My COVID-19 Experience

How serious the coronavirus got really took me by surprise since everything seemed like it was moving so fast. First, we were on spring break, and then that got extended and then we received an email about the college shutting down and moving their classes online. I’ve always been a face to face person so it took some time for me to adjust to the new online setting and especially because it seemed like I was having to do more work than what I actually did when I attended lectures. But I knew it was still very important for me to finish the semester strong, so I knew I had to develop good time management skills, if I wanted to finish my assignments on time, which have been going pretty good so far. I began feeling a little sad as the month of April approached because I realized the situation wouldn’t be changing anytime soon and I had big expectations on celebrating my birthday which was on April 5, with my family and friends. But with quarantine I knew that wouldn’t be possible, still my family and friends did all they could to show their love towards me by bringing me flowers and chocolates, which made me feel really happy and loved and grateful to have such loving people around me specially during these times. Then Easter rolled by and it was a very special Easter for my family and me. We usually just go our separate ways since my sisters have husbands and they have to split up their time to be able to spend it with both families, but this time we got to celebrate the entire day all of us together at my sisters house. By still following the rules we got to spend time together and hide eggs for the kids and watch how happy they were when they would find each egg. I thought it was still very important for us to celebrate Easter because the kids don’t really comprehend what is happening and they still see normality in the world, so in their minds there is no reason not to celebrate Easter. Honestly, I’ve just been taking day by day as it comes and just been hoping this situation gets solved soon. I hope every single one of you guys is doing good and staying safe, and don’t forget that theirs resources and people you can call, that can help you if your feeling scarred or anxious during these times, don’t be afraid to use any of those resources that can help you better your health.
