Over the last year and a half we have been staying in our homes due to Covid-19. Being away from friends and family has been difficult, but many people found a way to safely spend time with loved ones.
Parneet Kaur
Parneet Kaur, a freshman, found a way to spend time with her friends and family. She used to hang out with her friends socially distanced outdoors. One day, she and her friends got Krispy Kreme donuts and had a little picnic in a park.
Parneet stayed in touch with her family too. She talked to her uncle who lives in a different country very often. “Every week we would just call each other and check up on how we were doing,” says Parneet.
Nina Rock
Nina Rock, a freshman, was able to spend time with her friends as well. “I would hang out with my friends at the park because it is outdoors,” says Nina.
For a friend’s birthday, Nina put together a video of people wishing her a Happy Birthday. She also biked to her friend’s house with a mask to say happy birthday to her. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Nina and many other Huskies were able to celebrate the special occasions in their lives with their loved ones.
