I think it is a simple title, but it hammers home the message. The videos are all of me working out in the woods during quarantine. All of the gyms were closed, so the only way to work out would be to go outside and do whatever I needed to do. These woods would vary everywhere in northern New jersey. I enjoyed switching up the scenery and keeping things new. I did everything from run to lifting logs and punching football pads. My friend Jack was a great force in motivating me during this tough time. We were both there for eachother to get better, and I do truly appreciate the time I spent with him. Although my COVID experience was filled with a ton of mental hardship, these were the experiences I remember the fondest from that year. Anything that was available to me in public I used to better myself. The videos are of me and sometimes my good friend Jack. The dates vary from April 2020 into that summer. My name is Casey Allen, callen4@springfieldcollege.edu. I really enjoyed looking into all of these archives over this passed unit. Although repetitive with the questions taking a deep dive into things I would not have probably gotten a chance to look into was pretty cool. My favorite part is looking into the Springfield Archive and seeing all the different things that happened in our school's history. It was shocking to see how hypocritical our humanics message is no offense to Springfield College. The way we handled segregation will stick with me forever. I also loved the museum of suspended objects. It was really interesting seeing different things get their meaning back after looking like simply junk. Shows that almost anything can be made into an archive. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Barely seeing my neighbors or friends through out this whole process.

I focused on hair salons because my family is close friends with two hair dressers who are currently out of work and suffering. One of the hair dressers told me they were told very suddenly that they needed to close so they weren't even able to prepare. These three signs were also all within fifteen minutes of each other so this show how many hair dressers must be unemployed around the country. Not only is this affecting themselves but also their families who they need to provide for.

In the Spring Semester of my current year, 2020, as we were going on spring break, the COVID-19 crisis started to pick up way heavier than it did before. Current President Mary Beth Cooper announced to all students Wednesday, March 11th that we would be having an extended spring break due to the circumstances of the pandemic. In the announcement, if there would be further action taken on this pandemic (like closing), she would send out an email during spring break to inform students and faculty as so. On the last day of campus, March 13th, everyone on campus had a feeling that we were going to shut down for the semester. Packing to go home was a very sad experience, but also very concerning and confusing one. As students, we were unaware if we were coming back or not, so there was an underlying question as to how much stuff to bring back to our house and what we should leave back in the dorm room. Eventually leaving, we later found out spring break week that we would be moving virtually/online permanently for the rest of the spring semester. As teachers started to prepare for online learning, I was preparing to restart a previous job at the Shoprite of Croton, located in Croton-On-Hudson, New York. Now, this is Westchester county which is a hotbed for COVID19. The experience of online schooling, work and caring for my family, specifically mom is definitely a fascinating one. First, seeing how grocery stores have changed during this time is crazy. There are lines mostly everyday to enter the store that are long, limiting the amount of �people in and out. Workers direct you as to what register to go to in order to check out your groceries, as well as coupons, customer service and returns being postponed. Direction flow for the aisles in the store is located on the floor, directing customers the correct way to go (although no one listens to it). As classes switched online, only one class requires weekly meetings while the others either don’t meet online, or meeting online is optional. All work is submitted by a deadline, however in circumstances teachers will give extensions. This was seen first hand by me as well, as my mother was being tested for the virus for about a week. She had shortness of breath one day, went to urgent care and they tested her. As she was being what we call during this time “quarantined”, I was taking care of her, getting the groceries, going to the bank and much more. Luckily the test results for COVID-19 came out negative, however still to be safe I remain taking care of her. School, work, and taking care of my mom gives me a great balance during this time. Honestly, without work, school and taking care of family, I would be sitting around doing nothing all day, which pains me to say. This experience is very benefical and has opened my eyes to alot more of the world around me. Your average workers, such as grocery store workers or retail workers are now way more appreciated than they have been before. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This will help future researchers further their knowledge of the COVID-19 crisis, as well as see another perspective from a working-student point of view in a hotbed state for COVID-19. I hope that this allows viewers to understand the circumstances of the COVID-19 and how it affected many lives and public places, and how people really had to adjust despite it being very hard to do so.

