Ethan Barker
Covid 19, A Lesson Learned
The Covid-19 pandemic has progressed much further than it ever should have been allowed to.
As we approach six hundred-thousand deaths in the United States this fact becomes increasingly
important as small decisions such as making testing available, shutting down transportation, and
simply mandating masks could have made an immense difference. A common argument made in
favor of several world leaders is that a pandemic is not something we were expecting or have had
to deal with in the past. This argument is false, the fact is scientists have been warning us about
SARS, Coronaviruses, Bird flu and other pandemic level pathogens for several years now. We
also have had several outbreaks of epidemic and pandemic level pathogens in the last century
that have been managed and stopped early on. While Covid-19 was in many ways a perfect
storm for a pandemic due to its high transmission rate, it could have been less disastrous had we
listened to science.
If I could share one lesson I have learned from this pandemic, it would be to listen to
science. I often reflect on the ways in which I followed the rules of the CDC, the ways I could
have been safer, and the things that were out of my control. Over quarantine I worked at a
grocery store where some customers reacted to the disease with ignorance and nonchalance,
while others were terrified, and visibly so. Both sides of the spectrum came with a unique set of
issues that were up to myself and my coworkers to solve. Had we as a nation listened to science
instead of concerning the profits of million dollar corporations then places like supermarkets and
other essential businesses could have been made safer and as a result lessened the global panic
that resulted in shortages of resources.

Due to the lockdown that started in March of 2020, many people around the world had seen their lives slow to a crawl in a matter of months, including my own. And as the lockdown persisted, I saw many people either going into a more recessive state or using the newfound time to themselves to better themselves and learn new skills from cooking, drawing, making clothes, etc. At the time of me seeing this I had to make the choice of which way I would go with using my time. I had thought long and hard about what I was going to do until I had realized that I wanted to hone my skill of drawing. Throughout the lockdown I would interact with many forms of art from anime and manga and made art referencing the ones that had changed me as a person and allowed for me to prosper. In addition to this I had told myself that I wanted to inspire others to change their life and pursue their passions through the hard times, and so, anytime I would make a piece of art I would post it onto my instagram page with words of encouragement alongside my own thought process at the time of making it. These photos in the contribution make up some of my favorite works that I had made during the lockdown and only make up a small portion on the total works I made.

