When I first talked to Meg at the beginning of March about cancelling our Spring Break trip to Walt Disney World because of the Coronavirus, she thought that I was overreacting. As the news continued to grow and IU decided to extend Spring Break to two weeks, she accepted that it was best for us to stay home. Although Meg expected it, she was still devistated when she found out that she would not be returning to Bloomington at all for the remainder of her freshmen year. She had made so many new friends through St. Paul's Catholic Church and she wasn't ready to say goodbye to them for five months. She also enjoyed going class and didn't want to give that up. It took her a few days, but she has accepted the change in plan and has given us a new perspective on being quarantined.
Ten Things I Have Learned From Being "Quarantined" with Meg
10. Playing Just Dance counts as exercising.
9. Belle is the best Disney princess (and most like Meg.)
8. Cameron needs to shave.
7. Telling people off on social media that aren't following social distancing rules feels good.
6. Deleting social media apps to avoid all of the COVID-19 posts feels better.
5. Cal dominates the living room television and doesn't want to watch Gossip Girl, Dance Moms,
Hair Spray or Saved By the Bell.
4. Taking classes online stinks.
3. Biggest benefit of being home - the washers and dryers here work unlike those in the dorm.
2. The wii is the best gaming system of all time.
1. Watching "I Still Believe" during the pandemic is an awesome reminder that God
has a plan for all of us.
