How am I doing? Well there are a lot of different ways to explain “how I am doing”. I could just say what used to say at the dinner table after a long day of highschool. That would just be “fine” or “good” nothing much after that. In reality, I am doing honestly really well. The main reason why I say that is because I spent a full two days of complaining and crying about what has been going on in this world.

The first day was the day that we had to move out of our dorms. Going back and thinking about all the memories and all the people that I met during my first year of College; I was so sad. I love college and I love school at Delaware so much. A girl on my floor was so happy to go home and she was literally yelling down the hallway hateful comments about UD. Then someone else on my floor said to me, “If you’re happy about going home because of what is going on, you picked the wrong school.” He was right, I picked the right school and to this day I miss what life was like just about a month ago. 

The second day was when Governor Carney added a new regulation onto the Delaware quarantine law. It stated that if you have traveled outside the state and came back in the past 14 days you have to do a mandatory self quarantine for 2 weeks. Yes, that did apply to me. I changed my flights for spring break as soon as I could and went down south for a short 4 nights and 5 days. Thankfully none of the people that traveled with me got sick. 

This brings me to my overall explanation on how well I am. I am well because of how lucky I am. I watch the news consistently and see all of the people who are getting very sick and need help. My heart breaks for this country because of how bad some people have it currently. Almost every night I pray for those who need healing and just to have the overall suffering during this time come to an end. I have performed selfish acts of going down to spring break when this all started but I am grateful that I am not sick and got home safely. I could have it a lot worse; but everyday is a challenge. Hopefully this pandemic comes to an end and we all can come together and be stronger than before.
