COVID-19 has impacted the life of every human being on this planet. Whether you went from working in a cubicle to your home office or had to postpone a wedding celebration, everyone has had to make sacrifices and changes to their daily lives in order to adjust to life in a pandemic. Colleges were uniquely affected by the virus because many were forced to keep students off their campuses, but some institutions have found ways to create safe environments. Nick Dowling, a first year Environmental Science major at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has found ways to remain vigilant during the difficult times we are living through. In this episode, I dive deeper into his experience this past semester, how he's managed to find success under these circumstances, and what his thoughts on what the relationship between the landscape of virus and the college experience will look like in the near future.
