Personally, when I walked through the campus, it felt like yesterday everyone was still around. Now, it seems like it is just me, myself and I. Remember what we used to have, those things are so ordinary, humble and normal, and those are the most valuable things right now.

I am an international student from Vietnam, and at the moment, I am staying on campus at Bacon Hall. Apparently, I am the only one staying in this wing. I have barely seen anyone walking outside my windows for days, or even heard the sound of music across the hall. Moreover, I started talking to myself while walking in circle–probably this pandemic has had a different impact on me. When the daily routine was taken away I finally understood how precious it was. Being in the classroom, walking on the campus and seeing people, or even eating in the dining halls (the food that most of students has been complaining about). Now, I feel like I need those things, even if it is just a day or two, I wish I could come back to that normal life.
