University life without the epidemic is very beautiful and colorful. I am very lucky to have a year of university life without the epidemic.
When I was a freshman, there was no epidemic at that time. I had just been admitted to college and started my college time. The freshman in our school had self-study in the morning and evening.
Everyone is divided into majors according to the class, and they study together in the morning and evening. No one pays attention to the discipline. It is purely based on self-consciousness. You can do whatever you want, as long as you are in the classroom when the time comes.
At the beginning, no one was familiar with each other, and no one knew anyone. Everyone was doing their own thing in the classroom, including pre-reading textbooks, playing games, and catching up on sleep.
But every time the roll call was called, everyone would quietly look at who the people around were and what their names were, and gradually we became familiar with each other.
This is very lucky. The first time we saw each other, we didn’t need to wear masks, no obstruction, no scruples.
However, due to the current epidemic, freshmen in grades 19, 20, and 21 wear masks when they meet for the first time, with shielding and distance. Some have not even seen their classmates in two years.
After getting to know my classmates and roommates, my freshman year was not closed to school. I could go out with my classmates to go shopping, sing karaoke, go to night markets, and eat. I could also go out to work part-time to earn money to support myself.
Yes, I can see not only the school’s teaching buildings, laboratories, canteens, and playgrounds, but also the vast sky and fresh air outside the school. It’s so cool!
During the holidays, I realized that the holidays for college students are so comfortable. They are not cut off again and again like high school. They last for just a few days, and they can even be delayed. For example, there are no classes two days before the holidays.
I can leave school early, plan a short vacation trip, and leave as soon as I want; there will be no classes the next day after the vacation, and I will return to school later.
This is a routine operation for college students who are not affected by the epidemic and extend their vacation by themselves.
There is no need to travel like now and worry about being stranded in the local area in the event of an epidemic. At the same time, air travelers are required to undergo multiple nucleic acid tests, and there is no need to worry about closing schools when school starts.
University life without the epidemic is so happy and rich. We have studied hard for a long time, entered the ivory tower, and can start a four-year period of free control, but the rhythm was disrupted by the epidemic.
I am so lucky to have a freshman year without an epidemic, but it is a pity that I did not have a complete and happy college time.
