As three months have already passed-while it has felt like forever-there have been a surplus of events in the news since New Years' Day.

I believe we can agree that the month of January went by at a snail's pace. there was a lot to be covered. To start off, I went back to college a=to start my second semester of school. As slow as it went by...we are now at midterms. Regardless of school or not, it has been a busy year. People thought world was three was going to happen, the panic was spread through the country, memes were being made and it was only the first month.

February, who is she? I couldn't tell you what happened this month because it went by so quickly. I only remember Valentine's day because I was by myself and watched a movie with my snacks (hoping to change that). I took a few exams but that was it for me. February was also the month where the new up-coming virus begun.

IT'S CORONA TIME is the theme for March-that and the word "canceled"-since the virus has spread throughout the world. What first seemed to be a minor threat has quickly turned into a "major" one at that. Yes the virus is lethal and yes it does spread, the media has blown it out of proportion. We are in quarantine and now have to do social distancing. Due to this, our university has moved to online classes.

I was really looking forward to a full semester at college with my friends, community, and two-stepping on Thursday nights. One thing I was looking forward to was March Madness, but we no longer have it with us, it has been canceled.

Basketball is canceled.

Soccer is canceled.

Hockey Is canceled.

All sports have been canceled due to COVID-19, we can just cancel the whole month of March.

Looking into the future months, I try to see some optimism in the next few but I also see the virus getting worse among all nations.

In the meantime, while I am quarantined, I better work on my two-stepping.

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.
