Stuck!
by Tatiana

Getting adjusted to this new normal isn’t for the faint heart. It’s like I’m STUCK…stuck in a new reality that I don’t want to accept. I really do miss the beach-like feel of my college campus in Miami but I’m enjoying time with my family.  Just really torn! Speaking of Miami, it’s hard being stuck in the house here instead of sitting next to the beautiful lake on campus while getting work done. Being in the house makes it harder to think, especially when the Wi-Fi is unpredictable. 

The only thing I’m worried about predicting is this timeline. When will this end? When will I be free to go out as I please? These are just questions that cross my mind like…EVERYDAY! The only thing that seems to be normal these days is when I carve out a little time to scroll on Instagram. It’s the only thing that seems normal. Even with school, the work seems to have multiplied. I mean seriously, I cook breakfast for my family, then hop right onto Zoom and Blackboard to see what is new for the day. Thankfully I have been fortunate enough to help mom out with meal deliveries – so I at least have the opportunity to get out for fresh air and help others.
