Symptoms
Covid-19 has a wide range of symptoms. Some people can become very sick and even in need of oxygen machines, while others would have no clue they've contracted the virus at all. For example, my. aunt , uncle, and cousin all tested positive and none of their experiences were alike. My uncle was almost in the hospital with difficulty breathing, loss of taste and smell, and more. My aunt was coughing but other than that fine. The baby was extremely cranky but without any other symptoms. This proves how wide the range of symptoms really are. -

Covid Thanksgiving
My thanksgivings was not exactly normal however it was a holiday and a change from the normal grind of school so that was a good thing. At least I got a chance to take a small break before going back. However, with covid raging everywhere we weren’t able to have our grandparents or family over like we normally do. Instead, we decided to have Thanksgiving with a family that we are close friends with and had been exposed to. However, even that was a bit weird no handshakes, no high fives nothing that brought people too close to one antother. Besides that our thanksgiving was relatively normal except for the fact that we had planned to be outside in a well ventalted as recommended, but that changed as it was too windy to eat outside. All in all, it was a pretty weird thanksgiving, but it could have been a lot different. -

Northeastern NU.in Program
The NU.in program is a study abroad program by Northeastern University. This year, students had the option to travel to Canada, London, or Ireland. While NU.in Ireland remained a location, the pandemic made it so traveling to Canada or London was no longer possible. Students had an option to either travel to Ireland, Boston, or remain at home. NU.in Boston students were housed in a hotel twenty minutes or so away from campus. While living conditions were pleasant, it was definitely not what many students were expecting from being a part of a study abroad program. Not only were students studying from a place they might not have prepared for, the health restrictions made it difficult for some to meet new people and really familiarize themselves with campus life. The pandemic has really impacted how students work through college. Covid tests are required of in person Northeastern students every three days. While classrooms are open for a limited amount of students, majority of the students are participating online since the teachers are joining the online meetings from home. While these changes are not very drastic, they do take some time to adapt to. -

My experience with COVID-19 at the end of 2020
When COVID-19 began to affect everyone's daily lives including mine, I was not happy with the adjustments we had to make over the summer. Wearing masks and not being able to see certain people got really annoying. However, as time passed on, I learned to deal with the requirements needed in order to enjoy life again. Yes, we may have to wear masks and social distance, but at least businesses are open. We can still do all the things we use to do, only with a few guidelines implemented. Most people thought this pandemic was the beginning of the end of the world. But I believe this pandemic has made us stronger. We as humans are able to handle any negative impact that comes our way. Sometimes life can be challenging, but we will always find a way to get through it. -
