The Nightmare

     The lockdown that we all had to put up with because of Covid-19 was undeniably not very easy. I have experienced feeling lost and detached from reality multiple times because I just couldn't imagine we were in that tough situation; The restrictions were making it even worse for me. I remember when I went to the grocery store and forgot to bring my pass card, and so the guard didn't let me in. I had to travel all the way back home just to get that thing and present it to him so I could enter the establishment.

On the other hand, academic learning during a pandemic is a pain. Never did I ever think before that we would have to switch from face-to-face classes to the new way of learning which is attending online classes. It was very unusual to me at first that I couldn't even focus on the discussions until I finally got used to it. There were times when I would also experience interruptions because of the internet service provider. As a result, I would get so overwhelmed and upset, thinking that I might get left behind if I take absences on my class meetings.

However, I am grateful that I was able to cope with it. I was able to still make use of my time and efforts during the pandemic, efficiently. I did this by simply not letting a single frustration stop me from doing what I have to do. I would always make sure that when I'm up for something, I don't leave it undone. It's safe to say that those times were one of the most challenging times of my life during the Covid-19 breakout. Still and all, just live everybody else, I have survived.
