Summer of 2020 was probably the weirdest summer I’ve experienced. Honestly, when reflecting, I feel kind of sad. A lot of my summer felt like avoidance, pushing things later and later, running from reality. The “acceptance” of what was took longer than I expected.

I am hoping I can continue to think back and reflect to this time. I hope I can fully realize what it meant to be a student, to be human, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I’m excited for that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
