I would be lying if I said coronavirus hasn’t turned my world upside down. I’m sure it’s turned everyone’s world upside down. We all have to stay home know. I have to try and do my college work with the distractions of living at home. Whether that be my family, friends who are also out on break, or my boyfriend who goes to a different college. Not only that, I don’t have a desk at my house to work at. This makes it so much harder to learn. Having to look at a computer to learn instead of sitting in a classroom, makes it so much harder to learn.
This has been such a difficult situation. Receiving emails every minute. False information going around. Uncertainty. Having to move out of my dorm. Financial strain from having to adjust at life at home. Having to worry about whether my parents will be able to work from home. Going to the grocery store and not being able to get necessities for my family. Worrying about how I will get my work study check without being able to work. Worrying about how class assignments will change. Worrying about exams. Way too much worry.
But even in all of this, I am thankful. Thankful to have four walls to be quarantined in. Thankful for internet access. Thankful for the canned foods we do have to eat. Thankful for my professors who are trying to help with the anxiety of this situation by allowing a little more wiggle room than normal. Thankful for clean water to drink. Thankful that I still have an opportunity to take classes. Thankful that I’m not being put in danger because some of my peers are irresponsible and still went on Spring Break in areas that they shouldn’t have.
Despite all the bad, I can see the good. I know there are people in the world who are experiencing much worse than me. Enjoy this meme.
