Who knew life could change so quickly? Just three weeks ago I was leaving college for spring break, I was happy, had a job, straight A’s in school, a phone.

 Now two weeks and I attempt to be happy and in a positive mindset. Spring break is over, but I have not returned to school. I now take online classes and worry about my grades. Due to COVID-19, I am left without a job or the ability to provide for myself. My phone broke a week and a half ago. Because I have no job or extra money to spend on nonessential things, I am left without a phone and can’t talk to my friends and family on a regular basis.

Through this time I am grateful that I had my mother. She has gone above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need and that I am taking all the proper precautions to make sure I do not get sick or compromise my immune system. Also, I am usually away at school so this was a good time for me and my mother to spend with each other. Since in Quarantine we have baked, created homemade face masks, made funny TikTok videos, and even started Vlogging our Quarantine so far.

2 Weeks In …
Life as you know it
a sudden change 
chaos, disruption, fearing the unknown 
there is peace in answers 
and there is hope for the future
