This whole coronavirus and quarantine stuff have moved so quickly that I don’t feel like I had time to process anything. I’m usually a person who loves to sit inside all day on the couch and sleep until for hours of the day, but since we are practically forced to stay in, all I want to do is go out. Being a college senior has especially been hard during all this time. With graduation being canceled and classes being moved online, I have lost all motivation. I seem to be doing even more work for my online courses than I would’ve done if we were still allowed to meet in person. It is very frustrating to spend the majority of my day working on homework while other colleges are giving their students the option to pass or fail a class. For me personally, I think college seniors should be given a break. We have lost so much this past month and possibly have to deal with leaving college and going into a failing economy.
I was nervous about finding a job after college, but with job layoffs and jobs shutting down has scared me even more. Being quarantined alone has kind of gotten the better of me. I attempt to get up at a regular time and be productive with my homework. But I’ve sadly gotten myself into a rut and am having a hard time trying to break it. It’s interesting being a public health major and watching all of this godown and see how our country and our government is handling it. I hope people start to take this virus more seriously and really distance themselves so we can limit our time in quarantine.
