I went pumpkin picking for the first time. My sister, her best friend, my best friend, and I
sped off to Long Island to pick pumpkins. Once we arrived we were surprised by the number of
people there but luckily we were able to keep our distance. Everyone had on their masks as well.
As we were looking to find where to pick pumpkins, we found some really nice eggplants which
we had to bring home with us. After that, we found the pumpkins. We decided on the number of
various sizes we were going to get and took some Instagram worthy photos. I bought some apple
butter and triple crown for my mother and my sister’s best friend bought apple cider donuts
which were probably the best donuts we ever tasted. We went to a diner after that for lunch
where the food was superb and decided to go home and call it a day.

Tonight was my family friend’s movie night. I had my reservations about going at first
but once I got there I was happy to see only a few people. The decorations really imitated a
movie theater with concession stands and blankets on top of the couches. There were actually
movie theater popcorn containers and little car holders to put them in. The movie DOPE was
really good as well. It was my first time going out where I expected there to be a lot of people
despite corona but I’m glad I didn’t let my worries get the best of me.

My psychology class really makes online school feel less lonesome. Despite none of us
turning on our cameras, it still feels like I’m in an in-person class with them. We were able to
talk about how we’ve been feeling because of coronavirus and that essentially every day feels
like the same. Our professor shared his feelings as well and it was nice to know that he was
feeling the same way we are. In fact, he almost decided to go asynchronous because what is class
if he can’t engage with his students. He was hopeful in regard to the new president though. He
believes that we’ll be able to be in person next semester and I hope so too. Sitting at my laptop in
my living room all day is getting to be draining.
