“I would say I am by book Christian..."
“I would say I am by book Christian but for me I think I would consider myself having a stronger relationship with God rather than being committed to the religion of Christianity but yeah this pandemic has definitely risen the talk of God coming or the end. This stuff kind of tends to usually freak people out but I've done or at least attempted to become more prepared for his coming spiritually.” -

“Overall, I would say it hasn't affected my faith in a negative way."
“Overall, I would say it hasn't affected my faith in a negative way. I've heard from a lot of people. They have different opinions on why this situation is happening. For example, I've heard people say that it's God's judgement.I've heard people say it's kind of a wake-up call to help us recognize how we should be living differently but.. I don't think... I mean both of those are probably valid in anyone's beliefs but personally in mine I think it's just a good way to recognize how we can work together through this and grow from this and kind of put ourselves in a better perspective rather than worrying about daily things.” -

"To make me grateful to have a spiritual basis to live my life from ..."
“To make me grateful to have a spiritual basis to live my life from which is what I call... I guess that would be related to my religious beliefs... I had a spiritual life prior to having a quote religious belief. My religious belief came about 20 years ago in the form of another vital spiritual awakening which led to the Baptist Church. That faith led me through 911 which strengthened my face and gave me confidence that God could take care of things in the world that seem to be catastrophic to me.” -

Trying to Stay Lighthearted at the Start of a Shift
Medical staff the world over has been given the herculean task of not only trying to care for people that are getting sick, but also trying to maintain a somewhat positive disposition in light of all of this. Taken at the beginning of a shift, anything silly helps. -

What Is Going On?
Listen…I don’t know who else can agree on this with me, but doesn’t it just feel like a light switch went on and suddenly the world knew what the Corona virus was? When I sit down and reflect on the first time I remember hearing of it, my mind draws a blank. It’s like this huge conspiracy within my own mind, that one day I just woke up and all of a sudden was in the loop. There is talk that it started in December, and there is talk of people first hearing in January, for me personally, I have no clue. This is not something any of us prepared for…parents are out of jobs, businesses are declining rapidly being forced to shut down, schools closing and children losing proper education tools. It feels like a horror story, I truly think it is, and I already know down the road in the future my kids will ask about my experience in it and how it impacted me. That is why I am trying to document everything, write journal entries, take videos, to truly remember what I felt at a time like this. I don’t ever want to forget it. But I want it to end. For the first time in my mother’s 35+ years of working, she’s had to file for unemployment. Never did I think that my mom would be unemployed. Things happen though, and since humans are so adaptable it’s been wild to see everyone adjust and learn this new normal. If you would have told me a month ago that my world would be turned upside down, I would have such a hard time believing you. I am a senior in college. I go to Marymount University, and this semester was supposed to be the time of my life. My friends and I took a history course that went abroad to Paris for spring break. That was supposed to be in early March. You’d think it was a joke that 2 hours before boarding the bus to head to the airport and we get an email that our trip had just officially been cancelled. This was so early on with the virus, no talk of quarantine, I didn’t even know what that term was at the time. It wasn’t until middle of the following week that people began discussing the possibility of it taking place. Fast forward to now, nearly 2 months later and over half of my spring semester became online, my graduation was cancelled, and almost all of my friends moved home. My internship got cancelled, and my last day as a senior just disintegrated in front of my eyes. Despite anything, I’ve been trying to find the positives in this situation and grow more so that once this is all over, I can reflect and be proud of what I did. I think it is important that everyone just does what they can to be safe and take precautions, but that they do what they need to fulfill their daily needs to stay happy. Though this has single-handedly been the worst thing to happen in my lifetime, there is a lot to be learned and improved on. But seriously…I still wonder .. what is going on..?! -

Enjoying Spring at the Park
This image was taken by me on one if my walks around a local park. I have been going to this park since I was three years old. Ever since the stay-at-home order was give for NC at the end of March I have noticed a much greater diversity in the demographics of people who visit the park.Traditionally the park would be populated by younger children, around elementary and middle school aged, along with young parents and their children. Now people of all types and ages frequent the park in an attempt to help normalize and adjust the the changes caused by the pandemic. Something I never expected to enjoy while going to the park is being able to see so many different people playing happily and making the best of the situation. Seeing others adjusting to the pandemic, in a way helps me accept the normalization of the changing social dynamics that have been created. -

Tik Tik Nurses Dancing
I found a video on the app “TIK TOK” and these nurses were all dancing! It is extremely liberating to see healthcare workers staying positive throughout this extremely touch period. The video really showed me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. This pandemic is devastating but knowing that we have amazing healthcare workers who are spreading positivity while saving lives is extremely raw and humbling. *@Nursesavyrose *The video is an inspirational Tik Tok -

COVID19 & Memes
This morning the first thing I saw on my social media pages was the announcement that ‘Asian giant hornets’ were spotted in the U.S. for the first time. On top of worrying about the COVID19 pandemic we now must worry about killer hornets. This year was supposed to be a new and great start for everyone but clearly 2020 is nobody’s year. A lot of people are trying to deal with all the stress of 2020 by making memes. I thought instead of having a negative entry for my post I would put together a couple of different memes that made me smile. -

"We Stay at Work For You, Please you Stay at home For us"
At this point in isolation, my Twitter feed is flooded with images such as this. This point evokes a great deal of emotion for I assume all that comes across it. I have the utmost respect for medical professionals. I myself have recently been accepted into the University of San Francisco Nursing Program. Being accepted during a time of great uncertainty has led me to an even greater appreciation for all those that serve on the frontlines, not just medical professionals. We are all affected in some manner during this pandemic; however, it is how we respond that will affect the outcome. Working together, maintaining a positive attitude, following instructions, and faith is what will get us through this disheartening time. Although this image is a piece of art, the message still rains truer than ever. Nurses and doctors are giving of their own time, safety, and placing their lives at greater risk for contracting the CoronaVirus as well as any other ailments, infections, diseases, etc. Men and women are left with bruising, scratches, and other facial discomforts as a result of having to wear PPE for extensive duration periods. Not only the physical discomfort but these individuals have endured emotional and mental difficulties as well. This photo saddens me as well as frustrates me. I continuously pray that people follow as the photo illustrates, “Stay at home for us” for the sake of these selfless people. For those who are not taking this issue seriously, I pray for them as well and that they might be awoken to the true reality of the world as it is right now. #CSUS #HIST15H -

Stay at home and stay fun
I love studying at a coffee shop. Because of the pandemic, I cannot do it anymore. I am trying to make myself feel at the coffee shop, so I make an avocado toast and coffee for myself. It makes my life fun even though at a special time. I believe we can always find a way to make ourselves happy, and what we need to have is just a good mindset! I hope everyone takes advantage of this time to improve ourselves! -
