As a student, semesters can be challenging even when schools are operating normally. Now the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is impacting colleges, universities, and their students in completely unique ways.

If you've had coronavirus — or know someone who's had it — and are a student on campus, we want to hear from you.

What was your experience like? How did you manage to maintain your schoolwork while dealing with it?

I Interviewed A Classmate Who Had COVID-19 At [University] And This Is What It Was Like

Cover Image: A personal cover image of you or the classmate who had it wearing a mask and at a campus landmark.

Introduction: Start by giving a little background on COVID-19 on your campus. If you can find any relevant statistics about infections, how the university planned to handle cases as they emerged, or anything else, add that into your introduction.

Then, you can answer some of these questions yourself or ask your classmate some:

  1. Overall, what has your experience with COVID-19 been like?
  2. Has it been hard having it while being on campus?
  3. Have you had to stop going to classes? Have your professors provided virtual options so you can stay updated on classes?
  4. How did your school respond to your infection?
  5. Did they bring you food while you were in lockdown? How was it delivered/was it suitable?
  6. Were you monitored by your school?
  7. Did you have to move housing?
  8. Were you allowed to have any contact with anyone during your quarantine?
  9. What has been the biggest struggle of being infected while you're on campus?
  10. How long did you stay quarantined for?
  11. Does your school have a special absence policy due to COVID or did you have to go to class while being sick?
  12. What instructions did your school give you for ending your quarantine?
  13. Did you have to provide a negative test to stop quarantining?
  14. What do you think your school could have done differently to make your experience better?

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
