Sinclair\u2019s campus closure brought on a large impact. For most, this was a place where they were able to study, hang out or work. However, lives are continuously being disrupted by COVID-19 and it has caused many to experience much stress, worry, anxiety and fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do students feel about campus closing and working from home?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSad, because I don’t get to see my friends and a lot of students were in Antigone, and now it’s canceled. I’m also happy though because I don’t have to be on campus for over 10 hours,\u201d -Riley Karr, Theatre Performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was an unfortunate necessity,\u201d -Micheal Carson, Business Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBittersweet. I enjoy coming there and interacting with the friends I have there, but I can acknowledge that it is much more important to continue social distancing measures to ensure everyone’s safety,\u201d Henry Wolski, Multimedia Journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is getting easier as I am getting used to it. But I believe in personal communication,\u201d -Wade Kuhn, History and Humanities professor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many students and professors are experiencing many different kinds of emotions about campus closing. This event is indeed a difficult one to process but we will get through this together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the year of 2020, we have phones, email, video chat, and access to the internet, and that is something to be thankful for,\u201d said Andrew Brown, Visual Communications major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo one realizes how many daily things we take for granted until something like this happens,\u201d said Jeri Hensley, Journalism major. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels weird driving by places that are usually bustling with people on Friday and Saturday nights that are now empty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, it is wise to use this time at home to start valuing the little things. It is crucial to absolutely try to stay positive through this quarantine. We will all get through this, let\u2019s make the most of what we have in front of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
