Usually I like to meet my friends in a restaurant and we like to meet at night, between 9:00 and 10:00 pm.

I meet my friends at my house because we have pajama parties on Saturdays. The sleepover in the Meet app.

I usually met with my friends on weekends, but due to the covid, we only spoke by phone call in the afternoon.

I meet my friends between week sometimes we meet in my friend's pizzeria, other times we go to another friend's house to make sleeping or see movies. It is always at night at 8:00 pm.

I meet my friends when their birthdays have, and also my birthdays. We usually meet before 8:00 p.m.

I met my friends at school, currently my friends from the normal school do not see them due to the pandemic however my friends from the previous schools I sometimes see them at home or at my house.

Before I used to meet every day with my friends in the university cafeteria, but now we cannot meet because of covid-19. Now, I always meet them online via meet app.

I usually meet my friends in the park in the afternoon after school. Now because of the quarantine we talk on WhatsApp.

I met my friends in my childhood, that is to say in elementary school. We usually meet once a year, and we watch movies but we also share our anecdotes. Disputing the food and flavored water made by my parents.

Hello! I hope you are all well, I want to share how I am coping with the pandemic that everyone is going through. I haven't seen my friends in over 8 months, and I stopped talking to them, I really have a lot of things to tell them, we have stopped talking for a while. But not all is lost, a week ago I visited my best friend from Teree High School, it was her birthday party and my classmates were there. It was so much fun to meet so many of them!
