Every senior's prom has been cancelled due to the coronavirus. Some seniors have been lucky enough to have their prom rescheduled. Others have not been so lucky. On April 17th, John Krasinski and other celebrities came together to try to make this current situation better for the class of 2020.

I love The Office. I have for quite some time. I have rewatched all nine seasons 13 times. So when I heard John Krasinski, who played Jim on The Office, was hosting an online prom for the class of 2020, I was in. I wasn't sure how he was going to host an online prom. After watching it I can say he did not disappoint.

When I logged on to his live video, it took a while for him to get started. Once he got on, the party started. He played some music and Rainn Wilson joined. Rainn plays Dwight on The Office and I personally find him hilarious. John started to play a song by Chance the Rapper and Rainn told him that he needed permission from the artist to play their song. Of course, Chance the Rapper popped on and they all started dancing to Chance's song.

After Chance the Rapper's song, John and Rainn were joined by the Jonas Brothers. The Jonas Brothers have been one of my favorite groups since Camp Rock came out. They performed their song "Sucker" and one of my favorite songs. Even though I wasn't there to physically watch them, I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Being able to see John, Rainn, Chance the Rapper, and the Jonas Brothers try to give the class of 2020 an online prom made me feel better, but John didn't stop there. Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas, came on to perform "bad guy", which is also one of my favorite songs. Their video lagged a little bit but it was still great.

There was even an after party. D-Nice hosted it on his Instagram live. He played a great variety of music. I listened to it while I was doing math homework and it put me in a better mood.

Sadly, the online prom only lasted about 40 minutes. But, John Krasinski went out of his way to give the class of 2020 their senior prom. Even though it wasn't the real thing and I wasn't able to experience it with my class, the online prom meant a lot. It was a safe and fun alternative to my senior prom. I was able to enjoy myself and see some of my favorite actors and singers while staying at home and preventing the spread of the coronavirus.

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.
