Will It Stick?

Questions on what Covid changes will stick around after Covid.

Will It Stick?

"What in the world," I find myself thinking but also saying out loud half of the time as I'm in public. Is this normal or is it not? At the beginning of 2020, if I walked into a building and saw someone masked, I would think there was a robbery taking place. Now, it's an insane trip to the store if I see someone inside without a mask. It's not only the masks, but there are also so many things I question.

How will Zoom play a role when corona slows down?

Classes heavily rely on Zoom to keep in communication with their classes. In fact, over half of my courses switched to blended seated and zoom. This has me left wondering if in the future zoom will remain a big part of education.

Will handshaking be a thing of the past?

With social distancing, not many people shake hands anymore. Although I've been raised to shake hands as I meet someone rude I can't help but think it might become a thing of the past depending on how long it takes for the pandemic to diminish.

How long will people follow social distancing?

Social distancing is a very common precaution people are taking to stay safe. But, even after the pandemic settles down I wonder how long it will take for people to feel safe enough to be within 6 feet.

All in all, I can't help but think. We are writing the history books.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
