I move back to Penn State in less than 2 days, and to be honest I'm not sure how to feel about this upcoming semester. The past 6 months we have all been quarantined in our homes to protect ourselves from the COVID-19 outbreak, and now we finally get back to go to campus. I hope that my fellow students will abide by the rules and get to stay in Happy Valley, but if they don't, then we will get a repeat of last semester.

Here's a question we are all thinking: will we be sent home within the first two weeks?

Many colleges have reopened their campuses, but get sent home within the first month because of COVID cases. University of North Carolina (UNC) just recently cancelled their in-person classes due to over a hundred cases reported. As sad as this is for the students, they are partially to blame. There are videos of fraternity basements with people shoulder to shoulder with music blaring, and I saw a video of students on a large slip and slide with smiles on their faces. I totally understand that college should be fun and kids should get to socialize and enjoy themselves - however, we must remember we are in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. Due to these actions, students will no longer have in person classes and if this continues, students could be kicked off of campus and have to finish off their semester at home.

I can't wait to be back at Penn State, however, I really hope that we will get to remain there for this semester and not be sent home once again.
