If there’s one thing I thought could not get more confusing, it was college. However, thanks to this worldwide pandemic, there has been a great change for colleges all across the world.
About two weeks ago, classes started back up at the University of Kentucky ( the college I am attending). I was about to leave my dorm, but soon quickly remembered to grab my mask and sanitizer. As I started heading to my classroom building, I noticed multiple signs all across campus reminding students to wear their masks, wash their hands, and maintain a 6 feet distance between them and others.
As I entered the classroom of one of my only two in-person classes, I felt extremely awkward walking into a large lecture hall containing only about 15 students. The professor stood behind a podium surrounded by what I comprehended as a plastic shielded wall. Finally, after an hour and fifteen minutes of us students trying to hear our professor behind her mask, class was over.
On my way to lunch, I was stopped by a reporter who asked me multiple questions addressing how the adjustment to classes have been. Internally, I was saying how strange it was. However, after thinking about it (at least for the five seconds I had to think, before the reporter expected an answer), I replied saying that I knew the university was doing all they could to keep everyone safe and that ultimately everyone was just happy to be on campus.
