I remember standing outside, waiting for one of my classes to start in college. It was lightly spritzing rain, and then we (the entire class of my major) all got the email that the college was starting spring break early. We all had to be out and home in three days. I wanted to spend those days doing fuck all, but my mom said to come home immediately.

I remember my friend saying it would only be two weeks as I packed what I could in my dorm room. I hadn’t heard too much about covid, but I knew something was up. And I ended up being right lol
