I like playing the bass because it gives me something to focus on and challenges me to get better, which helps keep me motivated to do school work and keep a routine during corona virus. It's also a lot more rewarding than a lot of the other kind of mundane, insipid things that take a lot of less effort like going on my phone or watching a bunch of TV. Lastly the prospect of joining a band gives me something to look forward to after corona virus!!
