  The College Years: Pandemic Edition

  When I was a sophomore in college, I had just gotten my dream job of being a community mentor when the campus heard the rumors that we might be getting an extra long spring break because of the virus. Originally, I thought everyone was blowing it out of proportion but then I quickly learned I was wrong. The extended break quickly turned into two years later. Most of my friends had graduated and I was now a senior becoming a supervisor over the community mentors. The pandemic was a major period of growth for me, but I learned something important in the process: you never know when the last time you see someone or experience something will be. So many people I know lost someone to this virus, including me. I wish I could go back and cherish more time with those individuals before the pandemic.

  Elementary School Distance Learning Homework Assignment

  My town’s school is currently closed, so my little brother has been home for a few weeks. The school sent him a folder of homework to complete, which continues the curriculum they were working on but able to be learned from home.

  Screenshot of Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the Nintendo Switch

  Since my friends and I aren’t able to visit each other in face-to-face, we have been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons together online. Pictured are our three avatars hanging out in the game, similar to what we would be doing if we weren’t quarantined.
