LAUNCH QUARANTINE TRENDS

The shelter in place has left many bored in their homes. Palo Alto High School students are among those participating in trends from Youtube workouts to Dalgona coffee sprouted from social media fads.

Facetime Photoshoots “It was something new and different to do while Facetiming and I got some good pics out of it,” sophomore Camila Urteaga said. “It was a fun experience but it was hard not being able to see the pictures right after I took them.”

At-Home Haircuts “I think quarantine is the perfect time to try new things and go out of your comfort zone,” freshman Caroline Zhang said. “I cut off around four inches. I’m glad I did it and I like how it turned out.”

Spice Cabinet Challenge “[It] was made by my friend partly as a joke to the oth er challenges on the internet,” junior Andrew Pham said. ”In a way, it brought us together as the quarantine started.”
