Description (Dublin Core)

I was a senior at Clovis High School when the COVID-19 happened. Originally we went on Spring break early, but it became apparent that we would not go back to school. At the time I was enrolled in a program known as C.A.R.T. which did online classes, but the classes I took at my home school failed to adapt and dismissed the finals and other assignments. So while the pandemic forced many to stay home, my hometown of Clovis was more lax, at least in my experience. I went out constantly to visit a girl I was dating at the time and went to many local restaurants and fast food places to pick up food for us. I mainly spent my time either at home or visiting my girlfriend. However, when the pandemic restrictions on travel lifted, I took my then-girlfriend to the beach during either the fall or winter. What I remember most was the social distancing at Target when getting supplies for our trip to the beach. Additionally, every restaurant we went to at the beach did not allow dining, so when we wanted to get food we had to wait outside in the cold winds of Monterey while waiting while social distancing. The saving grace of the trip was that traffic was not as bad as it usually was when driving to the beach, mainly due to COVID-19 and it being winter.
