  College During Quarentine

  So the semester is basically over now. While I do have a few more days to finish up final projects I’m just about finished. With that I can confidently say that being in college during a pandemic is strange, and finals during this has been absolutely wild. I’ve had classes where teachers simplified everything to help the students deal with everything, but I’ve also had teachers essentially double the workload each week because we “have more time now.” I have teachers and classmates talking about my home over zoom. I’ve missed entire classes because the email with the link and time for the zoom meeting didn’t show up until an hour after it ended. Staying motivated has been more and more difficult as time has gone on, and with every class opting for a final project or essay rather than a test has left me with less time than before, especially when I also need to help my family. All-nighters have gone from once or twice a semester to a weekly occurrence, and even then, I still barely kept up with everything. I can’t begin to explain how excited I am to have nothing to do like everyone else.