Professor Zagarins at the time told our class this virus had the potential to seriously affect the rest of our semester, but we all thought that was crazy. Soon though the cases went from hundreds to thousands, to tens of thousands, and now hundreds of thousands. When we saw the cases increasing so fast class times started to be filled with only questions about COVID-19 and what this meant for us. The night they announced we would have an extended spring break I realized how serious this was and the next day I packed up my entire dorm. They did not say we wouldn’t be returning after spring break yet but I live all the way in Arizona and I knew if we did not come back there would be no way for me to come and pack my things, so I had to prepare for the worst, which ended up being the outcome. I couldn’t even be sad or scared because I was so overwhelmed and stressed over packing and midterms. From the night we found out about the extended spring break till the next day when I boarded my airplane I had not slept, took two midterms and packed everything I had to move back across the country. Once I was home things got much worse with the virus and it officially became a nationwide pandemic. It took some adjusting to doing work at home but both my parents were still working which minimized distractions. My body was also still on east coast time so I was waking up three hours earlier than I normally would have and this was extremely beneficial to my mental health and be as productive in the day as I could given the circumstances. I think this pandemic has taught me how to make the best out of whatever you are given and being quarantine is hard yes, but if you give yourself a plan for each day and get into a routine it will be much more doable than you �might think. Now that classes have ended it is a little harder to fill my day and keep busy but as of now the biggest difficulty is finding a job, just like everyone else I am sure. Things at home are still almost all closed and what is open is fully employed basically everywhere. I think out of this pandemic though we as a country will come out stronger, and hopefully wiser. One thing I noticed here at home is how easy it is to get a test in comparison to other states, this might be because we have a lot less cases per capita and maybe we have not hit our peak yet, but I feel as if we have all needed resources available here. One thing that is disappointing throughout this time is the amount of people who truly just don’t care about the pandemic and aren’t taking it seriously. These people I feel are the ones that are going to prolong the reopening and cause for a potential second peak. My biggest fear in that would be that we are not able to return in the fall. I chose Springfield because of all it has on campus to offer and the type of environment it is and it would be devastating if we could not return because of others negligence in helping flatten the curve. With that being said I am also fearful of the return in fall and what that will mean for spread of COVID-19. I believe this pandemic will affect the nations population for years to come in the way we interact with others and how seriously we take our health. I believe some have found this to be dramatic and will not change or do not care but I do not believe that is the majority. I hope everyone was able to take something meaningful and valuable from these hard times and hopefully make something positive come out of it. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When the first case of corona came to the US, I wasn’t aware of how large of an impact it would have on our country. Not knowing much about the virus, I never thought it would come anywhere close to myself or the people I know but I was wrong. When corona first came to the United States, many of us didn’t really think anything of it, until it was in our own state. During the last couple of weeks of high school that were in person, it was rare to hear a conversation that wasn’t about corona. The pandemic was the main topic of many conversations causing anxiety and worry amongst so many. Not much information was given to any of us students and at the time no one really knew anything about the virus or how to contain it. The more the cases rose, the more people freaked out. Massachusetts was one of the first “hot spot” states causing schools to shut down and almost all jobs switching to online. With the virus spreading more, my school decided to shut down. One of my teachers came in contact with a family member who tested positive for corona, and my whole school went into panic mode. Kids were calling their parents to get dismissed because the staff weren’t giving us updates on the incident with the teacher. The next day school was cancelled and everyone believed that we would be back the next week. The next week came around and my school �pushed it back to 2 weeks. Week after week our time off school continued to grow and soon enough we were told that we weren’t going back to school. Reality hit everyone when we found out we couldn’t go back to school because of how serious COVID was getting in our state. No prom, no normal graduation, no senior trip, no awards night, and so many other missed events. My school was not prepared to switch to online classes, so we had a break from school for almost a month before they figured out the situation with classes and teaching online.I still ended up having club volleyball practice after the fact until one night our coach told us it would be our last practice for a while and maybe even for the rest of the season. My teammates and I couldn’t believe the news and kept questioning our coaches about our season, but it was unknown what the future would hold. At this point no one knew how to deal with the situation at hand. Stores, restaurants, business, etc all shut down and at this point nothing felt real. Strict quarantine rules and curfews were set in place for almost all residents in MA and we were forced to wear a mask everywhere we went. Being a hot spot state, masks were required everywhere unlike the southern states who had the option to wear one. Although rules were being followed, the number of positive tests rose and the death rate continued to increase. The virus was untamable and everyone believed it would get worse before it got better. The governor of Boston kept pushing back quarantine week after week with no set date as to when we were going to get back to normal. We lived day by day without any answers and constantly stayed on our toes waiting for permission to leave quarantine. After a few months of strict quarantine, the rules started to slowly lift. Stores started to slowly open with a certain amount of customers shopping at once, and long lines waited outside for hours on end. Restaurants