What's in the way
Describe the image and what it tells us about the pandemic: I created this drawing because my environmental art professor had asked us to draw the world we would like to see and what's in the way. I wanted to go back to school, see my friends and professors again, so I decided to draw what is in the way. I depicted the lack of COVID-19 tests, the people who claim it is a hoax, the people flocking to Florida for Spring Break, and my own personal lung issues that prevent me from being able to take the risk. I'm sure that are many people who feel the same- and it is scary, and I hate the uncertainty. This image shows some of the many obstacles and challenge facing people amid the COVID-19 pandemic. I made this drawing using paints. -

The last "normal day"
It was on March, 9 2020 that everything changed my whole college experience. Being a first year in college it was definitely a learning experience while everything was going good until that day when I left Pima Community College for the last time that semester. When i left that day I had no idea not even a thought that, that would be my last day on campus for the semester. It was our spring break that next week so we were out of school regardless until I received an email saying that they were going to extend spring break a few more days due to the whole pandemic. While the cases were rising and rising it was not looking good around the world in general with people dying everyday there was no way that we would return to in person classes for the rest of the semester. I received an email from all of my professors saying that we would transition to online learning and having online lectures. And to this day we had online lectures however it is the end of the semester and all classes are finished and we can only hope that we will get in person classes in the fall semester of 2020. -

COVID-19: The End of Freshman Year
My name is Griffin, and I am currently a freshman at the University of Arizona. The Coronavirus outbreak definitely changed my life. I was on 2020 spring break in California, following the Western Collegiate Roller Hockey League Playoffs, and after a week of playing hockey and going to the beaches in California, I received an email; school was going to be online for the rest of the semester. I went back to campus, packed up my things, and headed home to Prescott, Arizona. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was sad to leave. I was leaving my new friends, my dorm, and my freshman experience behind. I hadn’t lived at home in months, since before the summer, so it was a weird transition. I felt like I was back in high school. As classes transferred to online, it seemed like the workload increased. Maybe it was because I was sleeping more and had less time, or maybe teachers just felt like they needed to increase the rigor. Either way, online classes were hard, but manageable. However, I definitely preferred in person classes. There were many disappointments with the outbreak. My hockey team received a bid to attend the national tournament in Florida, and we were planning our trip, but it was cancelled. I also had summer plans cancelled. I had a three week study abroad trip planned to China, which was canceled for obvious reasons. I also had a few job interviews for summer internships, but all the companies told me they were no longer hiring because of the outbreak. Now, I’m still unsure what I’ll be doing this summer. Luckily, I’ve been safe up in Prescott. My region has been relatively unaffected, with only about 100 cases of Coronavirus reported in my county. It’s one of the few perks of living in a small county. I still don’t know anyone who has been infected, but I hope it stays that way. For now, I’m just trying to stay healthy, and I’m hoping life can get back to normal. I want to be able to return to school, play hockey, and get a job. Hopefully all this can happen. I’m disappointed my freshman year ended so abruptly, but I’m grateful to be healthy. -

Quarantine College
Quarantine College The coronavirus came in with no announcement and changed everyone’s lives as we know it. For me one of the biggest changes was school. I was just about one third through my second semester in college when news of the corona virus began to spread. At first it was said to be only in China, but more and more cases were being seen around the world. Then the first case in Arizona came, and where else would it be but my very own school, Arizona State University. Still there was no panic or change. We continued with school as usual. We then entered our long-awaited spring break. This is where everything changed. We never came back to school from spring break, or we never went back to on campus classes. Every class was moved to online. For many this was a horrible turn of events as in class learning helps many, myself included. As for me it was not bad, at first many of my professors even insisted it was only a temporary change. I still visited campus to see my friends or study, but everything quickly changed. I lived at home, but I saw as all my friends were basically kicked off of campus. I have not seen many of them since. Then came the subject of online school. I thought I would be fine but studying from home was just not the same. On one hand I could study on my own time, but on the other I had limited access to all the universities helpful buildings. I no longer had access to libraries or study areas. Studying at home also means I am with my family 24/7. While I Love my family going to school could be a break from them, but most importantly they can be a big distraction when trying to work. Another problem I have is finding motivation to do my work. I do not not why but it feels as school is optional now even though it is not. I must find a dedicated time to do my work, but I get distracted and or have no motivation. The coronavirus has changed the way everyone lives their lives in 2020. Some positive changes and many negative changes have come. I think I have finally developed a better way to study. Although it was hard to overcome all the challenges that the corona virus brought I will never forget my freshman year of college. -

Social Nights in Las Vegas, Nevada
The image was taken nearside the busy streets of late-night Las Vegas, the Friday when ASU’s spring break initially started. However, to describe this image would be to pinpoint a moment in time where a large group of people have gathered together to enjoy a night in Vegas with no fear of keeping their distance. When I took this photo the majority of people and community seemed to flourish both economically and socially. This image reflects a distinct contrast of how people are socializing under the current circumstances as of now. Nevertheless, this picture was taken because a few friends and I planned on going to Vegas as a spring break trip, as a result this image embodies a typical social and eventful night in Las Vegas, where many people gathered in their own activities while still at a close distance. Thus, what this image tells us about the pandemic is how quickly social and societal norms could abruptly change in a few months of time. What this image also says about the pandemic is how even though social fear is heavily sensed, there were and will be more moments when we will all come together and enjoy each other’s company once again. As a result, this image serves as a reminder that we will all overcome this predicament together and come back as a collective community to not only live, but thrive. Essentially, what this image tells us about this pandemic as well is that even though under strict social distancing we should all still take part in the views and activities that make us happy, even if we have to be a little more creative in how we take part in such functions. *This item is a self-taken photograph that was enhanced with camera settings to make the image appear lighter and the colors to stand out more vibrantly. -

REL Plane Itinerary
This is a screenshot of my trip itinerary for my Spring Break in March. I felt that this was a good contribution because this was the start of the uproar of the pandemic. Once I came back on the 14th everything changed. Business shut down, traveling limited, and school moved to online for the rest of the semester. This was a very significant time for me. -

Hollywood Walk Of Fame
During March, my collogues and I went to California for spring break. At that time, COV-19 was on the rise, knowing this, I was expecting to see less people when we visited Hollywood walk of fame. But it was quite the opposite. It looked pretty normal, showing that not many people take the corona virus seriously. -

Calm before the Storm
This was on a nice, sunny Monday. Students were enjoying the weather, looking forward to spring break and "Staller season". The very next day, there were a series of emails announcing the transition to online classes followed by the complete shut down of the campus days after. Due to COVID-19, events were canceled, students were forced to go back home, and people are worried. This video perfectly encapsulates how care free students were before things became serious. *Last week of classes before Spring Break -

Mike Dewine's statement to returning spring breakers to stay home.
This image helped describe the growing fears of spreading COVID-19. Soon after early stages of action by state and federal governments the image helps show that returning young spring breakers had the potential to help spread COVID-19 to older people or relatives. #4800 -
