  Logan Knutson - Haircuts and Rescue Dogs!

  Logan Knutson and Clara Posner

  "A recent experience that represents the spring term for me was getting a new foster dog. We need haircuts, but besides that, I've been able to keep busy without going stir-crazy; I'll probably be telling a different story in August, but as of right now, it's alright."

  Gaby Lazo - Quarantine Photos

  Gaby Lazo and Marcella Lees

  "The last week of school before we left sort of acted as a transition into the displacement I’d feel throughout the spring term. We packed up our room as though we were moving out, and I said goodbye to my roommate Lillian for the last time as roommates; even though they’d told us we were coming back, we all knew it was not true. Coming home was itself a surprise — I had been planning for months to spend Spring break with my friends in Chicago. I’d never been, and it would be the first vacation I’d get to go on without my family and just with my friends. Of course, the plan we had been developing for months fell apart within a few days. Learning from home and living at home still does not feel real. I feel lucky to have friendships that are sound enough to withstand even this, and we video chat for hours on end, watching the shows we’d started together on Netflix Party and studying together on mute. However, none of it feels the same. Everything feels slightly empty, and as much as I love to talk to my friends and even love my classes, it is hard not to feel grief over what I’m missing. I don’t get to sing with my senior friends in Acapella for the last term, I don’t get to experience my first Rottblatt or Sproncert, I don’t get to go to Social Dance Club and dance with friends, and I don’t get to meet my professors in person. It feels nearly impossible to develop relationships with classmates and professors on Zoom, even though I enjoy the classes themselves and know my professors are doing everything they can. Above all, there’s a shadow on everything, knowing that we are living through a historic period of death, and fearing that the life I’d worked so hard to build for myself may be permanently altered. However, I know that my friendships and my motivation are stronger than any virus, and I hope to keep working to build a life worth living for myself, even in quarantine."

  Jeremiah Mackin-Alonzi - Amesbury, MA Quarantine Photos

  Jeremiah Mackin-Alonzi and Clara Posner

  "While I love being home and appreciate this extra time I've gotten to spend with my family and dog (see the first picture), it would have been no huge loss if I didn't get it --I was soon going to be spending the whole summer home with them regardless. My time at Carleton feels like it is more finite and fleeting than my time at home, so it's a great loss to miss out on any of it. I am disappointed about the missed opportunities to connect more deeply with my friends and to foster new connections with other Carleton students (see the second picture), but I am striving to keep positive and am eagerly anticipating my return to the land of Cows, Colleges, and Contentment (see the third picture)!"