opened to take out and you had to order through online services only. �Just as we were making a positive turn by slowly coming out of quarantine and isolation, another curve ball was thrown throughout the world. We were hit with the unwarranted death of Breonna Taylor in her own home. This African American woman was sleeping in her home when plain clothed police invaded her apartment without a warning believing there was a suspect, but the suspect had already been apprehended and it wasn’t the correct building. This ignited the start up of the Black Lives Matters Movement with protests and petitions throughout social media and news outlets across the country. Not long after this incident another instance of police brutality took place. An African American man, George Floyd, was strangled to death in police custody which was caught on video and spread worldwide. This sparked many peaceful protests and cities across the country, some which resulted in violence on both sides of the protesters and authorities. It got to a point where, even in peaceful protests, authorities would take extreme measures against peaceful protesters by tear gassing crowds and shooting rubber bullets. Not only did this cause a bigger rift between authorities and people of color, but it sparked the BLM movement which became world wide. The articles and visuals shared on social media were eye opening to me. Although I am a person of color in a predominantly white town, my brothers and I never experienced anything like what we were seeing on the news. Growing up my mom would always remind my brothers to stay cautious, “act appropriately” and stay safe when going out especially at night time. My brothers, who are tall black males, like listening to loud music while driving and occasionally wear durags to protect their hair, which is a part of black culture. To police and society this is a stereotypical representation of a black man. Little do they know, they are smart respectful men who have done so much for their community and school. Being the younger sister of my three brothers, I was worried for their safety after seeing �so many instances where black males were killed for the slightest issue. My mom, brothers and I attended a few protests to stand up for minorities who are being oppressed in the criminal justice system. This was a big part of my quarantine and taught me so much about the world we live in today. In all 2020 has been a crazy year with corona and the Black Lives Matter Movement. All the ups and downs this year has taught me a lot about myself and the insane world that we live in today. I never thought I would experience living through a pandemic, I would’ve never thought I’d experience half of what I’ve been through this year. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I live in Bermuda, so I had to take two flights to get home for spring break. Everything was pretty normal on my way home, as travel had not been significantly impacted by the virus yet. When I got home, I didn’t have to quarantine or take an arrival test, as I arrived before they introduced those strict measures. I was very lucky because a week later, everyone entering the country was made to quarantine for two weeks. At first, it was a lot of fun because I got to see all of my friends who came back home from their schools all over the world. However, this changed pretty quickly in late March when the first case arrived on the island, and the government quickly put us into lockdown. Our lockdown was very strict; people were only able to leave the house on certain days to get groceries, with very few exceptions. All schools, public parks, tourist sites, restaurants, and non-essential businesses were closed for the duration of the lockdown. My family was very lucky because my mom owns an “essential business”, meaning we were allowed to leave the house any day we wanted to get groceries and go for drives. That being said, the lockdown was difficult; I’m accustomed to being around people all the time, and it was very strange to be confined to my house for an extended period of time. At first, I found it kind of relaxing and peaceful, and I enjoyed having some personal space, as it’s rare when you go to boarding school. I found it nice to spend time with my brother and my parents being that I hadn’t seen them for months before the lockdown started. However, as we got further into our lockdown, it became quite irritating to be in the house with the same people for so long. I’d say that personally, the �worst part of our lockdown was the inability for me to go to the gym; I found this very frustrating because working out is my way of clearing my mind, and after a while I started to feel trapped. The lockdown lasted from late March until May 1st, and when we got out at first things were very different. Progressing to phase 1 of reopening was very freeing because I was able to go outside again and see my friends. The first day out of lockdown, my friends and I went to the beach for the first time in weeks and spent the whole day together. Although most businesses, restaurants, and shops remained closed, being able to see my friends again was great for my mental health as I immediately felt less isolated. Bermuda progressed through the phases of reopening very quickly, and by mid-June, we were in phase 4 and COVID free. The airport opened in early July and life felt pretty normal at home; we didn’t have to wear masks anymore (except for in the airport) and people were allowed to gather freely without any restrictions or curfew. After we were completely reopened, the summer festivities went on as usual, and the summer felt very normal. I was able to work and have a normal summer from July until I left for school in late August, and everyone on the island was grateful that the government was sable to contain the virus so quickly. Before I left for school, I was required to take a pre-departure test so that I could travel. When I got to the airport on the day of my flight, I was required to wear a mask for the first time in months for the entire time in the airport and the duration of the flight, which I found to be extremely annoying. I flew to New York City and stayed in Manhattan for a few days before driving to Springfield. Immediately after getting off of the plane, it was like I had entered a �different world. Everyone was wearing masks and gloves, and freaking out about the virus. It was such an extreme contrast from what I had experienced at home. After arriving to New York City, I could immediately see how different the place was. The streets and stores that were once crowded with people were almost empty; I couldn’t believe how different it actually was. I remember walking down fifth avenue and not having to avoid walking into people or