Quarantine

Why Corona Why??

My experience with online classes has been a very bumpy road. From procrastination, to sleeping ALL day, to finally getting my work done. It was a very long half-semester to say the least.

COVID-19 is a pandemic that has killed over a million people around the world. It has made many countries shut down completely and begin a quarantine. The quarantine prevents people from leaving their house, well for other countries and states not NC though. North Carolina, Guilford County to be exact has made a quarantine in which you can go to the grocery store or a fast food place (COOK AT HOME PEOPLE) or a doctor's office. 


First Off

Being away from campus has been one of the hardest things I've had to do in my life. I know it sounds crazy considering the fact that I'm at home and not in a dorm, but after living on campus for a semester and a half you get used to freedom and no parents all the time, let’s not forget about the food that is already made for you 3 times a day, well 14 because I was on a meal plan. 
I've had to learn how to readjustment to living at home and being with my parents ALL the time because of Quarantine. This has been no walk in the park and to be honest I am ready to go back to my dorm and enjoy my college life.

Secondly

Although many assignments are already due on blackboard, or blogger for this class. It has become a struggle to turn everything in and staying on task at home. When I'm at school there its actually someone there telling me, I need to do my work and closely looking at me during class, so I won't be distracted, but at home I'm in my room on Tiktok or talking to friends, and its very easy to not do homework. I also don't have any classes where I have to meet for Zoom class, so I basically can sleep all day and night and over procrastinate on everything.


Even though I tend to procrastinate most of my classes have gotten everything turned in on time expect two of my classes, one of which is Never Stay Silent.

In Conclusion

I love my family and bedroom but I miss my friends and my regular schedule because I am better at time management. This half semester has helped me cherish the outdoors, my school and my friends a lot more. Although I was not able to finish off my freshmen year normally I am glad that everyone that I know and myself are healthy and ready to come back outside. Quarantine is about to come to an end because for NC most places will reopen on May 8th.

The First Amendment

You should be glad we have it On December 15, 1791 the United states adopted the first of the ten amendments that would be known as the Bill of Rights. The first amendment states, “ “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the  right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” . This amendment exists to this day and protects the American people from having certain freedoms taken away from them.  In the United States, we encourage our people to speak of anything they wish even if it is negative towards their government. It is written so that the government cannot interfere with our beliefs and the way we choose to express ourselves. Although we have this freedom, the first amendment does not protect those from putting ourselves or others in harm's way with our speech.This exception is not to i...

#RunwithMaud

AHMAUD ARBERY- Remember his name Background Ahmaud Arbery was going for a jog, like he tended to do normally. He thought it would be a regular day like always, but this jog turned out to be his last. On February 23, 2020, Arbery was chased down and shot by two white men, one of whom was a retired police officer and DA investigator. Gregory and Travis McMichael, father and son killed this innocent jogger because of his skin color. These men have been known to be racist but yet when the investigation was made, they weren't arrested or charged for the killing of Arbery. Instead they walked free for two months, after leaving an innocent man on the street, dead. Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vElX_sLt2NM  (Warning graphic) In a video that was leaked, it shows Arbery jogging and trying to get away from a truck, that had the McMichael's inside. The truck continued to follow the jogger and cornered him and when the jogger tried to run the other way he was shot. Stil...
