Quarantined- an inside perspective

Who knew 2020 would be full of such chaos! I am trying to adjust to my new normal. As of yesterday, I have moved out of my dorm room and I am settled in back at home. Although my last year living in a dorm room has been cut short, I cant say i’m too upset about kissing my twin bed goodbye… or my roommate. However, I can say that I will miss my structured schedule back at school, regardless of how busy it might have been. With everything up in the air, I wouldn’t mind having some organization.

I never wanted to be homeschooled but that seems to be our new reality. Im sure I will get back into the swing of things. But right now, it’s a little after noon and i’m laying in my bed writing this blog post, still in my pajamas from the night before, and coming to the realization that I have forgotten how to be a microbiology student- YIKES! My biggest fear is not being able to focus on school work while at home… there are so many distractions. Hopefully after a week or so of doing this homeschool thing I will find a schedule that helps me stay on track. In the mean time- I will try to stay off Tik Tok and squeeze in an at-home workout every now and again.

I know so many people have much larger issues during this time of overwhelming uncertainty and so I am grateful to only be worried about school. Im grateful that my family is healthy, they are all able to work from home, and we have food on the table. If I could offer any words of advice they would be: “just take it one day at a time and we will figure out the rest later”. After all, with the future so unknown, that’s all we can do. On a lighter note: who could’ve ever guessed that in 2020 gas would be under $2.00 a gallon, law enforcement would be regulating toilet paper sales, and hand sanitizer would be the new hot commodity on the black market.
