If you are currently super anxious because of the current situation we’re in, and you’re also stressed about the fact that the semester is ending, and professors think it’s okay to give us three 10-page essays due the same day, and all you really want is a break — you have come to the right place. This article is filled with wholesome content and positive news from the novel coronavirus.
