I had been anticipating the much-needed reprieve from student responsibilities that Spring Break would bring long before COVID-19 took over American news. In addition, I now had just come out of the infamous "month of a week".

 

Mere days saw more chaos and anxiety than belongs in a political debate: cancellation of the semester over many changes of plans, a transition into leadership of my floor that usually occurs over a semester, classes trying to finish in time, a need to and resolve every possible issue caused by the virus, enjoying the last few moments with my friends, and saying goodbye to them, not knowing if for a month or half a year, or forever.
