 2:03
Okay.
