Hi folks,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a while since the last time you heard from me, I hope all is well! I know times have been trying recently but the end of 2020 is almost in sight. What a crazy year it has been up to this point.<\/p>\n

Halloween is right around the corner and I know I\u2019m pretty excited to see some snow on the ground. I was able to catch Shawnee Peak\u2019s night skiing pass flash-sale. You can catch me at the slopes snowboarding as soon as we have a solid base. Until then though, you\u2019ll find me at home studying and doing my classes remotely.<\/p>\n

As we approach time to leave the UMPI campus and transition back to remote learning for everyone, I\u2019d like to share a little advice, as I have been remote since we got sent home in March by choice. If you ever feel lonely, reach out to your friends. Even though you can\u2019t be there beside them studying for finals, pick up the phone and call or FaceTime them. Don\u2019t be shy or feel like they don\u2019t want to hear from you. It can get lonely sometimes, especially when it\u2019s college culture to be so intertwined with your peers.<\/p>\n

I guess what I\u2019m trying to say is that your friends miss you too, even if they don\u2019t say it. Check in often, they want to hear from you. Hopefully someday things will shift back to something resembling life pre-COVID. Until then, find the silver lining.<\/p>\n
