“As we have seen, protests have made city councils, local politicians, local police departments, and (the) state and federal government(s) take notice. The court of public opinion is one of the strongest tools, we as a society have because people want to stay in office to keep making their money and further their career, so if you threaten them with taking away that seat, and calling them out thanks to protests, you’ll see results. You can’t do that, if (you're) only trending on Twitter, you have to be about the action and be out in the streets like during the civil rights movement, peaceful or non-peaceful depending on the case. Protests are the lifeblood of any movement, hence it's why it's one of our rights as a people.”
In the midst of Stay at Home orders and a global pandemic, Netflix released a show called Feel Good . Feel Good is a comedic and semi-autobiographical miniseries about comedian Mae Martin. The show’s cast doesn’t just feature Martin, but familiar faces like Lisa Kudrow of Friends . The six-episode series mostly focuses on the intricacies and intensities of Mae’s career, love life, and sobriety. It is funny, dramatic, and quirky in a slightly dark way.

There wouldn’t be any more hockey games with friends, parties, field trips, or club meetings until the fall of 2020. As a result, a lot of students, myself included, had to put their entire lives on hold and head back to their hometowns.
