A virtual start to a new life journey

Title (Dublin Core)

A virtual start to a new life journey

Description (Dublin Core)

The Covid-19 pandemic has effected everyone in all sorts of ways. Personally, it has majorly impacted me with the start of a new chapter in my life; college. My whole life, I imagined starting college on a much different note. I imagined the last few months of high school and my summer as: attending my high school graduation, celebrating graduation parties, enjoying my summer to the fullest, taking trips to the beach, traveling, getting ready for back to school, be at going away parties for my close friends, going on campus for my first day of college classes, and meeting some great new friends at the start of a new journey of my life. Obviously, Covid-19 effected all of this. Instead, my last 4 months of in-person high school was cancelled, graduation was socially distanced, summer had to be spent in masks and socially distanced, and starting college online was the road I ended up taking. Gratefully, I am healthy and living- but this pandemic has majorly effected this huge part of my life, where things were supposed to be exciting and memorable. I will say, this is going to be very memorable, but not the way I intended it to be.
