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. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Covid-19 was very impactful in a negative way during the spring. First off it ruined my winter because I was forced to workout in my basement with body weight exercises and that took a toll on me. Another reason was in school when we shut down I never thought that would be the end of my high school tenure. I was very sad when it set in that it really was the end. I wasn’t able to experience my senior prom, senior trip, aloha day or graduation. These are all things that i was looking forward to and it really tore me apart. Next was baseball. Our team was planning on defending our state championship and western mass championship. And I was planning on cherishing my last moments on the diamond. Well none of that happened. Our season was cancelled and I would never get to play for our team again. We were such a close group and to play our last games together without knowing the previous year was a tough pill to swallow. This summer i had to pick up new hobbies fishing and hiking and it really got me to go out of my comfort zone which was cool. And finally, one that probably covid had affected everyone in a way - mental health. The isolation combined with heartbreak almost broke me ina way. �How covid affected my life Luke Whitehouse �school In school I couldn’t experience prom, the final pep rally and graduation. This was one of the worst things that could have happened. Every memory that your supposed to cherish during your senior year, i couldn’t get to. �sports Baseball is my favorite sport and unfortunately i could not play my senior year and get the chance to repeat as a state champion. The “one last ride” wasn’t cherishable because i didn't even know that my junior year was that. �The GYM Working out is a huge part of my life - it's basically my passion. To have all the gyms shutdown was really really hard to deal with. I couldn’t lift and i had to get creative. This effected me as i wasn’t in the shape that i wanted to be in. �My summer I had to develop different hobbies that were more socially distant and could be done alone. I tried hiking, fishing, and video games. This was really hard and pushed me out of my comfort zone. �My mental health During covid-19 i had recently been involved in a breakup and mentally i was all over the place. When qurentine was in effect, i felt lonely and isolated because i couldn’t hangout with people and do things to get my mind off her. I always smiled around my parents and acted like i was okay and i ended up being fine, but it did affect me. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It sent the world into panic and forced people to adjust in ways that we have never seen before. Adults were forced to work from home, and many lost their jobs, while students were sent home from school for what would end up being the duration of the school year. I was one of those many students that was set to graduate in 2020 and make their summer going into college the best yet. Unfortunately, my senior year was cut short, graduation was celebrated through the passenger seat of a car, my summer was spent wearing a mask, and somehow this new way of living through a pandemic became somewhat normal. However, what students like me had to endure this year is unheard of and the complete opposite of normal. No prom, no celebrating, no gatherings, no way to live as freely as we did in the past. Throughout this series of photographs it will become very clear of exactly how unusual life has been from the point I left high school in March to when I arrived to college in August. �Decision Day Decision day for most seniors occurs on May 1st. It’s usually a day for students to announce what they want to do after high school, and most importantly, it happens in school. Nothing was normal about my situation though. I decided that I would continue my education at Springfield in my house surrounded by my immediate family. It was strange to not be with my classmates in our college sweatshirts, and celebrating our futures but this was what Covid-19 had done to me and every senior in Massachusetts. �Graduation Graduation was unique in every sense of the word. My high school set up a “drive up” ceremony for my classmates and I. Teachers and staff sat along the driving route to encourage us through the windows of our cars. As students, we could only wave and look at the people that supported us from a distance. All sitting 6 feet apart, it was difficult to really see what the world had come to. I drove up to the stage at the end of the route, got out of my car, received my diploma from my principal and went home. In a matter of 20 seconds, I had graduated high school in a way I never thought was possible. �A Summer full of “Hanging Out” Summer was supposed to be fun, exciting, and full of memories with friends. This image is a display of how my friends and I spent time together during the quarantine phase of Covid-19. In order to stay socially distanced, we met up at our old elementary school and stayed in our cars in order to communicate with each other. It was strange and challenging at first so we had to improvise the best we could even though it seemed like we were all trapped. However, it taught us all a valuable lesson about how important it is to appreciate life without policies like social distancing and wearing masks. �A Quiet Vacation During this pandemic, a vacation was crucial to relieve built up stress from everything going on with school and life in general. It was questionable if a vacation was even an option because of the travel guidelines that Covid required us to follow. This picture was taken in York, Maine of what is usually a jam packed boardwalk on a beach. I was fortunate enough to go but many people weren’t and this is shown here. There is nobody around me, and there are very few people in the distance. The lack of people changed the normal vacation experience but it still made it just as memorable. �College: A New Beginning Arriving on campus was an unforgettable experience. My mom and I took the hour and a half drive from my hometown to campus, and had no idea what to expect. We got here and the first thing I had to do was get tested for coronavirus. After my test I moved into my dorm and took a quick walk around campus. It felt empty and quiet, and nothing close to what I imagined my first day on campus to be like. I remember walking by the James Naismith statue and seeing the mask on his face, I was amazed that this was going to be the reality of life for the foreseeable future. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Everything that year would be perfect. I had an amazing group of friends, a parking spot, a free period at the end of the day to leave early, and an easy schedule. This was the year that I was going to make New Balance Track and Field Nationals for hammer throw. I knew where I wanted to go to college and my essay and application were already sent in. I could not wait for homecoming, prom, graduation, and senior trips. I had all the important stuff done so I could make the most out of my senior year. This was going to be the best year of my life, and there was nothing that could stop it. -------September 5, 2019. My right wrist, my dominant side, had been bothering me a little from an injury I acquired in June, so I decided to go get it checked out. I figured it couldn’t be too bad, as I was throwing and lifting all summer with what I convinced myself was minimal pain. It was probably just tendonitis or something like that. By stepping in the doctor’s office that was the start of a downward spiral. They told me I needed to get another x-ray. I didn’t think much of it at first because I got x-rays in June and there was no break, but I was a little nervous as the doctor was so adamant on getting more x-rays. After I got the x-rays, I swore it took an eternity for the doctor to come back into the room. My dad and I were sitting there trying to be optimistic, but with each passing moment, our hopes began to fade away, as we knew what our fate would be. �When the doctor came back in, he had a grim look on his face. He told me the bone was broken and had been since I first injured it in June. I could barely believe it, but when he pulled up the x-rays there was no denying it. There was a hole right in the middle of the bone. We scheduled surgery and went on our way. I guess having a broken wrist isn’t the worst that could happen. All it meant was that I needed a cast for a few months and surgery. I would be ready to compete by my spring track season, and that I had much more to look forward to! --October 4, 2019, the day of my surgery. I honestly wasn’t even that nervous. I just knew that having surgery would make me better in the long term, even though there was quite a bit of suffering in the short term. I was more upset about how I had to miss the Homecoming dance, as it was the first of the many senior traditions to come. But that was okay! I still had Prom in the spring! --December 21, 2019, the first day of my indoor track and field season. Although I still couldn’t throw on my dominant hand, I decided I would switch to my non-dominant to still have a fun senior season. I quickly realized that there was no way to have a fun season with the head coach I had. The coach would tell me I wasn’t throwing far enough, and that I needed to be better. He was never happy for me when I hit a new personal record. Instead he just said that it needed to go further. Although he caused many tears, I just knew I needed to wait until outdoor when I could really show him that I could throw. --- �January 1, 2020. I spent the New Year celebrating with my friends and could not wait for what was to come. I was graduating in the spring and was heading to Springfield College in the fall. Nothing could go wrong! --February 4, 2020, four months after my surgery. I went into my doctor’s office that day optimistic, but I left feeling crushed. I found out that my wrist would never heal and it would always cause me pain. It wasn’t that bad because my doctor told me I could still do everything, but just know that pain might come with it. I left the appointment trying to be positive, excited to start throwing hammer in the upcoming outdoor season. --March 12, 2020. Coronavirus was a new term, and people were starting to freak out about it. NCAA had just cancelled all their winter tournaments. But that wasn’t a big deal, there was no way this was going to affect my small town. --March 13, 2020. Of course, it was Friday the Thirteenth. But there was nothing that could go wrong. That’s just a silly superstition. We were sitting in the first period when the announcement came on the loudspeaker. We were going to have two weeks off school due to the Coronavirus. Everyone was a little nervous, but we didn’t think that much of it. Plus other schools around us were shutting down for 2 weeks �too. It was just two weeks of vacation and then we would be back up and running to finish out our senior year. --Friday, March 20, 2020 the day my school announced they were going to start doing online learning. This wasn’t that big of a deal because it was only temporary, and this whole quarantine thing was already starting to get boring anyway. --May 5, 2020. We had not been to school in person in almost two months. I had not seen any of my friends in a long time, and all hope was starting to be lost. We had already missed our senior trip, and we were not very hopeful about prom and graduation in the coming weeks. Our last shred of hope was lost when Governor Lamont made the announcement that we would not be going back to school for the remainder of that year. That meant no prom, no graduation, no chance to see friends, and no track and field nationals. I don’t think I had ever cried so much in one day. --June 12, 