I personally was resistant to return home just because I love the independence I have at GV, but now that I’m actually home, I am glad to be back with my family during this time. My one friend who lived on campus had to leave as soon as possible which was incredibly sad, but I spent the night with him to enjoy his last day. The next day we cleared out his whole apartment and sadly said our goodbyes. I have my apartment for the whole summer, so I only brought home my essentials such as clothes, hygiene products, etc. - Surprisingly, online classes have been going really well for me. A few weekends before this all happened and we were still going to classes, I had my first panic attack. Following that day, every time I would go to my classes I would have to leave the classroom in order to get a breath of fresh air and to calm down. Every time I went to a class, I would get this instant feeling that I was going to have another panic attack. Once classes turned to online, my anxiety has calmed down and I have been able to focus on myself. Being able to work in the comfort of my own room has been so much less stressful and I have not had a panic attack since. I think this is because I don't have to be in public anymore and worried about having anxiety with lots of people around me. I have been able to keep up my grades and everything is going well. - My student organization, NSSLHA, requires a certain amount of volunteer and event hours in order to stay in the group, and as the end of the year was approaching, I was overwhelmed because I had about 3 more events to go. Since COVID -19 occurred, NSSLHA had to smartly state that we no longer needed these hours and that as long as we paid our dues, we would still be in the group. Although I wish I could have gotten the extra volunteering experience, I was grateful to not have as much stress to get these hours in especially since exams were right around the corner. - Although normally my household is annoying and I just want to go back to school ASAP, life at home has been very relaxing and comforting. This is a time where we need to support each other through all of this and we have been getting through by experimenting with new cooking recipes, watching movies, and just talking about life. My mom is so happy that I am back home, and I am glad to be able to bring her this joy. My brother who I do not always get along with very well, has also made an effort to bond with me and I am very excited about strengthening our relationship during this time. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I am a junior and live in off campus housing at Enclave in allendale so I was able to stay where I live. With classes being all moved online I felt overwhelmed at first. It seemed most of my teachers were overwhelmed too. Assignments seemed to pile up quickly within the first two weeks online. The weeks following slowed down and I felt I was caught up. My classes have continued to not feel too overwhelming but it is definitely different than attending class in person. My professors have all been very supportive during this time and fairly accommodating to any issues. I work at Allendale Biggby and I remained in Allendale after school was closed because Biggby was still open. I worked until we were closed on March 23rd and then I moved home with my parents, sister, and grandmother. Daily life was a lot of fun things together or household tasks. I helped organize my dad’s office, cleaned out our barn, and played a lot of Clue. Time at home really flew by and it was nice to spend time with my family while everyone was off work. Everyone's a little stressed about money but trying to stay positive and realize everyone is going through this as well. Eventually, my work reopened on April 13th after putting in more precautionary measures like plexiglass. Biggby never technically had to close because we are considered take out food and beverage but they wanted to make it safer for the workers and customers. So now I am back in Allendale and back to work. As for my friends, many are working from home and we all just miss hanging out and going out. We’ve kept in contact via text, facetime, and even Zoom. I personally do not know anyone with symptoms or anyone that actually has the virus, thankfully. My family has been working hard on trying to quarantine and social distance as much as possible. When going to the store we have been wearing gloves and masks and wiping �everything down when it comes into the house. There have been many shortages at all grocery stores. Mostly cleaning products, hand sanitizers, and toilet paper. It is crazy how much people are freaking out about toilet paper. Everything at stores now has limits on how many things you can buy. Milk and eggs mostly have a limit of one or two as well as toilet paper. Stores are doung better at staying stocked now weeks later but today (April 22) there was still no toilet paper at the Standale Meijer. