On A Dime
It all started out like any other day. The sun was shining, with a brisk, cool wind touching the sky. I had decided to go for a walk outside since it was so nice out. Walked slowly along a lonely dirt road past a field of big, bright yellow sunflowers. I stopped to stare and gaze at the beauty that nature had presented to me. It was then I noticed a row of trees that for some unknown, and mysterious reason seemed intriguing to the point where I decided to explore and investigate what was around and in them. So I made my way off the dirt road, beyond the sunflower field, and over to the mysterious row of trees.

Bored in lockdown? 21 ways to make the most out of staying at home! . Top Story - February 2021.
Eat, watch Netflix, eat some more, scroll through Instagram, sleep, and do it again. Does this sound like you? Nearly a year into the pandemic, motivation is at an all-time low. Some days it feels pointless to do anything but scroll through social media, and that’s completely valid. You do not have to do a single thing right now.

6 Pandemic Habits I Hope To Keep. Top Story - February 2021.
While my methods are maybe a little obsessive and lean toward paranoia, I choose to take the precautions that make me feel as in control as I can be during an out-of-control pandemic. Still, when all this is over, I will not miss wearing masks any time I’m outside of my house or putting my incoming mail/purchases/groceries in a holding area for 3-7 days.

How I Found Clarity During The Pandemic
Twenty-twenty was a doozy of a year. Like many others, I fell into a bit of a funk when the pandemic hit because my life as I knew it had been completely turned upside down. I was uprooted from all of my favorite classes during my last semester of college and forced to continue on Zoom, which was no substitute for my highly interactive language classes. I left my job, with no real plan at all and was suddenly thrust into unemployment. Worst of all, I was stuck inside for weeks at a time with only my thoughts which drove me to the brink of insanity. Yet I was still one of the fortunate ones in that my husband never lost his job and we never had to worry about food and shelter like many other struggling families out there. We have been very blessed in this regard.
