COVID-19 Is Ruining My Year!

Covid-19 pandemic has been very difficult to cope with, making many others along with myself, feel trapped inside their households. After weeks of quarantining, I feel like the world will never listen to the orders that were given to them. I am protecting my life inside while others are doing the opposite. This pandemic is affecting my everyday life such as school, work, and extracurricular activities. I am (possibly) not able to attend school until fall 2020, my job is closed until further notice, and gyms are closed. I can’t even gather in big groups with my friends due to social distancing.
As a teenager, I crave socializing and being on lockdown makes me feel like my everyday life is getting taken away from me. Regardless of my urge to socialize, it is important to not be selfish during this virus and save lives by staying inside. This pandemic is very serious and thousands of lives have been taken because of it. Taking precautions is new and scary. I now wonder how people kept up with their hygiene before this pandemic. I just hope there will be a vaccine soon so more people can recover and everything can go back to normal.

I really relate to you. I've never been the friend that you'll talk to everyday or even weekly. However, this quarantine has me calling my best friend every other day for no reason at all. Hopefully we won't have to spend our fall semester at home!
I totally understand where you are coming from. I'm tired of being in the house 24/7. We have to be mindful with everything we do now. I hope this pandemic doesn't affect fall semester because I will like to get back on campus soon.