2020. Our school decided to make the best out of the situation. We were given a graduation car parade and car ceremony. It wasn’t normal by any means, but it was as close to closure as we could get, and it felt nice to get some recognition, even if we were the quarantined class of 2020. --- �Now, as I sit in my dorm room at Springfield College on October 22, 2020, I still have many unknowns in my future. Coronavirus is still greatly impacting my life. Not only did I miss so much, but I now have to wear a mask to do everything, even if it is just to go brush my teeth. Most of my classes are online, making social interaction difficult, but I am still glad that I am here. Right now, we have at least 11 cases on campus, with that number increasing greatly in the past week. The uprise in cases has shut down athletics and quarantined many students. Everyday they keep telling us something new for when sports can start again. As much as I am trying to stay hopeful, I feel like my last year is repeating itself all over again. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

After being told I was not going back to college last March, it seemed crazy, and it finally felt like “wow this is very serious”. Not going to school meant no field hockey for me, and I did not know how to feel about that. Living at home meant waking up, logging on to my 8:00 AM Bio lecture every Monday and Tuesday, and debating whether or not to fall back asleep. When I was at school, it was easier, because I was forced to get up and take notes, now it was all just too weird. I would log on one class session just to wait ten minutes to log onto the next, without even having to leave my bedroom. There was no “real” interaction and it didn’t even seem like normal college. Also, having to stay on Zoom with my Bio Lab professor for three hours once a week was not exactly something I’d describe as “fun.” Before, when we attended class in person, my roommate and I would dread heading to class, but hey at least you get to move around and actually look at real stuff with real people around you. Instead, we watched videos of dissections -- Woohoo! The gyms in New York where I live were closed, so I made the most out of my basement exercise area. I would do workouts, and did my best to stay pretty consistent. I am typically one to stay motivated on my own when it comes to exercising and personal health, but it was so different without a team to do it with. Obviously, I couldn’t do as much as I did at school either, not having a full gym, and only a few dumbbells to work with. It got to be a bit boring, but as it got warmer outside, I started going to a field to practice field hockey- but obviously I had to play it alone. My high school turf field was closed from March through September. I had to drive an extra 15 minutes to be able play on a different field that was open. �This did not stop me though, anything to get out of the house after being stuck in it for months was okay by me. By June, my boss called me back to work! I was so excited. I used to dread going to work, and did not like being with all the kids. I work at a daycare and have done so since 10th grade in high school. I always thought it was terrible. But, once I realized I could go back, I was so happy to be able to get out of the house for even work and the interactions. Being in quarantine in the summer was not as bad as the March-May period, because it was warmer outside and just a better atmosphere in general. March, April, May, and the beginning of June kind of really stunk. Once I got to work in June though, and the sun was out, I was feeling much better. All I did was wake up, go to the basement to workout, came home, and sat outside. I always thought “Oh I’ll be in shape for preseason, the gym will open soon!” But no, the gym never opened, and preseason never happened. I was excited for the beginning of August, because my field hockey preseason would be starting at my new school (college). Transferring was scary, and kind of weird during this time but I was still excited to meet everyone. As the preseason date approached, we sadly found out we’d have no season. Therefore, moving in was delayed and we would ultimately arrive on campus with everyone else at the end of August. As the weeks went on my local gym never opened either; Governor Cuomo hadn’t opened them until I left for school. When I finally got to school, it was weird because everyone I met had a mask on -- how would I know what all these new people really looked like? How would I remember everyone’s name? My roommate introduced me to a bunch of people, and she was a returning sophomore, but it was still very weird, and definitely not a normal feeling to me. I met the rest of the sophomores on the field hockey team through my roommate though, and that helped make it �easier to get to know and remember all these new girls. Socializing on weekends though, note – it just doesn’t happen. It feels weird and not exactly like college and remains very different from my freshman experience last year. So far field hockey practices and lift-days are alright. We are grouped into small “pods” of teammates and cannot scrimmage on a full field yet. During lifts we are all spaced out and can only use certain weights assigned to us. Other than that, I am glad to be able to practice with a team, even if we cannot play. Overall, the Coronavirus Pandemic has been a very strange time, and everyone adapts differently. I think without it though, I would not be the person I am today. I wouldn’t wish such a difficult world event or situation to occur at any time-period of period, but if there is a bright side, it did allow me and others that I am close with, to learn and grow from such a challenging event. Even though it is weird, I think it can be helpful if we all do our best to relax, accept the situation which we cannot control, and in the end all we can do is make the most out of it. � 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 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 Photo of a banner we spray painted during orientation. Photo of one of the activities we played during orientation. 