BUGGING ABOUT THE VIRUS

 

My Life Post Pandemic

        Throughout this pandemic, I have been through some big ups and downs in almost every aspect of my life. In my previous post, I touched on how I basically lost an important internship that could help me in my career. Living on campus was my way to get to the internship, and also (I didn't know at the time) the way I can get my school work done. When corona came, and all the residents were sent packing home I really watched everything go downhill. Classes being switched to online was very difficult for me and I struggled to finish strong. I personally don't take in information online as well as I would in person, so I had to really adjust to that change. Also being a Media Production major, I feel like most of my classes were classes I needed to be in person to learn. Some of classes I was learning for the first time how to film with a camera, operate equipment and also using editing programs. These are things I can't really learn without having those thing in front of me. My household is also a crazy one, it is hard to focus in that environment. My mother saw the pandemic as me having a free time, so I should basically be able to work... she harassed me into going back to my job at Walmart during this time. Before the pandemic, working at Walmart was not the best job but during corona it was equal to Hell. Everyday was complete chaos, from customers complaining, social distancing, protests and now the national coin shortage. I was thankful to have a job when others were less fortunate, but I would leave work everyday ready to cry. So trying to balance this new way of learning, and being overworked almost everyday I was stressed out.  My only good things that came out of the pandemic was being able to redo my room, and learning some new skills. Most was however was bad, but I am thankful to still be alive and good health!