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I would have never assumed business would close down, school would be remote, online learning, dorms would be emptied, mandatory stay at home orders would be placed and wearing masks would become normal. As a college student, there was a stigma that us young people wouldn't get sick. However, we quickly learned that’s not the case. I first started receiving emails from GVSU professors when we got back from spring break. These emails stated that those who had travelled to high risk areas decided to self-quarantine. It was then that I realized how big of a deal this was going to be. Shortly after students returned from spring break GVSU shut down campus. I live off campus so i wasn't forced to move back home. However, I frequently go home to visit my parents. I'm unable to see my friends and was required to take time off of work. Today, i saw my friends for the first time in two months. We had practiced social distancing, she just stopped by my house to pick something up and then left. That’s the most human contact outside of my family that I've had in a while. I also returned to work this week 4/20/20 after taking a month off. It surprises me how few people wear masks out in public or take other precautions. I wear a mask and work behind plexiglass at the cash register. However, my work does not require employees to wear a mask although I think they should. In addition to work, my classes have been difficult online. I have a few professors who are more than willing to help, accept late work, accommodate you in anyway possible, send out multiple announcements daily on blackboard but, i also have professors who have only reached out the day before an exam, don't put it any effort to host virtual class or take days to a week to respond to questions. I’ve managed to maintain great grades this semester given the circumstances. I am a part of NSSLHA and NSLS on campus, these clubs require me to do volunteer hours and attend meetings. However, I am unable to do so given the executive orders. At the end of the semester we are required to turn in volunteer logs but they had to cancel that this year because we weren't able to fit in all of our events before COVID-19 took over. Additionally, going to the grocery store now is a whole ordeal. I have to wear my masks, I wear gloves, I keep 6 feet between me and whoever else is in the store, I avoid using carts and limit my contact/communication. Additionally, I go to the store with a list, I get in and get out, I no longer spend time browsing. Cleaning supplies have been out of stock for weeks, two weeks ago I stumbled upon the last two cartons of lysol wipes and I had to buy one because I'm not sure when I'll be able to find them again. There has been a shortage for certain grocery items as well such as bread, coffee, milk and cereal. COVID-19 has taken over the way we live and I'm sure our lives will continue like this for a while. The governor is talking about opening Michigan back up on May 1st but even if that happens we will still have to practice social distancing and people will still wear masks. COVID-19 instilled fear in people and I don't see that disappearing anytime soon. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As a college student, I myself have had a few experiences as such. I was lucky enough to have chosen this year to live off campus, so I was not forced to move off campus and back home like many others. This did affect other aspects of my life such as my education, organizations/ extra curriculars, and job. With my education I was put in an exceedingly difficult predicament surrounding the coronavirus as I am a science major. I had two 4 credit courses which included labs this semester: anatomy and physiology, as well as organic chemistry. For me I have an awfully hard time concentrating at home doing schoolwork, so I often do it at the library or between classes. This was EXTREMELY difficult for me, especially the chemistry class because that was my hardest course this semester. Losing the in-class time and face-to-face instruction caused a noticeable drop within my GPA and has made this time even more stressful that it was before. My daily life has changed extremely as well. Since Covid-19 has hit my friends who are seen as essential workers and live in other cities and/or states have been displaced by the university and are staying at my apartment with me and one of my other roommates. Within my family I lost spending time with my mother for her birthday and the upcoming Mother’s day holiday. I also was not able to attend a funeral for my grandmother who passed in the beginning of March. I am considered an essential worker, as I work at a plasma center off campus. Our company hours and the hours I work are still the same and majority of the workers have stayed. We have lost a handful that were students and others who were immunocompromised. We are not hiring many people or having our annual audits and other normal business meetings until the virus subsides more. We have PPE available to us and receive a new disposable mask each and every day. The virus has affected much of my life such as school, work, and family. It has been extremely stressful and hopefully it comes to an end soon. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

