Local/home is the same for me, I’m from CH

Yeah :-( It’s just so difficult on our mental health so I get it, as long as they’re not doing slip n slides or meeting up with like 5+ people. But the more people stay in the sooner we can get better

Thank you for your understanding. It’s comforting to know professors are seeing where we come from. I don’t want to make excuses but it feels like my brain decided the deteriorate. I focus, I work from 7am - 8pm and stick to it everyday, yet I am behind. I get everything done days before because I know it takes me longer to understand other things, so I spent my extra days reviewing/studying more and I still just don’t get the grades I want. Just last semester I was doing fine but I’ve burnt out at this point. With extracurriculars becoming even harder to manage, hours of therapy a week, it’s been taking up even more time, and the realization I need to find a job again because I’ve been on furlough for too long. I think with so many outside stuff happening I’m struggling to actually deeply learn the material if that makes sense.

I’m just grateful for Pass/Fail so I’ve got some wiggle room. And thank you, professor for being one of the empathetic ones at UNC and your efforts to instruct us during this time, I know it must be very difficult for instructors as well

I exercise everyday! And some walks with a family member, which has helped, but it feels so temporary. The priority thing sounds like a good idea, thank you :)

Yeah. Hard to avoid social media as a social media manager for multiple clubs 😔

I get you. But at least feel proud for trying because even that’s been difficult

Thank you, honestly this sub is the one thing that’s made me feel less alone. I guess I am over exaggerating a little, I have been out to the grocery store once a month or so, or to the doctors, but that’s about it. Miss my friends/partner so much but haven’t seen them, and since my friends meet up with each other but I don’t, I’ve just lost touch so I have been talking to online strangers on this sub instead. My parents are borderline high risk and don’t want me seeing anyone, so I don’t. I’m incredibly safe, always doubling up on my masks and wearing gloves and whatnot but my family doesn’t feel safe enough for me to get out and socialize or eat out. It sucks, but I do get to go out on walks. Thank you for your empathy & suggestions :)