Awareness and Pandemic Experiences
I am writing this in May, mental health awareness month….and we should be aware. Last
night, I watched an emotional video on Facebook of a father telling the story of how the virus
took his 12-year-old son. His son wasn’t infected with the virus, he had taken his life. At the
beginning of this, mental health wasn’t the discussion regarding social isolation, people were
mainly concerned with their physical health and safety. People who never knew they were
struggling may be affected. We haven’t experienced anything like this before and that can bring
up unseen emotions and thoughts. Humans live by social interaction, we could not survive
without it. I am lucky enough to be under the same roof as my family during the quarantine. I
feel for the people who are all alone right now, do not have a roof over their head or have a
family to be with, and the people who have lost their job.
Today I met a wholesome elderly woman. I started working for a service called Instacart
where I buy groceries for people who cannot get exposed to the virus. When I dropped off the
groceries, she came outside to check everything and say hi. She was excited to see me and
because it was a beautiful day out, so she could work on her garden outside. This virus is mainly
killing the elderly and this interaction reminded me of how special this group of people is to
humanity. They are the wisest people on earth and are typically so grateful for every small thing.
Something I constantly hear is how this virus is “only killing old people, so it’s not as bad”. Yet
some don’t even realize how special and important this group of people is. Almost every day
now, I see a post on Instagram or Facebook about the loss of someone 65 and older. Our
grandparents are dying. We have come too far with modern medicine to just be okay with a
whole population being killed off.
Wherever I go, mask on. Almost everyone around me has one on. If you don’t wear a
mask inside a public area, you run the risk of being harassed or getting into a fight over it. When
1
�Awareness and Pandemic Experiences
I first started working for Instacart, I went to a local Big Y grocery store and ended up spending
hours there because I was not used to the new job and I had picked up a large order. This was my
first experience wearing a mask. I discovered that wearing a mask increases the likelihood of
experiencing anxiety because you cannot take deep breaths in. I wouldn’t call myself someone
with an anxiety disorder, but I tend to freak out a lot under pressure or when things aren’t going
right. I found myself short of breath and frankly almost passed out. An increase in anxiety
ultimately suppresses the immune system too. Are we still unaware?
When I’m walking past someone in a store or see someone I know, I usually smile at
them as a way of greeting them and being friendly. When I am in the grocery store, I find that I
still smile at everyone I pass by because I do it naturally, but I forget that they cannot see beneath
the mask. Certain human connections are unavailable at this time.
We have Zoom. Our classes are conducted on zoom and our social interactions. I am so
grateful that we live in the generation of technology and we were able to finish up our classes,
instead of missing a full semester. I’m grateful that we have FaceTime and texting, so friends
and family can stay connected in some form. We can still check in on each other and get a few
laughs in. Let me tell you, it gets a little old living in the same house as your family for months
with nowhere to go! We are so fortunate to have these resources; however, no matter how much
work professors put into lesson plans, it will still never be the same. When you are in a real class
or having a conversation with someone in person, you cannot see yourself, just the person you
have your attention on. With Zoom, you can see your video, your classmates’ video, and your
professor, so maybe you’re not always focusing on what you normally would if you were just
sitting in a classroom. The interaction aspect of zoom is not the same as well. We do not have a
true face-to-face connection. One thing I have noticed when I do group zoom calls with my
2
�Awareness and Pandemic Experiences
friends or my teammates is there is no such thing as a side conversation. When you’re in a big
group of people, it is typical to see side conversation before an activity has begun and that is how
you build a personal connection with people. We may not find that again for a while.
No matter how much we look into the statistics of this and try to predict what will happen
next, it is impossible to predict the future entirely. Many public health officials knew that we
wouldn’t be prepared for the next pandemic, America didn’t have the support it needed. I
constantly find myself making plans for “whenever this is all over” and looking forward to the
fall semester and my favorite running season, cross country, but I do not know when the end will
be. There may not even be a true “end” because there is no guarantee that we find a safe and
effective vaccine or that the disease will be eradicated. I think it is comforting to hold onto hope
and be excited about the future, but no one truly knows the timeline.
The last “normal” week we had was midterms week. Everyone was looking forward to
spring break and their vacation plans. I remember the flow of that week perfectly. In the
beginning, COVID-19 wasn’t a huge fear. As the days went by, the NCAA started canceling
sports seasons and the emotions heightened. The seniors didn’t get to finish out their athletic
careers; there were many tears. Colleges began to declare going online and having extended
spring breaks. On that Thursday night, friends got together and stayed up late. We had our last
moments together for the semester and didn’t even know it. Everything was very uncertain that
night. We cried, and we laughed. Then, we hugged goodbye. I have truly learned to never take
any moment, any opportunity, or any friendship for granted because I learned the hard way, you
never know when it will be gone.

Health Sciences Epidemiology Classes
Description
An account of the resource
This collection includes items submitted by students in the Health Science major who were enrolled in HSCI 325: Biostatistics, HSCI 340: Principles of Epidemiology, or HSCI 420: Evidence-Based Health Care in the spring 2020 semester. These three courses cover topics related to the distribution and determinants of disease, and in spring 2020 these topics were illustrated using examples related to COVID-19. At the end of the semester, students were given the option to contribute to this archive for extra credit towards their final project grade. To receive extra credit, students were asked to identify, capture, and describe an item that could be used as a primary source by future historians and researchers to study the experiences of Springfield College during the COVID-19 pandemic.