What was that experience like, what kind of help did you have? Do you still have personal belongings on campus? · I did have to move off campus suddenly. I was just finishing my shift at a clinic off campus when I 4 missed calls from my mom. This was 4 days after school was switched online and about a week before governor Whitmer called the official shut down. I was planning to stay at my off-campus townhouse, but my parents were terrified that I wouldn't be able to come home. I thought this was an overreaction, but did not want them to worry. As soon as I got home from my shift I packed a giant suitcase from when I initially moved in and left ASAP. I have not been at my town-house since, and still paying rent, and most of my things are still there. I would like to go back to see my friends or even grab a few more things, but my hometown is 3 hours away. · How are your online classes going? What kinds of messages have you received from professors? How are other students handling the changes? How are you handling it? Switching to online classes has been a challenge, but has also taught me new skills that I will use in the future. My professors have been very encouraging, but it is also clear that they are frustrating as well. Many of them want this whole situation to end possibly even more than the students. This is understandable due to the fact that they had little time to prepare online instruction, they want the in-person learning experience, and they have families of their own that they have to handle while also handling their teaching jobs. My peers see to be dealing with the new changes similarly. I believe the biggest issues are not having a set and busy schedule, staying motivated, and not being able to spend time with each other like we used to. I have been struggling immensely, but I'm trying to stay positive and continue to obtain the education that I am paying for. Are you involved in student organizations, sports or clubs? How has COVID-19 and campus response affected those? · I am on the board as VP for anatomy and neuroscience club. We have not discussed much regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, but it does leave many things unanswered such as elections and what we are going to do in the future. Our current president for both clubs does not plan on returning to the board next year so we will need to talk soon to discuss future options. What is happening in your daily life at home? How are your parents/friends/partners/etc. Doing? · �Since I have been home the days go by extremely fast; before I knew it we were already 6 weeks into the lockdown. The whole pandemic situation has taken a toll on my mental health, and I know I am not alone in this. I am the type of person to constantly stay busy, but now I have a strange feeling of being overwhelmed but also not being busy enough. My parents and niece that I live with have been struggling as well. My 8-year old niece usually has a friend over everyday and thrives in school, but now all I hear is “I'm hungry” and “I'm bored.” She is also struggling because she cannot have visitation with her parents and has been very emotional. My dad has ADD and is currently not working due to the circumstances, so he is driving the whole house crazy to say the least. My mom has been very stressed trying to take care of everyone like she always does while going through the added struggles of COVID-19. We are having a bit of a scare at the moment with my mom because she may have the virus, but it seems to be a mild version of it. The hospital did not have enough tests and her fever was at 100 degrees for 4 days when they required it to be 101 degrees in order to test. My mom and I are close so it is nice to have her through this to give each other sanity. My family still try to have some normalcy such as game nights, movie nights, and everyone getting some alone time, but not having a set schedule is still difficult. I know having a schedule has affected my friends too, but we make sure to skype, watch movies over skype, and have made a book club for us to destress together. It also helps for us to have things to look forward to when the lockdown is finished. Are you or anyone you know sick? What symptoms, response from medical personnel? Getting COVID testing? · My mom may have the virus, but the hospital would not test her because her fever was not high enough even though it was consistent for 4 days. She became very tired and could barely catch her breath all of a sudden. Thankfully she has been able to use my breathing treatments and inhalers I have due to my asthma. The whole pandemic was a little scary because I have asthma and when this all started I had viral bronchitis that would not go away for 3 weeks, but I am okay now. ·· � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource COVID-19 Journals Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Grand Valley State University. University Libraries Description An account of the resource This collection of journals and personal narratives was solicited from the GVSU community by archivists of the University Libraries during the events of the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic. During this unprecedented crisis the university closed suddenly, following federal and state guidelines of social distancing to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus. The university closed its campuses on March 12, 2020, and quickly moved students out of campus housing. Faculty swiftly transitioned to fully-online teaching for the remainder of the Winter 2020 semester, and all campus events, including commencement, were cancelled. The purpose of the COVID-19 Journaling Project was to document the individual and personal experiences of GVSU’s students, staff, faculty, and the wider community during this time of international crisis. Some project participants were university student employees who were compensated for their journaling. Other participants were granted stipends or extra credit for submitting entries to the archives. Still others participated without any compensation or credit. The University Archives remains grateful to all who submitted journals, for helping us to understand the impact of this crisis on our community.
