"staying positive doesn't mean you have to be happy all the time. it means that even on hard days you know that there are better ones coming"

Good morning everyone :-) sorry I am a bit late on my weekly Tuesday blog post, I completely forgot to do it yesterday. I wanted to go a little bit more into detail about my classes and how I have been dealing with school since the transition to completely online classes.

Some of you may already know this but I currently go to Citrus and am majoring in Nursing. This semester I am taking Nutrition and Anatomy. My nutrition class was already an online class and actually ended last week so there was not much change or difficulty for that class. For my anatomy class however, it has been a STRUGGGGLLLLEEE. It is a lab and lecture combined and ever since transitioning to online, it has been so hard to keep up and feel like I'm fully learning all the material. We basically don't even do lab anymore, like no activities or anything; we just learn the material and prepare for a lab and lecture exam every few weeks. I kind of feel like I'm not getting the full experience which kind of sucks but honestly I'm grateful that it didn't just get cancelled or postponed to the next semester!!

Some of you may ALSO know from my instagram story a few days ago that I was recently accepted into Biola! YAY!! I have been having such a tough time trying to decide where I want to go for the next chapter of my education and when I should do it. I have a few more general education classes to finish up so I am trying to decide whether finishing them at Citrus is the best idea or if I should start this next chapter of my life and just get going. Overall, school has proven to be a challenge this semester in particular but it's nothing that we all can't handle.

College students all over the world are going through this exact same situation and it is important to remember that none of us are alone in all of this chaos. It's weird and strange and something we have never dealt with before but that doesn't mean we can't get through it one step at a time. Once again, I am here for anyone who wants to talk or vent or even just play iMessage games to pass time. We WILL get through this, just be patient :-) Thanks for reading and staying up to date!!
