After my first semester of college comes to a close, sitting on my bed at home, not with my friends back on campus, a time for reflection is definitely necessary. I have been told time and time again what a hard of a semester this was, how hard it was for everyone and how not normal and weird it turned out to be. I would have to agree that it was quite weird and not exactly what I thought college would end up being like. Having limitations in the caf, awkward zoom classes, little face to face contact, masks -everywhere- and very few activities from student life; like my picture at the beginning of the semester we had a virtual paint night, we picked up our own set of paints and brushes and got on a zoom call to follow some steps for the painting. This has all just felt like normal college antics because this is all I know. I came in with this idea of what it could be like but one thing that 2020 has definitely taught us is to just go with the flow and understand that things are going to be different. Now this semester really held true to 2020, but I had plenty of redeeming times. Made new friends, live with a really awesome roommate, get a little taste of what college is like and become the person that I really want to be.