There may not even be a true “end” because there is no guarantee that we find a safe and effective vaccine or that the disease will be eradicated. I think it is comforting to hold onto hope and be excited about the future, but no one truly knows the timeline.
The last “normal” week we had was midterms week. Everyone was looking forward to spring break and their vacation plans. I remember the flow of that week perfectly. In the beginning, COVID-19 wasn’t a huge fear. As the days went by, the NCAA started canceling sports seasons and the emotions heightened. The seniors didn’t get to finish out their athletic careers; there were many tears. Colleges began to declare going online and having extended spring breaks. On that Thursday night, friends got together and stayed up late. We had our last moments together for the semester and didn’t even know it. Everything was very uncertain that night. We cried, and we laughed. Then, we hugged goodbye. I have truly learned to never take any moment, any opportunity, or any friendship for granted because I learned the hard way, you never know when it will be gone.

Hello,
I am reaching out to share the work that some of your students are participating in, through
BroadStreet’s COVID-19 Data Project Internship. BroadStreet provides public good tools that
allow professionals to spend their time and resources on improving community health.
BroadStreet’s COVID-19 Data Project is a collaboration of approximately 200 students,
statisticians, epidemiologists, healthcare experts, data scientists and other passionate
professionals who are committed to having the most accurate, community level data about the
COVID-19 positive tests and fatality rates.
We have been humbled by the outpouring of support, especially from the collegiate community.
We know that right now students have a unique set of challenges trying to navigate these
difficult times, maintaining their studies, most who are away from home and while adapting to
their new normal. Despite this, we wanted to recognize your students who have graciously
donated their time and talent to our project.
You can learn more about BroadStreet here: https://learn.broadstreet.io
You can see the data your students help collect here: http://covid19dataproject.org
Below is a list of the students who have participated by tracking historical data, collecting daily
data, as well participating in special interest team projects that include computer based
automation, data visualization, infectious disease, policy, social media and fundraising.
We know that during this time, good news can be more meaningful than ever, and we welcome
you to share these student’s participation in any department or college-wide publications or
emailing’s. We are glad to be in touch if you have any questions, or want to discuss further
opportunities for your students. Once again, we thank you as well as your students for the
commitment to public health research and a better tomorrow.
Thank you,
BroadStreet’s COVID-19 Data Project

Blessed Easter He is Risen! The Gift of Hope

Greetings,
Easter this year is different. Because of expert medical advice, we distance ourselves from each other. Even close
relatives or friends won't join us for Easter Dinner. We will miss them. We won't even go to Church physically. Yet, we do
have some opportunities to worship on-line. (See below.)
We had hopes for Lent. For the Semester. For Spring. Some of us could be anxious about the summer. Perhaps, with
reason. What will happen to our plans? For, we had hoped that...
Even, on the first Easter morning, the disciples are told not to be afraid. They are advised to "back to Galilee" and He will
see them there. Galilee is "code" for where and when they first met Jesus. They head to Galilee.They understand Jesus'
challenge to reflect on what about Jesus catches their imagination. As we also reflect on our "Galilee", what is
about Jesus that first attracted us to Him? For me, I am always moved that He accepts people; He doesn't judge people.
Pope Francis leads us in prayer: "Lord, you don't want us to be afraid. You, Lord will not leave us at the mercy of the
storm. Together, with Peter, we 'cast our anxieties on to you, for you care about us.'" (1 Peter 5:7)
Don't be afraid to tell Jesus our worries. About the pandemic. About everything. We long to meet Him again when and
where he first caught our imagination. Our Galilee. Can you hear Him call your name, again? What does He say to you?
An unknown artist (to me) captures compassionate and competent medical personnel attending to another victim of the
global pandemic, a modern day Jesus.
�In this tapestry below, Raphael presents the power of the Risen Jesus conquering evil, death - and giving us hope.
The Risen Jesus, says "Peace. Don't be afraid." And, tell the others we will meet up in Galilee where we first met. Jesus
tells us to hope. Where do you think you would be able to hope again this Easter?
Available Easter Masses include:
Pope Francis at St. Peter's Rome
Easter Morning Mass (with English Translation)
Springfield Bishop Mitch Rozanski at St. Michael's Cathedral
10 am on WWLP Channel 22 NEWS
WWLP TV
Fr. John @ Sts. Patrick and Raphael
Easter Sunday Mass
Campus Ministries Easter Masses
Celebrated at a number of Campuses across the country
At this different, yet real Easter, where does Jesus offer you the gift of hope?
Blessings of hope to you and your loved ones,
Fr. John

