Dear Diary,
The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted everyone’s lives, especially high school seniors. I never thought in a million years that we would soon be going through a pandemic that would cause this much of an impact for everyone.
When this entire situation began, I thought that it would be a short two week break from school. I figured it would be a little bump in my senior year, nothing really serious. I was frustrated because the virus had interfered with the school musical that we were going to perform, but I was e…

Over these many weeks spent at home, away from friends and normalcy, I have learned a great deal. When I left school on Friday, March 13, 2020, I fully expected to return in two weeks time. Little did I know that unremarkable Friday would be my last normal day of high school. Like many of my…
