1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,835
I was a transfer student coming into UND,

2
00:00:02,835 --> 00:00:04,530
and so I came as

3
00:00:04,530 --> 00:00:07,890
a sophomore and it was the year of COVID that

4
00:00:07,890 --> 00:00:15,165
I came in the fall of that '19 yeah.

5
00:00:15,165 --> 00:00:19,245
Because 2020 it happened right in spring of 2020.

6
00:00:19,245 --> 00:00:21,945
So in the fall of 2019,

7
00:00:21,945 --> 00:00:26,670
I got here and I was excited to get out of my hometown.

8
00:00:26,670 --> 00:00:28,560
And so when COVID happened,

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,235
I was having to come back or

10
00:00:32,235 --> 00:00:35,730
go back home to live with my family.

11
00:00:35,730 --> 00:00:36,780
And I had already stayed

12
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:39,410
an extra year, and worked which was awesome.

13
00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:41,450
I love my family, but it was like

14
00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:44,300
moving back into a stage that I definitely

15
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:47,060
was happy to be out of and

16
00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:48,470
doing my homework at

17
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:50,300
my dining room table with my siblings.

18
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:53,510
And it was a weird time and I was definitely

19
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:55,070
not happy to have left

20
00:00:55,070 --> 00:00:57,305
school because I was enjoying school.

21
00:00:57,305 --> 00:01:00,030
Really like the hockey and my friend.

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,435
As it's gone on.

23
00:01:02,435 --> 00:01:04,115
Now, how has it affected you?

24
00:01:04,115 --> 00:01:05,735
Has it continued to affect you?

25
00:01:05,735 --> 00:01:10,100
Have you had to adjust your lifestyle because of it?

26
00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:13,460
Well, I wasn't gonna do any online schooling at all

27
00:01:13,460 --> 00:01:16,535
after my first year at my university in Willinston,

28
00:01:16,535 --> 00:01:18,395
because I didn't like it.

29
00:01:18,395 --> 00:01:21,500
I didn't get as much out of it. I like people.

30
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:23,285
I like learning from people.

31
00:01:23,285 --> 00:01:25,414
And I get a lot out of a professor.

32
00:01:25,414 --> 00:01:28,670
If they're excited about what they're teaching. And so online,

33
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:30,170
you don't get any of that.

34
00:01:30,170 --> 00:01:31,730
It has to be all you.

35
00:01:31,730 --> 00:01:34,055
And so it's affected me

36
00:01:34,055 --> 00:01:37,280
last year a lot because all of my classes were online.

37
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,325
So it was just kind of a you just have to do it.

38
00:01:40,325 --> 00:01:41,750
You got to get through it and do

39
00:01:41,750 --> 00:01:43,430
your classes is kind of how it felt,

40
00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:46,400
but it wasn't what I would have preferred this year.

41
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,160
It's much better because we are on campus and I

42
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,490
get to learn from my professors, which is nice.
