“What is going on” seems to be the question everyone is asking right now – including myself. Coronavirus changed all of our lives overnight and is continuing to change them.
As for me, my life significantly changed when BU switched to online classes and closed campus. To me, this means that the sorority I just joined will no longer be able to have events this semester, the tap group I’m in will no longer be able to have our performance in April, and I won’t be able to see my BU friends until September. Needless to say, I’m bummed.
However, I know that many people have been much more affected by this than me. My heart goes out to seniors who won’t get to graduate, people who have contracted coronavirus or know someone who has, people who are more susceptible to the virus, healthcare providers who are putting themselves at risk, people that have lost their jobs, etc.
I don’t know about you, but I still can’t believe we’re living through a pandemic. Like, it’s so crazy. This is one of those things that we will never forget, ever. Years from now, I’ll probably be telling my kids about how my freshman year of college got cut short by coronavirus.
I haven’t left my house in a week, except to get groceries with my family and see my grandparents. And I highly encourage you to do the same thing if you’re not already. It’s so important that we all stay home right now!
This is a time to be with your family, take it easy, catch up on things, rest, take up some new hobbies, and stay safe and healthy.