Changes Experienced Through
COVID 19
Ariana Monarca
�Overview
The following photographs and topics displayed in this visual essay represent the crazy year that I’ve had. Due
to Covid, I’d say a lot of things changed in my life. Some things for the better and others not so much. My senior
year of Highschool didn’t turn out quite how I expected it be to. I missed out on my last track season with my
teammates as well as typically senior activities and trips. I both gained and lost friendships in a span of a few
months. I started a new chapter at Springfield college too. Even now, I’m still currently adapting to new changes.
Covid is still having an impact on my life, even months later, however I can’t change that. Filled with ups and
downs, it all feels like a roller coaster.. Sometimes it’s a lot to handle and process the changes that COVID has
thrown in my direction.
�Last Months of Highschool
My senior year of high school was different than expected. All
my senior trips and prom nights that I was looking forward to
since freshman year were canceled. Due to the fact that it was
just too unsafe to carry through with these activities, my senior
year felt like it went straight out the door. This photo was taken
with my group of senior friends back in October. Little did we
know that the end of our senior year would become so
unpredictable in the months to follow. I never knew that
officially my last day stepping foot into my high school would
have been in March. Unknowing that it would be my last day, I
never got to say a proper goodbye to my friends.
�Athletics on Pause
Last time I was able to compete was my indoor track season that
ended in February. We unfortunately got put on pause and weren’t
able to have one last outdoor track season. In this photo, I was with
my 4x800 relay team after breaking our school record for the first
time. For our outdoor track season, we had a goal to advance our
4x800 team to state opens but never had the opportunity to give it a
shot. Even coming to college, competition season was canceled. We
still train but I haven’t been able to compete representing Springfield
yet.
�Friendships
COVID also had a big impact on the relationships I formed
with those closest to me. Before quarantine, I was pretty
content with the people in my life. I had a group of friends that
I talked to all the time at school. After stepping foot out of
school in March, those friendships started drifting apart. I lost
friendships with people I thought would be in my life always
and it was difficult to handle. In the process of losing
friendships, I’ve also strengthened other friendships. My bond
with them has grown. We all continue to keep in touch even
though we're following our separate paths in college.
�Family Time
The one positive about COVID is that I got to spend more time with
my family. I’ve been able to stay home and enjoy family dinners
together, have bonfires, and watch movies more often. The situation
sucks but at least my family is helping me through it all. In this photo
taken in August, I went kayaking with my dad, aunt, and cousins. My
family tried to get out of the house a bit and do more fun outdoor
activities. We wanted to take our minds off COVID and get that
quality time together before I left for college.
�A Fresh Start at Springfield College
Coming to Springfield college, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
It was all so nerve wracking yet exciting since it was my first
time really getting away from home in months. It was finally
a time for me to have my own independence. I knew changes
were made to adapt to the COVID 19 guidelines. Wearing
masks at all times and remaining six feet apart was
something no one was used to doing. Online classes can get
pretty hectic too. I’m not used to learning in an online format
but I keep improving my skills on navigating the system
daily.

