  How am I Supposed to be a Student When the World is Burning Down Around Me? A Student’s Personal Experience

  I wanted to share the kitchen table's image in my family's house because it has become my workspace and classroom. I have my laptop, water, and food in the image because the virtual college has become a non-stop task. As an undergraduate student transitioning to virtual learning, I have struggled greatly. The weekdays are filled with zoom classes, discussion boards, dozens of essays, and monotonous assignments that feel like busywork. Weekdays and weekends are the same. Universities and professors have maintained high expectations for students even though we are in a pandemic, economic depression, detrimental election year, and significant social justice movement. Most days, I struggle to want to be the best student I can be when I feel less like a person. It is difficult to get out of bed, especially as hope fades every day with an increase in COVID-19 cases and deaths, people becoming jobless, homeless, and the human rights of so many people being violated. It feels insane sometimes to log on for hours when the world seems to be burning down around me.

  Make-do Standing Desk

  Studying from home meant that I had to find a lot of materials around my house to create my workspace, whereas I usually study in the university library or in cafes. This image shows my precarious standing desk I created one day when I had been sitting down too long!

  Adapted Workstation

  Since mid-March, my school has been doing online distance learning (ODL). And due to ODL, my kitchen counter has become my one-and-done workspace. It is my classroom, my art room, my breakroom, and, still, my kitchen counter. It has become a bit cluttered with my laptop; a desktop; a keyboard, mousepad, and cd drive; two sets of earbuds; my Eiffel Tower art project; a water glass; some random candy; a charging cable; an empty yogurt cup, a grapefruit half, and some eggshells from breakfast; a pencil; a USB drive; the list goes on. On the floor and table behind the frame are even more art supplies; a computer case that has been empty since March; my school books, binders, and notebooks; more pencils and pens; a graphing calculator. Almost everything I could possibly need during school – books, food, pencils, etc. – can now be found within a five-foot radius of where I sit; in effect, further limiting the already negligible distance I travel every day. 10:00 am. In the middle of my first period class.
