Hi there! fortunately me and my family are all feeling well. In my family we all live in different cities and countries. My mom lives in Colombia, and so does my dad but in a different city. My older sister lives in Connecticut and my older brother lives in California. We try our best to keep constant communication with each other, and make sure we are all being supported in every way. For me, the situation that we are living today is a little bit overwhelming. I am the youngest in my family, and for me it’s being difficult to be away from my parents, especially from my mom since we are very close to each other. I try to keep myself positive. Thank g*d my boyfriend is a great support for me during this time, and keep encouraging me to keep my head up and continue pushing forward. I now believe the rainbow will show after this storm we are going through. I don’t really have plans for spring break other than to try to keep myself busy at home. I’ll take advantage of that time and catch up with some assignments and readings I need to do. I wish you all the best. Stay calm and positive. I miss you all and I’m sending you big hugs. – Juli
Hey Juliana, I am glad you and your family are doing good. It is really difficult to have your family away and not being able to go visit them however hopefully we will get through this soon. I can totally understand you because I have been in a similar situation (even worse unfortunately) where both of my parents lived here in the United States and me and my sister were in my country living with my grandmother, I only seen them in the summer time, it was a really difficult time however I had to stay positive with my sister until my papers where done and me and my sister can come and reunite with our parents after 7 years of only seeing each other in the summer time. Everything is temporary and everything does become better it is just the matter if patients and hope. Some Tips that I can give you is stay connected through phone calls, video chats etc, these will help although it wont feel the same I am sure this is a short time thing hopefully. Also keep your head up and stay as busy as you can in order to keep your mind off it. Stay safe and stay positive, we miss you to girl :).
Juli, I miss seeing you in my classes. Thanks for sharing. We will all get through this very soon!
How are you doing?- I am doing ok as of right now. I do all of my homework before it is due so I have time to relax and do things I wanna do. My family is doing ok which I’m happy about.
What are your plans for Spring Break?- Relaxing and starting to sing and play piano again mostly. I haven’t played piano in like 2 years lol feel like I forgot everything about it.
What are you looking forward to over Spring Break?- Just getting back into my music to keep me relaxed, spending time with my family, talking on the phone with my dad and grandmother and sleeping all i want without worrying about work I have to do. Although I feel like I will get bored because homework is all I do now. But I’ll find some things to do
Hey Solanny, I am glad you and your family are are doing good. That is very nice that you have talents, such as playing the piano and singing as you mentioned. Music really dose help in these rough times so really do take advantage of those talents :).
Happy you are well Solanny ! Think its dope you can play the piano. I’d like to learn also in the near future. Hope you enjoy your week an upcoming spring break.
good job babes that you do work before its due keep it up!
Nice Solanny, take time to relax, we all need it right now
How are you doing? I’m doing okay, I’m having some issues with my other classes, but I’m working through it
What are your plans for Spring Break? I don’t really have any plans for spring break, I’ll still be spending time home with the kids
What are you looking forward to over Spring Break? Well, I was looking forward to just a little break from all the school work, but two of my classes did the recalibration break so they will be working us through spring break, so no break for me but it’s okay I’ll be okay.
Hey Erica I am glad that you are doing good. I believe that me and you are on the same situation as far as no spring break for us due to the recalibration break for most of our classes, although it is sad we will get through this, we got this girl :).
Yes Erica, same here spending time with the kiddies. Hope you get to get a little break from school work. Enjoy your week and upcoming weekend.
I completely agree that the break will be needed but I know that I will be spending mine catching up on my assignments
Erica, this is a hard time for all of us. stay put! I am glad you get to spend time with your family more now.
How are you doing? I am doing good thank god. Everything is good with classes although it has been overwhelming because of a lot of homework that is given to me because I am a full time student with 5 classes, however it I am working hard everyday to complete all the assignments and be able to complete anything I have to in order to get my attendance for each class weather it is in a conference call or in zoom video chat.
What are your plans for Spring Break? My plans for Spring break don’t really consist of much (lol), because of everything that is happening everywhere around the world, however I will try to make the best of it with these circumstances.
What are you looking forward to over Spring Break? I was looking forward to having a break from all my classes. However it wont really be a break for me because most of my classes will not have a spring break because of the recalibration break (even though it wasn’t really a break because the same days that it happened I didn’t have class anyways and I was still given assignments to complete) but it is what it is. basically there is no break for me, it is really sad however I will complete what I have to and hopefully complete this semester successfully. My main goal is to keep my GPA 4.0, as it is so hopefully I will receive all A’s this semester as well like last semester and keep up the GPA and also my goals to graduate by the end of fall if the ECE summer classes run successfully.
Edisa 4.0 gpa Nice!!!! You go girl. Your hard will pay off in the end. Hope you have a wonderful week and weekend.
Nice Edisa, that’s great!!! GPA 4.0 is hard to keep, I’m trying to get there. Keep up the good work!.
How are you doing? Today I am “meh”, had a week full of bad news.
What are your plans for Spring Break? Spend time with my children, help them with school work and get my school work done as well.
What are you looking forward to over Spring Break? Nothing much just happy to be halfway done with the semester.
Sad to hear that, hopefully you receive some good news soon

Yes Sarah, family is the most important thing right now. Thank you. Hope all is well with you and your family.
Deb, I am sorry to hear that. Things will be fine soon, don’t loose hope. Semester is almost over yayyy!!
How are you doing ? I’m okay. I had a bit of trouble with not having accessing the internet because my computer has been broken but I am slowly figuring everything out. Other than that I’ve been staying home and trying my best to be productive. My family is safe and we are trying our best to make the most of the situation.
What are your plans for spring break? My original plans were to take a trip to Atlanta for the week but unfortunately I can’t do that so right now I am just spending time at home with my family
What are you looking forward for over spring break ? Not much really, holing everything with the virus clears up and everyone in the front lines stay as safe as possible

I am doing okay. Every hour, I keep going in my balcony for some fresh air. I miss school and I genuinely miss seeing people other than my family. I have no plans for spring break as for me everyday seems the same. I am looking forward to the summer as I really hope that I can go back to my parents back in India. I wish everything settles down soon. Hope you guys are doing well! Take care.
