The last social experience that I had before I started worrying about the pandemic was going out shopping and getting ready for prom with my friends. My friends and I were on the way home from school in one of my friends car who was the only one driving at that time. It was afternoon during mid February. We went to different stores and malls looking for suits for prom. There were 4 of us total. We were listening to Roddy Rich’s high fashion when it had just came out. We were watching tiktok while it was starting to get very popular that time. Everything was chill and relaxing.

The virus was developing around the world during December 2019 and January 2020, but most of the people in the United States were not that worried about it. I heard about covid on the news but never worried about it. I thought it would be like Ebola and that it will just go away. I actually thought of it as a joke. Little did I know it would ruin my junior and senior year. We were halfway through the week when they just closed the school. I was happy because that means I got to play Fortnite all day. I also just started working that time. Everything was starting to get stressful for me. It was alot to take in with what was happening around me at work, school, and my friends. Everything felt gloomy depressing.