navigate a crowd, and it was such a weird feeling. When I arrived at Springfield College, I was shocked by how strict the measures here were. I hadn’t been forced to wear a mask since June, and all of a sudden, I had to wear one everywhere I went. I found it so strange how panicked everyone was about the virus, since I have never known anyone who had the virus, or who had any severe complications as a result of it. I found it particularly strange how we had to wear masks while working out, as I had never done that before. It is fair to say that I was shocked with the extreme contrast between life at home and life at Springfield College after arriving here. In conclusion, Bermuda was not significantly affected by COVID-19, especially in comparison to America. Therefore, transitioning from somewhere that wasn’t significantly impacted my the virus to Springfield College was very strange. The strict rules and regulations we have to abide by are very different from how my friends and family at home are living. Regardless, I knew before coming that the regulations here would be stricter than I was accustomed to at home. Overall, this year was not particularly easy for anyone; everyone was impacted in some way, and I’m grateful that where I come from didn’t experience the worst of the virus. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I remember starting my first spring semester at Springfield College in January 2020, and people began to discuss the virus. However, at this point, everyone more or less believed it would stay in China, and no one really took it seriously or thought much of it. We all just went about our daily lives. When living on a college campus, it’s difficult to keep up with the news unless you make an active effort to. Almost all of my news about the virus was coming from Instagram, and most of the posts were memes. The majority of us didn’t take this seriously until March approached. There were cases in the United States, and rumors of a lockdown. With campuses shutting down across the country, it seemed that Springfield College was next. That became official during a large meeting in the Dodge Room on the second floor of the Union. It felt like the entire student body attended this meeting, with all of us anxious to find out the fate of our semester. It was ironic to hear President Cooper talk about how the virus spreads easily when we were all cramped in this room. Students were sharing seats and many were in the back of the room standing. I was ignorantly happy when I found out that we would be getting an extra week of spring break. I thought I’d get an extra week at home with my family, and then I would be able to come back to finish my semester. No one could have predicted what was to come. Explaining this pandemic is challenging. I believe it means something different for everyone. For some, it meant finally having some extra time to workout, spend time with their family, start a new hobby such as baking, watch Tiger King, or practice self-care. However, for others, it meant loneliness and sadness being isolated from loved ones. Many lost members of their families, some not even having the opportunity to say goodbye. People lost their jobs and �businesses. For me, the pandemic meant many things. I was lucky enough to be one of the people who started working out and took up baking. Although my sadness wasn’t as severe as those who had monumental losses, there were still challenging times. It was hard not seeing my friends and my boyfriend. Long distance relationships are hard enough without a global pandemic going on. For everyone, the pandemic meant adjusting and adapting to a new normal. Students all across the country had to start using Zoom and other similar platforms to get their education. Everyone had to get used to seeing loved ones living outside of their household on a phone or computer screen. While the pandemic may not have tragically affected everyone, I guarantee that everyone was affected in some way and had to adapt to a new lifestyle. There is so much gravity to this pandemic: no matter how much you try to ignore it, as many do, it’s real, and it takes a toll on everyone sometimes. When I signed up for a Human Disease colloquium in spring 2020, I had no idea how relevant it would be to today’s world. The first book we read for this class was ​COVID-19: The Pandemic that Never Should Have Happened, and How to Stop the Next One​. There were times when living on campus was stressful and confusing, so it was nice to come to class every week and not only discuss the book, but also what was happening on campus and around the country. One of the most valuable things I learned is the importance of listening to scientists and epidemiologists. The world was extremely underprepared for a coronavirus pandemic despite epidemiologists saying since the SARS outbreak of 2002 that evidence pointed to a coronavirus surfacing. Scientists have been warning for decades that this was going to happen, and if government officials around the world would have listened, COVID-19 likely would have been much less severe. Reading this book helped me realize that more needs to be done in terms of �preparing for all different kinds of viruses. Experts warned about lack of preparation, and the few countries that did have pandemic plans focused solely on the flu when there are so many other viruses, such as coronaviruses, that can and will emerge and put individuals in danger. Even with these plans in place, many countries failed to stockpile or acquire even the most basic essentials required to make the plans work. If a worldwide pandemic does not inspire future preparedness, I don’t know what will. Something needs to be done because the effects could be catastrophic if we do exactly what has been done in the past. I gained so much knowledge taking this class, and all I can do is take what I have learned and try to educate those around me and hope that countries will start taking pandemic precautions sooner rather than later. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Cross country during COVID times Description An account of the resource This picture was taken when COVID was really bad so we had to run with masks. Although wearing masks while running was safer for everyone, wearing one while running was absolutely miserable. It seemed so much harder to breathe when wearing a mask. Thankfully we were allowed to slide our masks down when we were ten feet apart from someone else but if I wanted to catch up to someone, I would have to slide my mask back up. This was extremely hard because to catch up to someone you had to run faster which meant you would breathe harder. Wearing a mask while catching up to someone was the most miserable feeling. I felt like I could not run as fast with it.