4 �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. 8 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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. � 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 did not hate it, but I most definitely did not like it either. The workload for my classes seemed to have doubled and it was hard to communicate since we did not use zoom or calls. We simply did the work and sent it in. I remember all my friends looking forward to a proper graduation and their sports, then being saddened by the fact that neither was possible with the pandemic. I am personally, someone who enjoys time to themselves and keeps away from crowds. Only exceptions are when my close friends invite me for an activity, since its usually only 6-7 people. Other than that, I do not mind being at home, I have a pc I built at home that I use to speak and game with my friends online and do work. I honestly did not really care for the sentimental things of high school such as a “proper” graduation or breathtaking prom, but I can tell many around me were very frustrated and disappointed. I understood their feelings and it made me feel miserable since everyone was so negative, and it just cemented the gloomy vibe of Covid. So, everyone basically wanted 2020 over with, but I did not mind the outbreak in the beginning, until the sinking feeling of boredom annoyed me to the end. I could be riding on the quad with Joel or play tennis with my partner if it were not for the pandemic. When graduation arrived, it felt anticlimactic, my four years of high school comes to an end in a few seconds. I got my diploma, my pictures and drove home. There was a lot of parties my family had despite the limit that was placed... We are a Vietnamese family, and my grandparents specifically, like to have “get togethers” as often as they can. Obviously due to the pandemic some will not come, and I tend to stay home as well. I was very scared for my grandparents since they were both healthily active for their age, my grandfather plays tennis nearly every day and my grandmother loves to �work. I would occasionally call them to check up on how they are doing, and I would never dare to miss a call from them. As I got ready for college, there was an immense pressure to not lose my scholarship and financial aid. I joined as an online student and my first two weeks were very difficult. I mixed up my two scheduled classes and switched my major. Luckily thanks to SC’s kind staff, I managed to get back on track. I still have a few of my close friends who come and hang out, while three went off to college in Rhode Island whom I still play online games with. Now I wake up to a daily routine and I feel like its unhealthy. I feel less motivated and robotic. I wake up to seven different alarms, take a shower and join class. I finish class, do homework, eat, shower, sleep, and repeat. The Covid-19 pandemic took away my liberty to walk around in public, enjoy time with friends, and uphold family traditions. I took many things for granted, such as eating out with family, or having fun with my cousins. It is simply regrettable. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My international relations class had been discussing the possible ramifications of a global pandemic and what it would look like in the US, blind to the fact that it would only be a matter of time before we too were quarantined. When cases began to pop up across the country, I refused to believe that my small town of Suffield Connecticut would ever be in danger from the virus, but I was mistaken. Surrounding towns began to see surges in cases, especially among the older demographic. Nursery homes and retirement centers were the first to feel the impact of the virus, next schools, then everywhere seemed to have cases. The deaths of several turned to the deaths of hundreds across the state and before I could fully understand what was happening, my life would be put on hold. It was Thursday when the news first broke that Connecticut would be looking to implement a quarantine. I tried to consider what would change in my daily life. The end of my senior season with my swim team was fast approaching. My team had trained the whole week and was preparing for the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) states meet. Three months of training every day for two hours had been building to this point, but we would never be able to compete one last time. Hearing that CIAC was shutting down all athletic events indefinitely seemed like a fantasy to me. I didn’t want to believe that my 4 year tenure with my team would end like this. My senior swim season, the season that should’ve been the most memorable in my early career was tarnished. Anger was the first emotion that I experienced. I was frustrated that the students participating in these events didn’t have any say in the decision to close down athletics, upset that CIAC couldn’t have let the last two weeks of the season play out and deal with Covid-19 afterward. At one point, several petitions were created in hopes of sending a message to the �director of CIAC that we wanted to compete, us seniors needed closure. Despite thousands of signatures on these petitions, the ruling was definite. All that was left to me now were the classes I shared and enjoyed with my friends. Not a week went by before the announcement was made school would be closing down until Spring break with a possibility of complete online education being implemented for the rest of the year. I had only just come to terms with not racing one last time, but now I was being told I may not see hundreds of people I had spent the last eleven years of my life around ever again. We were left with one