Leaving Charleston, I was excited to see my family but anxious about the probability of returning to school. I didn't want to leave. A lot of my friend's colleges were being shut down, but Charleston hadn't made the announcement yet, so I thought maybe there was a chance we wouldn't be effected.
I was wrong. My flight home was on March 13, little did I know I would be returning just one week later on March 20 so pack up my freshman year and say goodbye to an empty dorm. Although I was sad that my year was cut short, I was very thankful for how well this year actually went for me.
Although I always get car sick, I was looking forward to the nine hour drive home actually. I dropped some things I would need for next semester at my God parent's house in Mount Pleasant for two reasons. One being so I didn't have to carry these things back and forth moving in and out of Charleston. Two being, to make room for an extra passenger on the way home.

I haven't seen any of my friends or really even left my house since quarantine started. My parents have worked from home mostly, and both of my brothers have online school as well. I try to look for positives during this time like the fact I've enjoyed many home cooked meals since being home, slept in my own bed that isn't in a dorm. Most of all, I've missed my dog when I was in school so I'm happy to be home and surrounded by two dogs now!
Online school has come with a lot of work, but I can't fully complain about not having to wake up before 9 AM as I did in Charleston due to 9AM classes everyday.
