ÎÞÂëרÇø

The past couple of months have been a challenge, to say the least. We as a community have gone through things that I would've considered pretty much impossible 12 months ago. A couple weeks after quarantine started everything seemed to clump together, days became weeks, weeks became months. It has been the same ole routine since mid March. For a while I was pretty bummed out— bummed being a combination of sad, mad, and all the other basic negative human emotions. But as August closed in I started becoming really excited. Coming to ÎÞÂëרÇø is something I have looked forward to for a while now, and as the days were drawing near it was also very nerve racking. It was just a mix of excitement and anticipation and anxiety, expecting some announcement cancelling all on campus classes. It was really tough, and now that it is here it is kind of unbelievable and surreal that I actually made it to campus. As I look back on this summer one big thing that sticks out and that is no matter how I was feeling that day, I went to bed always thinking about tomorrow. What was the next day going to hold. Tomorrow, a mystical land where 99% of all human productivity, motivation, and achievements are stored.