week to enjoy a normal life before saying goodbye. My friends and I agreed to stay in contact through text, facetime, Snapchat, whatever necessary to remain sane during our quarantine, but nothing could combat the feeling of isolation that was soon to come. March 20th was the beginning of quarantine for our community and most of Connecticut. The governor had enacted several guidelines and regulations to ensure as little exposure from the public was necessary. Stores reduced their hours or closed down, gyms closed, schools closed their facilities, masks were required when indoors, etc. This created a massive change in how my family and myself conducted our daily lives. We had to conserve what we could to limit our trips to public places like grocery stores. We had to be cognizant of how much we were consuming because the masses were stockpiling things like toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Personally, altered my health habits because gyms and many facilities were closed. I began to run and track calories to hold off the quarantine fifteen so many were seeing. My place of employment had to change how we did business. These changes become permanent from the end of March to the beginning of June for our little community. The end of May came with an email from my board of education saying graduation would take place on June 6th. It would not be the graduation ceremony I wanted, but it would �suffice given the circumstances. The parking lot would be transformed so that each family could have a spot and park their car. Each student would individually walk up to the front stand and receive their diploma. Receiving my diploma lifted a weight off my shoulders. It felt like I didn’t have to think about being a senior anymore, I could just look towards the future rather than what I missed in the past few months. Shortly after graduating the state coincidentally began to reopen businesses with social distancing and mask-wearing still in place. This allowed my friends and family to finally step outside and enjoy each other’s company. For the remainder of the summer, I continued my healthy living and began to partake in some instances of normal living. I was able to see my close friends several times and take many, many hikes through nature. Life seemed to be somewhat normal for some time. With summer coming to a close and the beginning of college fast approaching, the normalcy of life began to dissipate once more. Soon I would have to re-enter the habit of wearing a mask almost everywhere, online classes, and limited time with friends. While it seems like a drastic change from where we were just months ago, it all is beginning to feel like a new normal. It’s now become a strange sight to see someone without a mask or not socially distancing themselves from others. Now, I’m waiting to see if this becomes a semi-permanent normal, or just how life will be for the next few months. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When I read this i thought nothing of it, I thought so what? It's a small virus across the world. A few weeks later I was sitting in my house completely separated from the life I was living just a month ago. When the lock down first started I was ecstatic, my last year of highschool and i didnt even have to do school work to finish it out. I already wanted to be home all day anyway so how hard would it be to stay home for a month or two? It was over this time I fully realized the scope of the situation I had entered. My experience with the COVID-19 pandemic has been an ever evolving puzzle of new challenges that I along with everyone around me has had to figure out to navigate. The moment my mom told me that school had been canceled for the foreseeable future i could not have been happier. I didn't necessarily hate school, but it being the back half of my senior year I really felt like I was waiting out the last few months anyways. After the first couple of days of the lock down I was slowly learning the scope of this virus. I was seeing news reports of increased cases by thousands everyday. I started to realize the things I had given up to keep ma and my family members safe. Things like hanging out with friends, all the senior year activities like the class trip and graduation were the last thought in anyone's mind. The first few weeks of lockdown are really hard to remember because everyday was exactly the same as the day before. I would wake up mid-day and try to find anything to do around the house that usually consisted of finding something to eat, playing video games with my friends and sleeping. �2 This lifestyle quickly became extremely tedious and extremely boring and i was extremely lucky that I was one of the few people nationwide that was still working a job. There is not much more I can really say about the first few months of the lock down, it was just a repetitive process of waking up and waiting inside my house for any information about what we were to do next. The unique part of my experience with lockdown is that I worked in a grocery store through the lock down. For the first month or two while I stuck at home while everything was closed and still trying to figure out the only business open were the essential business and this included the local grocery store i worked at. Before the pandemic I absolutely hated the tedious nature of my cashiers job but it was good highschool money and something to put on my resume so I reluctantly stuck with it through my senior year of highschool. I quickly learned that I was extremely lucky to have this job. Firstly I was one of the few people still actively working a job and making an income, I felt bad because I didn't necessarily need this job, I didn't have anyone relying on me or a family to provide for but since the store couldn't train any new employees during the pandemic I stayed because it was good money and the store needed all the help it could get. The store offered