How has your life changed during the pandemic? Please give me some specifics
I think everyone’s lives changed drastically. Aside from economical and financial changes, I think everyone’s mental health has been affected as well. Not to say that it changed for the negative only, but it also had some positive outcomes. I think it made room for discipline and forced us all to create routines and focus more on our lives. Overall and personally speaking, I think it helped me gain a new perspective on
Day and Night On Those Ferry Rails – The Macaulay Messenger
This is an anecdote I wrote back when I was commuting to college and when learning was in person. Remote learning is safe and has its advantages, but it also makes us reminisce on an ordinary routine that now sounds like a great escape.
Despite being born and living in New York for most of my life, I haven’t been a part of the city’s scheme up until I began college. Growing up in Brooklyn and then moving to Staten Island meant that I was “a tourist in my own city” because I rarely ever visited

Pandemic Pen-pals – The Macaulay Messenger
Social-distancing, a measure taken to ensure the minimization of the Coronavirus. This act has separated us from our loved ones, friends, colleagues, and pretty much anyone that does not live in the same household as us. It is the least we can do as average citizens who aren’t medically certified to save lives in the front lines, yet participating in this precaution has also proven to save lives as well. Quarantining and keeping our distance is the safest approach to helping end this pandemic, s
