On the second anniversary of the coronavirus pandemic, college students reflect on the challenges and lessons of being a student during these tumultuous times.
As the coronavirus pandemic reaches its two-year anniversary, there are now five classes of college students who have been impacted by COVID-19.
“It's OK that I've missed some of these things; I think it's definitely sad. I think once I have my … graduation in May, there's nothing else I can really feel like, oh, I didn't get to do this, or I didn't have this opportunity.”“I wouldn't hear back from anyone, so it got to the point where I was literally emailing the heads of these companies and agencies and stuff.
“My junior year started in July of 2021, and we condensed our entire third year to fit within six months, so I did my junior year as a study-abroad student in London at Shakespeare's Globe from July till December. And then my last semester has all been condensed, like the entirety of my senior year has been condensed into basically one semester.”
“I don’t think I’ve been cheated out of an experience. Even though I didn't make good relationships or the best relationships at college, I had really good relationships at the camp I worked at."“Most years, I meet a lot of new people ... but junior year, I really met nobody new. That was like one thing that stood out to me, like, I gained no friends, no new friends, which is just crazy.”