increased hourly wages for working during the pandemic as an incentive for employees to keep working, but after those first few weeks of lockdown I didn't need the extra pay, I was just happy to have a reason to leave my house. I believe that working this job helped me deal with the stress of the lockdown because it helped me take my mind off the current world epidemic. Some immediate changes I noticed in the store were that everyone had to wear masks and gloves at all times, our shifts increased to six hours and we had to count the number of people that entered the store because we had a maximum capacity. I was never nervous about contracting COVID, i lived in an area with very low case numbers and my brother was and still is an EMT so he was also working through the lockdown so I figured if i get it, I get it. The virus generally didn't seem to do too much to people of my age. The most recent part of my COVID experience has been trying to attend my first year of college both in person and online. I am at this moment a student at Springfield College and �3 while I commend the effort by the school to give the most normal version of a freshman year possible it's definitely been a unique experience. Move in day was spaced out into three days and the tricky part of this part of move in day was that you had to pack for college like you could be sent home by next week. The threat of an outbreak always looms around campus, meaning that we would all be sent home immediately to finish the semester virtually. Exactly half of my classes are in person and online. Personally I find that online classes suck, it's hard to stare at a computer screen in a zoom meeting for an hour but like all other situations in this pandemic we have no choice but to continue to wait to get back to the new normal. The in person classes also suffer, teachers are forced to use online content to teach their classes. They no longer have access to field trips, outside the classroom examples, and even in some classes paper handout to rely on. For example, I'm taking an Event Management class currently and one of the assignments is to put on and host an event. My group has had to postpone and cancel our event because of virus concerts. This makes it harder to really get that critical hands on experience that this usually has to offer. My overall college experiences with the social distancing rules and regulations hasn't been necessarily bad, just another new situation that staff and students have to figure out to the best of their ability. The puzzle of the ever evolving “new normal’ is and will continue to be challenging to navigate and work through. Even though I think the worst of it is behind us, that being the complete lockdown of the country, I believe that it will be years before what we consider normal will come back. This had definitely been a experience that few generations ever ever have to go through and i can say while it hasn't been pleasurable it is interesting to think about my place in the history of the worldwide epidemic. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The last stretch before really being considered an adult. I was beyond excited. We were finally allowed to eat outside during lunch, come in late if we had a study, got the good parking spots up front, we could even have coffee which was very important on the days that dragged on. I was most excited for friday night football games under the lights, standing on the sidelines with the rest of my team and winning the homecoming game. But that didn’t exactly happen. EEE took away the lights from us and almost took the whole season with it. Luckily we played through. We didn’t know it yet but those days were the very start of the curse of 2020. In December, word of the so-called “Coronavirus” started spreading through the media. I can remember seeing a bunch of different memes about it but not thinking anything of it because it was so far away from us all the way in China. Then by the end of January things started getting serious. January 20th, ten days before my 18th birthday, the first Covid case in the U.S. was reported. I was terrified. All the jokes we made about how it could never get here came back to haunt us. This was really happening. We managed to survive February in my town. All was going well up until the middle of March when a guy from the high school a town over was confirmed of having it. It was the week before March Madness Spirit Week which was HUGE at my high school. It was also the week of my final football banquet and the beginning of practices for the lacrosse team. On March 13th my world stopped dead in its tracks. At the end of that day there was an announcement and I remember it clear as day, “The high school will be �closing down for two weeks for safety reasons. All students should bring home books and supplies necessary to complete homework for said time.” We were so excited because we got an extra two weeks off from school and when we came back, there’d be one week of class and then April Vacation. However that turned out not to be the case. Two weeks turned into three, then four, and then the whole rest of the year. That announcement was just one of things that caused my world to crumble. Right after school ended, I was in the band room for the weekly Tri-M Music Honors Society meeting and I got a text from my dad; “Call me - we need to talk.” I don’t know about anyone else’s dad but when I get texts like those it's never a good thing, especially when it's two o’clock in the afternoon and I know he’s still at work. I left my meeting early because I knew this had to be important. For a little background, my parents are divorced and have been since the beginning of my freshman year of high school so I’d only get to see him once every other weekend. I, having always been my dad’s little girl, took it really hard at first and still struggle with it to this day because we’ve always been so close. At the