College during
COVID-19
�Introduction
My COVID-19 Journey
This pandemic struck at such a pivotal point in my lifetime. I was undergoing the
transition from high school to college. It created some challenges along the way. For example,
COVID-19 made it difficult for me to visit some college campuses due to the school closures.
Those visits impacted my decision on which college I attended. Despite these challenges, I am
glad to be attending Springfield College and am grateful that we are able to live on campus
right now. The college is adjusting to the virus in order to keep students and faculty safe. Here
are some photos I took during this time.
2
�Move-In Day
This photo was taken in August
when I moved into my dorm room.
During this time, we were only
allowed two other people to help us
move our belongings into the dorm.
Anyone else had to wait in the car. I
was still able to move in quickly and I
had some time to grab a few extra
things at the store with my family for
parting ways.
3
�Orientation

orientation.

during orientation.

�Orientation
Springfield College’s orientation was
a quite different this year. We were
dividing into small groups based on
which floors we live on in our dorms.
All activities were outside and we ate
meals together on the grass while
social distancing. This photo is of me
and my friend right before one of out
activities.
5
�Outside Life on Campus
COVID-19 has allowed us to
spend more time outside than
before. We frequently use the
outdoor seating in order to social
distance. Here is a photo I took while
sitting on a bench eating my lunch.
The weather was really nice and the
sunset was quite pretty.
6
�Art Class
There are only a few classes I
have that meet in person. Studio in
Drawing is one of them. We meet
every monday and do some drawing
exercises.Here are some piece we
hung up during October. I drew the
stairwell on the left based off of
observation.
7
�Campus Life
Things on campus look
different. There are signs on doors
reminding us to wash our hands,
hand sanitizing stations, and 6 feet
markers on the grounds. One of the
most interesting changes is the mask
placed on a statue located in the
center of campus. It serves as a
friendly reminder to wear a mask.

Management students at Providence College created a two-minute video — featuring their classmates and friends from colleges across the country — to encourage young adults to take seriously warnings about the coronavirus. This video was posted on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube.
Coverage
The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant
Everyone’s life has drastically changed since the world entered a pandemic from COVID-19. The things every college student took for granted like athletics, graduation, in person classes, and dinner in dining hall was suddenly all taken away from us. This video is a message from college students to college students expressing the importance of practicing social distancing. Practicing social distancing is something that can save a person who is more susceptible to disease than you are. We are staying home to save the lives of our parents and grandparents. This time is something no one has ever experiences before and it is hard for young adults to accept since they feel they are wasting away their college time. I think it is important to preserve this video because it expresses the unity of college students everyone coming together during this pandemic. I would want someone to notice the transition from the beginning of this video of the college boy saying nothing is going to stop him from partying to the rest of the video of college kids expressing the importance of staying home to help flatten the curve of COVID-19 deaths.

I chose this email as my contribution because receiving this email went against my beliefs. No one in my household was vaccinated and I didn’t believe in taking the vaccine because during the two years Covid 19 started I didn’t get covid, so I didn’t see the purpose for getting the vaccine. The vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting covid it only helps with symptoms and my parents and I both were against the vaccine and they didn’t want me to take it either. However, in order to come on campus and live on campus it was required. In conclusion I thought that using this email would show how Covid basically made decisions for me and I didn’t really have a say in that decision even though it was my personal belief because I didn’t have a medical or religious exemption.

