MEG’S BUBBLE

As a college student during COVID-19, it was a little hard to adapt to taking all my courses online. My college told students not to come back to campus, to install ZOOM, and to make sure we were able to get through the rest of the semester without any issues.

Being able to go to class was my escape from home during the week because it allowed me to breathe and spend time with friends. Pre-COVID, I would go to class, socialize with some friends, do work-study, and run my photography club. During COVID, I was placed into a bubble and I hated it.

I couldn’t see my friends or family. I had difficulty focusing on class work because my grandma always had something to complain about and I missed going outside to get some fresh air. The only time I really went out was for groceries or to do laundry. Other than that, my COVID life consisted of Zoom calls, homework, Minecraft, and complaining. The main thing that got me through quarantine life was being able to video chat with my brothers and sister. Seeing them made all my troubles go away. At the end of the day, I didn’t like COVID quarantine life but it is what it is.
