Casey’s COVID-cation: The Final Blog

This is a sad day; the end of an era, if you will. This is the end of my COVID-cation blogging. I am finally out of my quarantine dorm and back in my old one. This experience has felt like years and days at the same time. My coronavirus (COVID-19) isolation had its ups-and-downs, much like anything in life. I would say the downs definitely outweighed the positives, but that is how these situations tend to go. I think I learned a lot about myself and about others along the way. I learned that I a...

Casey’s COVID-cation: Blogs 11-14

I’m Casey and I just beat the coronavirus (COVID-19). After having been stuck in campus-isolation for about a week, I have just graduated to campus-quarantine. I still need to keep myself sane until I can go home for Thanksgiving, but on the bright side, I do get to experience this quarantine for you so that you can be up to date on protocol, without having to get the virus yourself. I seem to be procrastinating on these blogs as my writing opportunity runs out. I suppose it has something ...

Casey’s COVID-cation: Blog Seven

I’m Casey and I have the coronavirus(COVID-19). I am in campus-isolation and would likely lose my mind if I did not have anything to do. On the bright side, I do get to experience that isolation for you so that you can be up to date on protocol, without having to get the virus yourself. I am still symptom-free today. I am hoping that this keeps up so that I can leave isolation tomorrow and get back outside. I do not think I will be back in my own dorm until after winter break, but it will ...

I probably owe this v...

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! My body must have gotten the message that today is unlucky, because I feel worse than I have in days past.
