I have been staying at home with my family. My two older sisters are both about to move away from home after finishing their graduate studies. It has been so nice to get this time with them before they move away. We are appreciating every minute together.

A positive aspect of this situation is that I have been able to continue working and have been able to spend more time focusing on the things I like to do, but can't always find time to do. Its been particularly nice to walk around Oxford and the trails without many people being around.

A day after I moved back home, I received a job offer and now I am working full time and saving up more money than I could have if I were at school right now! I am very grateful for this job and the experience!

A positive thing that I have been trying to do is to go for a walk everyday. This has been a little difficult because up in Northeast Ohio, it likes to rain and occasionally snow from day to day. Another positive thing I have just started to do is to read for pleasure. I find that this is very relaxing and helps to keep my mind busy.

A positive thing I have done during this quarantine is take back up running! I also have been able to read a lot more and spend time with my family and pets.

A positive that I have noticed and seen lately is the large increase in people outside. It is so beautiful to see families and dogs enjoying some of the nice weather and local nature attractions. It makes me hope to see people more interested in exercise and I have loved seeing all the happy puppies lately with their owners giving them extra attention!

Before all this happened, I had planned on living & working on Put-In-Bay (an island in Lake Erie) right after finals week was over -- leaving no time to see friends & family at home. Since circumstances have changed, I have got to spend a lot of extra time with my family and friends from home, which has been so fun.

At the beginning of this mess, I was very upset that my last semester with my boyfriend and numerous senior friends would be completely over. However, we all have decided to stay in Oxford together and see each other everyday. This mess is allowing us to spend more time together and to appreciate each other's company even more. We are still busy with school, but we have more time to spend together. I truly am thankful for the time we have enjoyed together.

The river that runs through my hometown is normally very dirty/shallow, but the lack of businesses using the river, people driving over the bridges and people visiting the local sand bars/parks has made it significantly cleaner.

"You  don't know what you've got 'till it's gone" -Joni Mitchell (Big Yellow Taxi lyrics).
This time is scary. Everything is shutting down, and so many people are suddenly unstable financially. With this, though, people are become more appreciative of what they DO have. Another term for this could be joy- finding even a tiny bit of positivity amidst all of the negativity. Because of COVID, people are becoming more appreciative of their families. They are becoming more appreciative of simple shopping days. They are becoming more appreciative of human connection. Yes, a whole lot of bad is coming from this, but there is also a whole lot of good.

One positive that I've had is watching how the community has rallied together to celebrate the seniors who are graduating and the essential workers.

Some positive experiences that I have gained from all this time at home is spending more time with my family, getting outside and exercising more, and learning to cook more. Additionally, it has made me think more deeply about things that I usually would not have the time for.

This has been a roller coaster of emotions, but there are positive things that have come out of this time. I have been able to enjoy the outdoors, spend extra time with family, learn new cooking recipes, and have realized the importance of not taking anything for granted.

I am so thankful that I am able to spend this time with Joseph. I know the circumstances aren't ideal, but I was really struggling being away at school so much. I love spending ever second with him and watching him grow and learn new things.

Through this experience, one positive thing that has come out of it is that I appreciate the simple things a lot more. Things like seeing my grandparents, going out to eat, and even just hugging someone are things I used to take for granted, but now I don't!

This crazy-ness has made me really think about what I eat everyday, and how much I exercise! I also am taking longer walks, and paying attention to my surroundings now that I have the time to do it.

One positive story is my boyfriend and I got a dog. Since we have nowhere to go, we can spend a lot of time with him. :)

One positive thought I've had with all of this happening is now that I'm living at home again, I have no additional expenses, which is good because I no longer have a job! I can make a grocery list a mile long and I don't have to pay for it :)