Title A name given to the resource CVS SVP Voicemail to Colleagues Description An account of the resource This was a telephone voice message from Emmanuel Kolady Senior Vice President of Eastern US CVS stores sent out to CVS colleagues reminding them of the measures being implicated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The senior vice president begins by addressing their actions to provide personal protection for colleagues. On top of the installation of plexiglass barriers at check out, UPS shipments of hands sanitizer, lysol wipes, and masks were sent in by CVS headquarters for colleague usage. Next, Kolady goes on to speak of the sick time put in place. For the first time, part-time employees are now being offered 24 hours of paid leave. If a colleague has a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher at the onset of their shift, they are allotted 72 hours of leave. Lastly, CVS began offering financial support to colleagues who need extended measures. Those who struggle with childcare are given an additional $100 per day to put towards daycare as well as a relief fund being put in place for those seeking additional financial resources given the circumstances. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Kolady & CVS Health Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource April 6, 2020 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Being a commuter and spending limited time on campus prevented me from experiencing much of the uncertainties at our college. However, working at an "essential business" during the pandemic allowed me to experience the many new regulations that continue to change the norms of every day life. On top of the changes addressed in this voicemail my city of employment, Chicopee, continued to implement more regulations to prevent the spread of the virus such as limits on purchases, regulation of what was being sold, reduced capacities of store, and reduced store hours. This calm, reassuring message displays a much different tone than what was experienced in the moment at these essential businesses. The urgency for personal protection led to expedited packages being shipped in multiple times a week in mass quantities rather than once a week yet there still remained a shortage all over the nation. Remaining open caused colleagues to adapt to new policy changes taking place almost each shift. It is questionable if some of the regulations such a plexiglass dividers will ever be lifted. The changes made during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to change the every day regularities we all once experienced and that is emphasized in this file.

When I took a flight back to campus, I was worried about potential infection at the airport. In February, things were not that bad. Only a few cases were reported in Massachusetts. Professor told us that situation may get worse in the recent future. We never thought the semester would be changed that much then. Everything was still normal. Unluckily that was the night before the storm. In the week before spring break, the situation got really bad. The number of infections increased at a rocket-like speed. I didn’t know that was my last week in class for this semester. Then spring break was extended for another week. All the classes would be online. I couldn’t see my friends and classmates for a long time. As an international student, I moved to senior suites for the rest of my semester. Luckily I still have a place to live. Thanks to the online class, I didn’t have to get up at 8 AM on most days. But I have to admit that the online class is not as efficient as a normal class. I had a bad memory so I made several assignments overdue. In the quarantine days for the rest of the semester, life was really boring. We had to stay in our room for the whole day. I just hope the pandemic can end soon. If we had to go out, we need to prepare the face mask and sterilized water. Most international flights were canceled so I cannot go home even the semester ended yesterday. I felt helpless and anxious. I may have to stay on campus in the summer. I miss my friends and family so much and I really want to go home. On the campus, the gym and outdoor basketball court were locked. We couldn’t go anywhere to exercise except running around the senior suite. I miss the gym so much. Luckily �Yucheng Tao From HSCI340 the food is still good in Cheney, we can grab every day’s meals in the afternoon. Life is not that bad but it’s really boring. I am still planning what to do in summer. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Taken May 11, 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Natalie Calo Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource May 11, 2020 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Though this photo may seem simple and cute, the picture holds a deeper meaning. It shows that at home, we are exposed to a different space in which a stable work ethic is hard to achieve. Many homes are filled with love, life, and fun but when we chose or are forced to work in this environment, we are faced with the distractions that once brought us joy. This picture is a prime and personal example for what working at home meant to me. I was surrounded by things that brought me joy and fun when I needed to stay serious. With those who have pets, doing work in an environment that was accompanied by a furry friend who had a mind of their own was risky. At any moment they could distract you and take your mind away from work. It could turn from a neat desk to a chaotic clutter in a blink of an eye. This is what working during the pandemic looked like for me: Natalie Calo.

