  A College Athlete's Pandemic

  The story I uploaded explains how the Covid-19 pandemic has changed my experience as a college athlete. This is important to me because playing a sport in college is a huge part of my overall college experience.

  Forced Quarantine

  Earlier this year, during my winter break, my brother was sent home two days before his high school finals. Someone in his class that he sat next/near to had contracted COVID, so as a precaution, he was sent home to quarantine. My brother was less worried about possibly having COVID himself, and more angry about having to make up his finals the next quarter (speaks a lot about our education system). I asked him who was the person that got COVID, and he said it was probably the girl behind him, but she said she didn't have it, and her friend that sat next to her backed it up. We drew out the seating chart and concluded that it HAD to be that girl, because everyone who was sent to quarantine was sitting around her. I told him that she probably just lied about not having COVID, because people would probably get mad at her. I personally would get angry myself if I was prevented from taking my finals, but I understand the girl's reasoning. No want wants to be bullied for getting sick, or called "COVID-girl," or whatever.

  Christmas Break.

  To be honest, this Christmas break i didn't do much. I normally hang out with friends and go on bike rides and just have fun. This time though, i didn't do that. I really just played video games with friends and spent time with family. Although I went to get my haircut and I did see David Price. (A former Dodgers Pitcher). So ya, thats my break, not too interesting.

  Christmas in Lockdown

  Christmas in lockdown felt somewhat surreal. Because there was danger outside, in the streets, and a new president, it was very chaotic. The holiday did seemed rushed as well. Everyone felt the same-it was too fast, and felt off. I hope this year we can end off the holidays with a more positive note and spend more time appreciating it.

  Last Night of the Semester Together

  This is a photo of my roommates and I on our last night all together before we go home for the Holidays. We were tested for covid before going home, and we are planning to wait a couple of days and get tested again once we get home before we see anybody. I would feel absolutely terrible if I spread it to someone that I love at home, so I am taking the necessary precautions. My roommates and I will be reunited again in late January.
