    Living on campus during school breaks is very refreshing, although now it can be tough looking at campus with almost no cars and walking down the quiet halls of the building. Social interaction is so important to me. Now, every day I reach out to a different friend that I am not able to see due to COVID-19 and location. I have never been a big fan of FaceTime although now it has been such a joy to not only talk to but to see other people. I am able to connect with friends that are local that I can no longer grab weekly dinner with in addition with friends in different locations including Colorado and even the United Kingdom.

    I have to get used to the idea of bringing reusable bags with me to the store. I can never remember to put them back in my car. One tip that has worked for me is putting my car keys in/clipped on the reusable bags.
