COVID has messed everything up. Literally everything. So many places have temporarily and permanently closed, jobs have came and gone, etc. However, because I have had no choice but to sit at home every day, I have learned a lot about myself.

My circle is so small

The one person I thought would make the most effort with me in our friendship totally ghosted me. With that being said, I literally talk to 3 people on a daily basis and every single one of them live hours away from me. However, I will say it’s worth it. I’d rather have friends who actually put in effort every day and never be able to hang out with them than someone who couldn’t care less about me and just deal with them.

I'm more "craftier" than I thought

I have always been creative, but during covid I have been able to take my time with all the projects I make. I've made lots of string art, embroideries, etc.

I like cooking more than I thought

I don't cook very often but because I have so much free time now, I can learn more about myself which includes learning how to be fully independent. However, I will say one of my favorite things to make is homeade tortilla chips in the air fryer. It's so easy to make and tastes so good.

I do a pretty good job saving money

When covid first started to surface, I thought I would be spending all my money online shopping. I will say yes, I bought a couple of packages here and there, but nothing crazy and nothing I wasted money on.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
