When the Coronavirus began to strike, I was not initially worried. I was a fairly sanitary person, I kept to myself, and with the exception of my job and my friends on the George Mason University campus, I had no real fear of catching this new virus. A problem occurred when the university made the decision to extend Spring Break. While my significant other and I both had jobs, I was without a steady food source for some time with the eating locations closed that I would not have to spend money on. The amount of fast food I ate was a little obnoxious.
Then the real bad news hit. The campus was kicking people out in order to maintain safety and healthy conditions in the school by removing students. I was essentially let go from my job, and my significant other was in a similar situation. As much as she wanted to go home, she had no where for her job to transfer her to where her parents lived. Her commute to work would have been a 50-minute drive, which is very obviously absurd to a college student to be driving to get to work. She was devastated that she would have to leave her job. Luckily, however, I was able to convince my folks to open up the spare room to her so she could transfer her work situation, which was a mere five minutes from my home. Not only that, but I managed to get a job at the same location as her, and we were able to sort out a financial plan for the summer in order to move into our own apartment come the end of June.
These trying times have people floundering for necessities and being so aggressive and conservative about their wealth and concern and wellbeing. Although it may be somewhat understandable, the rest of the world is similarly floundering to maintain their health and livelihood. There is no reason for the aggression and agitation towards each other. Help a friend or loved one out when and where you can. It could mean the world to them.
