  Covid-19 in the desert

  The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the lives of many people. In my case, this has affected me in my education in different ways. First, universities and colleges had to close. I used to go to college four days a week, so my routine changed completely. Now with the spread of COVID-19, I must stay home because it is safer, and it helps to stop the spread. I must admit, I was enjoying being home, but after a few days I was easily bored. Second, students who planned to graduate this spring semester may have a very different graduation. I heard that the college is planning some surprises for them, but I am sure they would rather have a "normal" graduation. I was pretty sure the summer classes would be online, but I did not think about having the fall semester online too. I agree and disagree with the college’s decision to plan the fall classes online. I think it is a good idea to avoid future spread. However, I also think that maybe it may be an exaggeration. The biggest impact personally for me is my job I am a part time employee who has been working up 50 hours a week with none of the full-time benefits. I understand I should not be complaining because I am lucky to still have a job but its almost not worth it people are even more rude and its just taking a toll mentally.