time he asked me to call him, he was living in my grandmother’s house and was taking care of her because she got knee surgery and couldn’t walk around the house yet and had just beaten cancer a few years prior. When he answered the phone, I could tell he was already choked up. He tells me that because of the Coronavirus shutting down schools and because Mimi’s immune system was still very weak, I couldn’t come over to see her which also meant I couldn’t see him either for at least a month. The news hit me like a bus. I started tearing up immediately because that day I was supposed to see the both of them. It was hard having the one thing you were looking forward to all day be the thing that got ripped away from you in an instant. I got off of the phone and it took everything in me not to cry. I felt like the world stopped and everyone was looking at me. There was so much that happened within an hour and I couldn’t control it and it was killing me. I just needed a hug. Then quarantine happened and my mental health took the biggest hit. I became extremely unmotivated and didn’t want to do anything. I holed myself up in my room and didn't �do anything except my online classes/homework, sleeping, eating, and watching Netflix. My body started to feel so weak because I would barely move from my bed. I went from dancing at least two hours everyday of the week and weekend in the studio to only an hour every other day of the week. Dancing became my outlet for my emotions. On Wednesdays we’d have a combination class where my teacher would teach 2 8-counts of a combo and let us improvise for the rest of the song. The songs would always be in the contemporary style so every week it was like I got to write down my feelings on a page except it was my body writing words on the walls of my bedroom. Dancing was one of the things I missed the most. The girls on my team are some of the closest friends I’ve had and it took a huge toll on all of us when we found out we weren’t going to have a final competition season. I didn’t hang out with my friends, although I really wanted to, because I wanted to see my dad and grandmother. It was one of the only two things keeping me somewhat focussed on school. The other was I knew if I failed any of my classes I wouldn’t get to graduate. Fast forward a few months through quarantine, online schooling, and LOTS of Netflix, it was almost June which meant I finally got to graduate. I had been waiting for this day for four years. Our school was very hesitant about letting us have a ceremony because there were 169 kids in my class. The administration settled on a drive-by graduation where we’d drive up to the front of the school, take our diploma, walk to the center of the small stage, switch our tassel, take a picture, and leave. I was somewhat thankful that we didn’t have to sit in the sun for hours like we would have if it was completely normal but it wasn’t great either. I was just happy it was over and I was free of the burden that was high school and all the drama that went with it; especially during quarantine. Going through what I did id something that I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemies. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My parents being separated, I rarely spent time with them because my father lived in the city and my mom was then working at the hospital everyday. It was a time when there was no way we could see our friends and elders, the people with whom I’d spend a majority of my days with. I had never experienced such a state of loneliness and boredom. It was a very hard time for me in terms of adjustment �but once regulations started to lift, I had one of the best summers of my entire life. �My mother being a nurse during the pandemic, she was exposed daily to the virus and the harsh reality of how dangerous it was. When she came home after long hours, not once did she complain about being tired but instead greeted me with love and hopeful words. I was more impacted by the fact that she wasn’t home often over the fear of her and I getting sick because at the time I still couldn’t understand how deadly covid was. Before quarantine, I would go from school to practice so we always seemed to come home at the same time everyday but because we were no longer allowed to do those things, I was home alone for most of the days. Luckily quarantine came after the end of my senior year volleyball season and I was able to have the last high school season of my favorite sport. My club season was unfortunately cancelled before we could go to nationals and I had to lose some recruitment opportunities. Going from doing what I loved daily to it being ripped away so unexpectedly, I was impacted in a way that left me unable to find a positive in this situation. I remember being so regretful that I didn’t do more or thank my coaches in person as much as they deserved. �Unable to see all my friends for months, I was consumed with thoughts of how routinely I treated seeing the people I loved everyday. I seemed to dwell on every encounter I had with my friends the last time I was around them and was unsatisfied with almost every one after �thinking of what exactly we said to each other. Of course we all stayed in contact through technology but that could never match hearing and being so closely around them. �Communicating with my friends and teachers through a computer screen for my last year of high school was something I could’ve never expected. Having ADHD, this negatively affected my grades and made it very hard to retain and understand the information we were being taught because of all the distractions at home. I thought of all the absences I had that September through February and couldn’t believe how much I took school for granted. ��On a positive note, by the summer my town had many of the regulations lifted and my friends and I could do some of the things we missed dearly. We had all our prom, senior plans, graduation, etc. taken away only for them to be given back to us over the summer by our amazing school system. We had a masked graduation that allowed us to walk out in front of our families, the ability to have graduation parties with under 50 people, and a socially distanced senior picnic that allowed us to see our teachers one last time before going off to school. Quarantine taught me the difficulties that came with isolation but the happiness that came with finally feeling free. I learned and will remember forever that better days always follow the bad ones. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On that day, I recorded a video of myself explaining my feelings about the situation. I explained that I was not concerned and that I thought it would all blow over within the week and everything would go back to normal. As days went by, I continued to discredit the severity of the situation. Eventually my hopes of a quick turn diminished and the reality of the situation set in. The next few months of my life were going to be like no other I had ever experienced. It was officially my last day of highschool. I didn’t want to be in that place ever, but that day I just couldn’t believe that I didn’t have the decision to come back on Monday. I had to start an online class which for me, wasn’t all that bad. The final project every senior has to do, I didn't. Every assignment that they said was going to be graded, I didn’t do. My highschool only took the grades of my first three quarters of the year so I was very nonchalant towards school when we started remote learning. In my highschool career it wasnt that I liked school, however I liked being there. Seeing my friends and messing around all day was something that I loved and when I left school it was the start of me missing out on things because of this absurd pandemic. I realized that the kids who I saw in school but didn’t usually hangout with, I would probably never see again.Thoughts like these plagued my brain over the coming months and this was the first of many I would have to overcome. No more school also meant no prom, no graduation and �Joyce 2 most importantly for me no senior season of high school baseball. Instead, I would be sitting in my mom’s basement eating Cool Ranch Doritos and binge watching the Netflix Original show, Outer Banks. Quarantine. The act of isolating yourself from society in order to prevent the spread of a disease. Something that became a regular thing for the inhabitants of planet Earth in the year 2020. Everybody and their mother was hunkered down in their house, leaving only for essential activities such as grocery shopping for months on end. Non-essential activities were monitored and shut down. One thing I will never forget was when me and a few of my friends began to start playing pickup basketball at a local outdoor court. Eventually we were reported to the police and kicked off the court as well as being threatened with fines and detainment if we did not comply with the officers. We were stuck. Even something as seemingly harmless as playing 3v3 basketball was almost considered criminal. All there was left to do was go back to our houses and drown ourselves in our Xbox’s and Iphones. This kind of containment also caused lots of stress on my family. Four college aged men, along with 2 parents in the process of a divorce and a preadolescent, annoying 12 year old, all trapped under one roof. 2020 was also the first year in my entire life that we did not travel to my Grandparents house or go to church for Easter festivities. It was chaos and everyone drove everyone insane. To make every and all matters worse, face masks became a requirement any time one was to leave their house. Not only are the masks uncomfortable but there is extreme question on how worth it, it even is to wear them. Sometimes, you would forget to grab a mask before leaving the house and not realize until you arrive at your destination. Next thing you know, you are walking �Joyce 3 around the local walmart with a dirty pair of sweatpants that you found in the trunk of your car tied around your head. When establishments and activities finally did start to open back up to the public, the requirement of masks made it difficult to breathe. My biggest struggle with the masks was during my high level soccer practices. As a college level athlete, I participated in high intensity and cardiovascularly strenuous activities. My abilities were limited considerably due to the masks despite my relatively strong conditioning. When I departed for college at the end of the summer, I was expecting for things to get better but I was met with a rude awakening. It may even be worse. I am now required to wear a mask on my way to the bathroom, while doing my laundry, while attending classes and just about any time that I am not in my 10x15 foot dorm room. I have also racked up 150$ worth of Covid-19 related fines and multiple reflection and apology papers since my arrival to the Campus of Springfield College. I also find myself doing some sort of assignment related to Covid-19 at a rate of what seems like every day. This document is proof of that. As mentioned earlier, I am an athlete at college but you might not even be able to tell due to the fact that practice gets cancelled every other week due to the most recent outbreak of active cases on campus. The college experience has been completely altered due to the Covid-19 Virus. It is now October and my original hopes of the virus scare blowing over quickly have completely and utterly diminished. I have no idea what the future holds in terms of the virus and at this current point in time but I am very unhopeful. I am yet to contract the virus but it has still affected almost every aspect of my life including my mental,social, and physical health as well as my family life, my religion, my personal life, my comfort and much more. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
