      COVID has impacted me in a few ways.
      Due to restrictions, I am unable to travel safely and see my family but i chat to them daily using my phone
      The way I work has also changed, instead of going to classes in a big lecture hall, I am now taking my classes online and working from home
      My final year project is all online based. This means that my meetings with my team are all online

      With the new changes, I have learned to adapt new learning styles and new ways to communicate with my project team. I have learned how to use online resources like online libraries. I have also taken up new hobbies in my spare time like pottery and going for socially distanced walks

      Due to COVID, I had to leave my friends and move home.
      During lockdown, I was quite unwell and had a really difficult time getting to hospital.
      Now though, things are really good.
      I’ve gotten a new dog and I get to work from home a lot.

      Unfortunately, I cannot see a lot of my friends, I can’t play certain sports and I worry about visiting my grandparents. I think I’ve learned to be more patient and to appreciate the times we have in-person more.

      It has made it a bit tricky to get into the lab due to social distancing and travel restrictions. It has also made me miss my friends!
