  • 7 years ago

Tarek Ziad was subject to extreme cabin fever after he fell ill with the mumps in December.In a video shared to YouTube on December 18, the Yale student put together an entertaining compilation of ways he kept himself amused, and all of the top notch amenities the university health center offered.
Some of the quarantine perks included a tub of apple sauce, limitless blue rubber gloves, the “world’s smallest” phone charger and a TV with no sound. Ziad also managed to make some friends while locked away from the outside world, including a pillow named Phil and a blown-up glove named Sally — very Wilson-from-Castaway-esque.