COVID Class of 2020
2020 was supposed to be the year where I closed one chapter of my life and moved onto
the next chapter smoothly. Your entire life everybody always hypes up the excitement of senior
year. You hear about all the fun stories from prom and graduation. Everybody tells you to enjoy
it while it lasts because it’ll be over before you know it. I was doing exactly that, the start of the
year was going just how I expected it to be. I was enjoying my senior year, taking super easy
classes, and soaking up every last moment of childhood. Sadly, due to the pandemic and other
reasons, 2020 has been an extremely tough year and has thrown so much at me.
At the end of February my uncle unexpectedly lost his battle with cancer, leaving behind
my aunt and his 11 and 13 year old daughters. He was only 49. My cousins are the sweetest and
most intelligent little girls ever and they did not deserve to lose their father. About a week or so
after he passed away, my family and I flew to Switzerland for the funeral. We wanted to comfort
my cousins so badly and grieve with them, but they hate being the center of attention. With how
overwhelming everything was, all they wanted was some sense of normalcy during this
incredibly sad time. They are so disciplined that they chose to still go to school that week. Seeing
my cousins spread their father's ashes into his grave was easily one of the most heartbreaking
moments of my life. Something they should never have had to do at such a young age. I
remember seeing them grasp onto my aunt as she cried. I was so proud to see how strong and
supportive they were. I check in with my cousins as often as I can, but the time difference makes
it very difficult. As we were at the airport for our flight back home, I remember seeing some
people wearing masks and stubbornly thinking that they were being paranoid for no reason.
Little did I know, one week later the world would shutdown because of the COVID-19
pandemic.
�2
Leading up to March I had been working my ass off for so many months in preparation
for my senior volleyball season. My junior year we lost in the regional championship and lost
most of our roster to graduation. I stepped up and was fully prepared to lead my team to another
shot at winning a regional championship—my life revolved around it. March 12th was the first
practice of my senior season. I didn’t know it then, but that day was also the last practice of my
high school volleyball career. Schools all across the country temporarily postponed in-person
classes as a precautionary measure. At first, it was just supposed to be three weeks, then three
weeks turned into just until the end of April and then my high school called the year. No senior
season. No regional championship. No prom. No real graduation. I have trouble putting words
together to describe how devastated I was. I felt like every ounce of effort I put in towards
volleyball went to literally nothing. I’ve never worked so hard for something in my life, not even
remotely close. Missing out on my senior season is something I will never get over. I am lucky
enough to be playing in college but I would trade anything to get that senior season back.
After finding out there was no chance of me having a senior season, I had no motivation
to do anything and I don’t think I smiled for weeks. On May 3rd, my mom came into my room
and woke me up around 7:30am which was way earlier than I intended on waking up. She told
me that one of my best friends' mom unexpectedly died from cardiac arrest. I was completely
blindsided by this news and knew I had to help him. My friend ended up living with me for a
week until his siblings could find somewhere for him to live. He, like many kids from my town,
grew up in single parent homes in extreme poverty and have no one helping them stay on track.
It was really stressful having him live with my family right after his mom passed away, because
we wanted to make sure we were doing everything to help him in that unimaginable situation.
Losing my senior season was still so fresh and painful but during that week my problems became
�3
so much less important than what he was going through. Some things are much bigger than
sports, but without sports I would have never met him and would not have been able to help him.
Part of me feels like I still haven’t closed the high school chapter of my life yet. I should
have gotten the opportunity to showcase all of my hard work on the volleyball court for my
senior season. I should have gotten the opportunity to take my girlfriend to prom. I should have
gotten the opportunity to walk across the stage and get my diploma in front of my parents. It
pains me to think about all the other little memories that I missed out on. The craziest part about
how badly this year has gone is that 2020 is not over and it could get even worse. Thinking back
to my early memories of 2020 literally feels like ages ago. I have high hopes that 2020 will get
better and the good will outweigh the bad.

