I’m a senior in high school; prom is cancelled, AP exams are online, graduation is postponed, music department concerts and field trips are cancelled for the rest of the year, and now we have an extended lockdown until April 30.
I’ve done all I can to stay in touch with my friends and teachers close to me, but it’s hard as a music student to be able to hold Zoom meetings online or communicate through the application for my music classes. I’ve tried playing video games, binge watching Netflix, taking walks, learning new music, trying out new games, getting closer to my family; all of these have helped to distract myself from this totally surreal reality outside my house.
I think the best thing anyone can do in this situation is stay in contact with your family, call them if you’re separated, and go over the things you can be grateful for. Maybe make a list of things you’re grateful for that you can appreciate during this time.
Stay safe y’all, wash your hands, take care of yourselves.
