Week #5

With finals quickly approaching, I’m sure everyone is a little stressed. It feels so weird that even though we’re all taking online finals, we don’t even have to go the JAC testing center. Most of my finals are papers and thankfully I’ve been steadily working on them. It’s strange to think that come May 9th, I’ll be done with school. Forever. (As far as I know.) Something that was such a central part of my existence will be no more. I think I’m equally scared for my future as excited.

As I’m sure everyone is already aware, Ole Miss is sending out graduates a special package. A lot is going on with my family currently with two upcoming online graduations and a birthday coming up this Friday. I’ve been going to the grocery store- mask and all- for my grandma who lives in an assisted living center for these past few weeks. I love my grandma, trust me, but this woman is a piece of work. She’ll call me after I drop off her groceries at the center and tell me I got half of her order wrong. (False.) She doesn’t understand the severity of the situation and calls my family crying almost daily. This usually results in calming her down and telling her to put on Hallmark Channel.

If anyone has Apple TV and is a fan of M. Night Shyamalan, please watch “Servant”. It’s probably one of my favorite shows I’ve watched in a long time. It’s pretty dark and unsettling though, ha. I still highly recommend. My parents and I have one more episode of “Ozark” left and I’m very heartbroken about it. We purposely only watched it over the weekends so it would last longer. I finished “Little Fires Everywhere” on Hulu and that finale was…. intense. I enjoyed the show, but one of my friends who loved the book didn’t like the show at all. I’m curious as to why so I might be ordering the book soon to compare. I need something light and fun to watch. If only “The Bachelorette” was premiering this June. Fun fact- not only does my mom throw shindigs for The Oscars, she also has people over every Monday night whenever a new episode of “The Bachelor” comes on. She just really loves serving appetizers, I guess. I’m going to miss walking downstairs and having small talk with those women come June.

April has gone by incredibly fast. This past weekend was supposed to be Double Decker. I can’t believe it’s almost May. I guess the question everyone has is, how long is quarantine going to last? I feel like the news reports something completely different every single day, understandably so. Everything is unknown! Like I said in my previous post, I’m luckily still enjoying the routine I have set for myself. It’s going to feel strange for a while when we can sit in a restaurant, go to an amusement park or even go to a friends house to hangout again. If this quarantine has taught me anything, it’s that the time we spend with our loved ones is so important. Not that I didn’t know that before, but now it really hits home. I think that everyone will be much more appreciative of the moment once this is over.