Title A name given to the resource Don’t Forget to Wear Your Mask Description An account of the resource This photo is a string of emails sent to me, a Springfield College student, in my sophomore year here. This displays emails from the Division of Student, the Department of Public Safety, the Counseling Center, the Division of Inclusion, Lauren Mahler who is the community director of Alumni Hall, Residence Life, and Visual and Performing arts. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sara Colbert Springfield College Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource This photo shows fourteen emails sent from September 8th to November 4th in 2021. Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant I chose this string of emails because I feel like in the future masks won’t be something that’s thought about nearly as much as they are now. Seeing how important and absolutely mandatory they were to allow us to go to school might be shocking and interesting to some people. Personally I thought masks would’ve been a thing of the past by now, but with the pandemic still in full swing, they’re still mandatory. We’ve been wearing them for such a long time that it’s become part of the routine to even leave my room. I’ve gotten used to every email including “wear your mask”, so it’s not bothersome anymore, just discouraging that it’s lasted so long.

The month I was looking forward to this year. It’s when classes ended, spring began, and my birthday came. But I guess all my plans went down the drain. This isn’t your typical “what happened to you during the coronavirus pandemic” paper; I guess I am different. Unlike most of the students here, I am a commuter and a local. I couldn’t get away from what was happening around Springfield, instead, I was submerged deep into it. I am currently a junior in the Health Science major, so for me, this pandemic is a wonderful, yet terrible learning experience. My professors all took this opportunity to implement what we were learning in the current situation. As neighboring colleges decided to go online, I dreaded Springfield College doing so as well. I couldn’t get away from home, at the end of the day, I went home to my bed and slept, so school was the only other place I’d be. You’d find me in the learning commons or the Union the most. For me, it was my haven away from home, a place I could be alone and not controlled. But that too was taken away from me by the coronavirus. Having to stay home and remained home is hard for me. I share a room with my younger sister and for both of us to try to school and share a room was simply impossible. It appears I might just fail this semester. I felt all my efforts disappear and my determination with it. Going online felt impossible with my course load. All my labs online, and language class online, how was I going to do this? On top of this, my parents didn’t understand that I was supposed to be in “school-mode” not “home-mode”. There was no clean line that separated the two mindsets. For them, I was just home 24/7 and was able to answer all their calls. It was a hard switch online, to �have to keep motivated and determined to complete the semester. On top of this, most of my teachers were new to our Brightspace system, thus going online was new to both of us. Towards our finals, my brother was the one who gave me my determination once again. My brother is currently a patient care technician at Baystate Medical Center here in Springfield and a part-time student at Springfield Technical Community College. When the pandemic started to get worse, my brother was pushed deeper into the hospital and had to treat COVID-19 positive and negative patients. On top of this, he was keeping up with his course work online and keeping safe from the virus. His constant push in the hospital and at school inspired me to push through school and finish on a big note. Being home was different now. My parents always tried to teach me something I had already known and understood. They would tell me something different about the pandemic and when I try to tell them otherwise, they tell me no and that I’m wrong. Last time I checked; I am the one getting a degree in this. With this constant attitude for the last couple of months, I grew an extra skin and pride in my major. Therefore, I wanted to go into health sciences, because of no matter if the world was ending, public health and health care are always there. The world did an amazing job responding, especially Vietnam. And yes, I am Vietnamese-American, so I am extremely proud. However less proud of how the U.S. handled itself in this situation. I felt more anger run through my body as I watched the news and protesters go on and on. How could you fail humankind in such a time of need, where selfishness is out in the open? I hope this pandemic can teach our government officials a lesson and the citizens as well. There is no one way of doing things and everyone is missing information or are too ignorant to except anything other than what they think is right. �This pandemic gave people a reason to point fingers and blame others. It gave people a reason to be ignorant and selfish. It revealed the problems the United States had with their response to this virus or the lack of response. It also revealed to me who I was as a person, where my haven was, and just how much I missed being able to have books surrounding me while I do my homework. I know that I have taken school for granted. The coronavirus pandemic became our new normality for the time being, and that changed is needed to be done before we can go back to the old days. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 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. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists.
