Dear Future Me,
It’s April 8th, 2020. Yikes, 2020 must bring back some memories, and some pretty sad ones at that. We have been stuck in quarantine for the last few weeks and senior year has pretty much gone to sh*t. You were not able to have your senior year badminton season that you were looking forward to, sadly you didn’t even get to play your first match.
Prom is likely cancelled along with graduation and other senior activities like the lock-down and senior brunch. There really is not a ton to look forward to these days, stuck at home, and missing out on the last year with your friends before college.
On the bright side, I really like eLearning, waking up late and finishing a day’s work within a couple of hours. I have been able to sit back and relax and catch up on the much needed sleep that us students get deprived all year round.
Our family has grown a lot closer over the past few weeks, playing board games, darts and of course tons of games of canasta. With our busy lives it has been nice to spend some quality time with the family. Dean is back from college so the gang’s all back together, at least until the next school year.
As much as I love catching up on family time I am really missing my friends. This was supposed to be the year of lasting senior memories with my best buds but instead we have been separated for nearly a month. I really hope this all clears by the summer so that we can hang out before we all end up all over the country for college.
In other news, with tons of free time on my hands I have started to learn how to do calligraphy, I am pretty bad at the moment but hopefully I got better by the time you’re reading this!
I think that this virus has taught our community how to come together, I have seen so many people lending hands and really just being there for each other. It has brought families closer together as they have been staying in for the past few weeks.
I am glad that there has been little lights at the end of the tunnel during this pandemic and I hope everyone affected by this virus is doing alright. These are certainly unprecedented times and a good way to see how the community will react to it (hopefully we did alright).
Finally, I hope I am a nurse by now (hahaha) and I am helping people in times like these. I always wanted to be there for others and in a time like this the healthcare workers are truly heroes at this time, and hopefully I am one too as you read this! Hoping all is well in the future!
