Please Social Distance

The Corona Virus has taken so much from all of us but we continue to make it worse for ourselves

I want people to start listening to the precautions and stop rebelling before this gets any worse.

I don't care if Chad from Apple Pie can't go on his Spring Break trip to Hawaii. Get over it. There will be plenty more spring break trips, it's not the end of the world. Stay home and stop only thinking about yourselves.

This is a really hard time for all of us but the least we can do is stop spreading it. The more you go out and touch things, the more germs get spread. The more people you engage with, the more it spreads. Do you see a pattern?

The government is not asking for you to stay in your house for the rest of your life, it's TEMPORARY. Things are going to get better. We can make it better and guess what? It doesn't take much. You can do it from the comfort of your couch, bed or desk. It's as simple as that.

Trust and believe me, I'm mad. So much has been taken away from me because of this virus, but I'm trying my best to not be selfish. I am currently at home and have been at home for weeks.

Do I complain? Of course. Am I happy I'm not possibly infecting others? Absolutely. Am I glad to not be part of the problem? Yes.

EVERYONE needs to respect social distancing. I know it's hard and honestly a little weird but it serves a purpose. This won't last forever. One of these days the numbers will decrease, there will be a cure and we will be able to return to normal. I dream about that every single night.

But unfortunately, my dreams and many other people's dreams, are not coming true because of selfish people who think it's a huge joke. When this is all done you can be as selfish as you want, but now isn't the time. Think a little and do the right thing.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
