University of Kentucky

@universityofky

For University of Kentucky students, we're beginning week two of online classes since COVID-19 has taken over. I miss my friends, I miss going to class, I even miss my 20 minutes trek going to campus. Going to White Hall right now seems like a luxury - I never thought I'd say that. I didn't realize that I was taking in-person classes so for granted. I would give anything to actually go to class today. Even in the rain.

I know I can't be the only one who has multiple questions regarding time, money, graduation, all the things.

1. When will I graduate?

2. Are there possible formats being discussed for graduation?

3. Has the university thought of a plan to reimburse students for not just classes but also dining?

4. Will any money be refunded?

5. If not, will there be a refund on classes that were already online since costs were raised this year?

6. Are you regretting raising costs of online classes?

7. Do you think we will resume classes in August?

8. How are our professors? We miss them.

9. Is UK doing anything to support the students who needed meal support?

10. If so, then what is the plan?

11. Will there still be online summer course?

12. Since shutting campus down, are the classroom buildings being sanitized and deep cleaned?

13. Will University Health Services provide any services to students before the semester is over?

14. Is construction still going on?

15. For the incoming freshman, will there be a virtual orientation?

16. How do you think the incoming freshman will adjust to campus without an orientation?

17. Will there be more sanitary precautions when campus is back up and running?

18. Has there been any new criteria that teachers have been given when instructing online?

19. Does UK think that students will succeed or fail with online courses during this time?

20. Has UK planned any helpful insights on how to succeed in an online course?

21. Has UK given the teachers information on how to help students on succeeding online classes?

22. If classes don't resume in the fall, will Zoom meetings be mandatory?

23. Will exams be monitored more strictly? If so, how?

24. Will campus visits go on as normal after this is over?

25. Will there be different sanitary precautions for sports and events?

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
