Containment

How I feel that our society is slowly becoming like the popular Netflix show Containment.

Containment

As we all know, our country is going crazy. States are going on lockdown including mine. Before this started becoming so widespread, I found this show on Netflix called Containment. This show is about a virus outbreak in Atlanta. It started off slow and then quickly picked up the pace. The CDC blocked off a section of the city and things quickly turned violent with those in the cordon. People started to steal and rob. Some even killed those infected. It is a scary thing to think that such things could possibly happen in our world. It may seem outlandish to think that this could happen to us but if people do not follow the guidelines that health officials have given us it could very well happen.

In the show, one of the main characters finds out that the government had been lying about how the virus started. I don't think that this is the case with our situation but hey conspiracies are a thing. There is also a lot of hate in the beginning of the series between those in cordon like I said early. I feel that that is true among us as well. For example, people stock piling on grocery items and leaving none for the rest of the community. However there are a lot of good as well. People are donating products to those who do not have the means to get them themselves. I have seen a lot of positivity lately on social media too which is a good thing as long as we follow through in our daily lives and not just on a screen. I hope that this mess will all be over soon so that our lives can go back to normal. Stay safe and wash your hands!

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.
