How COVID-19 is affecting College Students

COVID-19 brings rise to new challenges for 18 year old Evelyn to overcome in her day to day life as a college student. Proper communication among faculty, peers and overall college community comes to a halt as the Stay at Home order takes place which starts to spread complications into other areas of her life. I sat down and spoke with Evelyn to ask questions such as; How exactly has transitioning from in-person to online classes caused issues with continuing your education? What are some effects that forced isolation can have on the college community for someone who struggles with mental illness? Can you recommend any exercises or activities for college students who struggle with similar issues?
I also open up an exercise for anyone listening to do something nice for someone no matter how big or small the act. You can do something for your spouse, parents, neighbor or even the employee who delivers your food. Share with others your act of kindness, you can post a video, a picture, or a comment on a social media platform. If you do post on a social media platform, use our hashtag (#isolatedgoodness) I would love to share with you in our moments of doing an act of kindness for others. You can also check out my daily gratitude posts on our Instagram page @Covid19andmi as well as our YouTube channel Covid19andmi. Let’s be givers of smiles as we share our isolated goodness. Thank you for listening and I hope this helps you in some way!
