Navigating College and COVID-19

Navigating through college life in a season of COVID-19 has been different to say the least. And in this blog post I will be discussing some of the trials I’ve dealt with.

Dealing with getting settled.

I found it extremely hard to get settled this year alone due to the fact that accessing resources on campus has been challenging. But while it has been challenging that does not mean that it’s been impossible. The staff on the Ashland campus have been amazing at making sure they can be reached on campus.

It was tough getting settled with classes due to the hybrid form of class. Often times I would forget which day was virtual and which was in person. However, it was a process that taught me how to adapt well to new systems and procedures.

Personal life stress

I’ve found it hard this year specifically trying to juggle my life at school and interpersonally. It has taught me that sometimes life will throw things at you that you have no control over. However that does not mean you can’t get through it. You will actually grow because of it and learning to deal with the stress will teach you skills that you’ll need for life that is ahead.

The main point of this blog post is to encourage you, that whether the tribulations come from school, work, home, relationships, or in your friends or family groups, you will come out of it and you will grow stronger.
