Since the last two weeks in January, cases of the well-known Coronavirus have gone up extensively across the globe. (Yes I said globe, the world is not flat) Due to the increase in case numbers, panic has risen everywhere. While not every country is affected-yet-many peoples' plans are being changed, especially over spring break.

While I had planned about a week ago to have some plans over spring break, I am second-guessing myself. The media has been doing coverage on the virus and well, it doesn't look too good. As for my plans for spring break are about the same.

My family had planned on making a trip to the Mall of America in Minnesota over break, but instead, I may just have to stay in and watch Disney+ as my alternative. I could be creative and just pull up a wallpaper background of a beach and call it a day...but where is the fun in that? Who knows, I could build a fort with pillows and blankets as I used to when I was young.

Honestly though... I could use a break from this midwestern weather, one day it's sunshine and hot while the nest is 34 and freezing rain. While going north wouldn't be warmer per se, it would be something new.

Speaking of new things, I play basketball now-well our season is over but I did play for five weeks. I scored four points. It would be nice to do some workout or physical activity over break so I can be in some shape if or when I return to campus.

This spring break will be one to remember for the years to come. Everything is cancelled and it seems to be the new trend, but safety is a major priority so I understand why universities are doing what they are.
