The pandemic situation has brought many changes in our life. The way we assist to classes, the way we study, the way we interact with our fellows and friends, etc. Today, I have a testimony who tells about the changes due to the new way of living because of Covid-19:
For me, the pandemic has benefited me because now I spend more time with
my family, reconnect with them, learn to live with them again because I lived
in another city alone, with my own space and freedom.
It has also allowed me to do more things because being virtually, I do
not have to go to and from the university, so you save time that can be used on
other things. I also save money because now I live in my parent’s house, and I
do not have to incur any expenses.
Regarding the university, I have done very well in virtual classes, although
it is very difficult to be sitting in front of the computer all day, and our
generation is very dependent on cell phones, because with them we can chat and
entertain ourselves, so at the end of the day I feel eyes very exhausted for
being at a screen most of the day.
Regarding my relationship, it has become more difficult because he is in
another city and I am not because I came to my hometown due to the pandemic, so
we see each other less often than usual. In fact, we only see each other on
vacation or when there is some other opportunity. But the good side is that
when we see each other, we enjoy every second we have together, and we do a lot
of things to make the most we can.
So, according to her
testimony I dare say she benefited mostly from this situation. Besides, she cannot
see her boyfriend as usual, she is spending a lot of time with her parent who cannot
see while she is studying in-person and can take advantage of not moving from
her place to study. But physically, her eyes would be affected in long term
because of spending most of the day in front of a screen. In my opinion this
last one can be fixed with special eyeglasses adapted to screen luminosity or
something like that.
I do relate with what you say. The definition of family has been completely redefined during these times, and for good i think, but other aspects in our social life are unevitably affected. I for example started living during these times in my farm, in rural medellín, while my partner is still living in the urban part of the city, so it has been a bit of a challenge to keep things working, but well... Love is what i think is keeping us all up during this pandemic, and that is not restricted to the romantic one only.