Covid completely changed my life. For me personally when I look back at how covid
affected me I get a really bitter taste in my mouth. It ruined college plans, highschool, and the
summer. Although I hate to look at it only negatively, I think you grow as a person in
uncomfortable situations so I will try to explain a few positives that it brought me. Throughout
this essay I’ll explain, almost in timeline fashion how covid turned everything upside down.
The day is march 27th, 2020 and I am sitting in my principal's office getting suspended
from school. As I leave the parking lot at about noon on a day where we as students get out at
2:15 I was actually kind of happy I no longer had to be in school. My best friend's truck
happened to be in the shop that day so I went back at 2:15 after school to pick him up. Once we
got to his house we got an email that stated “due to covid-19 reasons we will be continuing our
school year remotely…..”. Those first four words became the basis of about half the information
I would receive over the next year. A positive, I no longer had a suspension to serve but my
entire senior year had been ended. I was sitting in that office earlier that day not realizing that
that was the last time I would ever be in a highschool setting. This was the theme that was
starting to develop. I began to have things stript from me due to covid, this was the first of many
“due to covid 19s” I would receive.
The date is June 6th, 2020 and I am scheduled to graduate. It had been cancelled for a
while by then but it was still a big deal to many of us. Following our teachers driving gift baskets
to our house for the sole reason of them feeling bad for us, we hopped in the car and went to
graduation. However, we wouldn’t leave the car, I could when I first got there to see all of my
friends in their caps and gowns in a different parking lot. We drove the snake path that my High
school parking lot makes. I passed each grade of teachers I had gone through previously to
begin at the highschool as they were lined up throughout the parking lot. By the time I got to the
front and past all my teachers it was my turn to step out of the car, walk up to the entrance of
the school, grab my diploma, then instantly get back into the car and drive off. I drove off that
�day upset with the way everything had turned out. This once in a lifetime event had been
destroyed “due to covid 19”.
The months of April and some of may consisted of me sneaking out of my house to see
people. Basically the whole country was in lockdown “due to covid 19”. I enjoy alone time but
was never the one to be alone for days, weeks, and months on end. This was new for me and
changed my perspective on a lot of things. This time period changed me in both good and bad
ways. I grew so much as a person simply off of having time to reflect but the same thing that
made me grow is also what tore me apart. Thinking too much can be evil and when I was in
quarantine I saw this for the first time. For the first time in my life I was aware that I was being
self conscious and just overall unsure of how to carry myself. I was confused, but all I could do
was sit in my room and think some more. This created some dark days, however I can’t dismiss
the fact that some of these days gave me the opportunity to figure stuff out. Concepts that I had
rejected spending the time thinking about, were now at the forefront of my brain because I had
no distractions. I figured out things about the world around me, my friends and family, and most
importantly myself. It sucked but I don’t know if quarantine will hinder me when I’m older, I think
I grew a lot as a person during this time period.
The date is today, Wednesday, October 21st, 2020 and I am sitting in my dorm reading
the number of covid related deaths in America. 226,383. Just like that we went from the last day
of highschool to now. The number rose so quickly I thought the news station was lying
everytime I looked, It would jump 10,000 in a day. However, I’m sitting in my dorm reflecting on
how school has gone this year while being in a pandemic. Everytime I leave my dorm I run
through a mental checklist. Normally I would just grab my phone and my ID but now I have to
remember my mask. If I Forgot it and was caught I would get kicked out of school with no
questions asked and no refund. My friends have been getting kicked out of school every other
weekend for having their masks over their mouth but not all the way up over their nose which is
extremely against the rules. You can’t have more than four people in one room at the same time
�but we do probably every day. You always have to look over your shoulder in case there’s an
RA and trouble presents itself. The list of things you have to do because of covid is ridiculously
long but you get the point. The amount of added stress to our lives because of covid is
immeasurable. At college you’re supposed to stress about school and that’s literally the last
thing I worry about on a day to day basis. How can I think about what I just learned in my
business class? When Donald Trump is ruining our country, the political divide is at its highest in
centuries, and there’s a disease killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.
“Due to covid” we had to sacrifice a lot. We gave up things that everyone in every year
prior to us had had. Mentally it tore us apart and gave the US some of the biggest Depression
and anxiety problems it had ever seen, with a suicide rate that was going through the roof. For
many people that weren’t as fortunate as I am got completely destroyed by covid, and some that
had enough money to go where they wanted and stay there, were unaffected. I can’t speak for
everyone on how Covid affected them but for me it’s just put a depressing stamp on everything
that’s happened since February.
