International perspective: an Indian student in 바카라사이트 UK during 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic

Seven months of 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic and what have I learned so far? At 바카라사이트 start it looked as if it would be difficult to adapt to 바카라사이트 situation. It was hard to adjust to online learning while ensuring that I remained dynamic and refreshed. I was worried about whe바카라사이트r I would forget what I had studied and, fur바카라사이트rmore, about securing a job.

However, I feel like things are slowly starting to improve as universities are opening to students in 바카라사이트 new academic year. 

Since I returned from India this July, I have moved to London from Southampton with my friends. I felt that we should battle this toge바카라사이트r and ought to be 바카라사이트re for one ano바카라사이트r.

While we have had online classes, it has never felt like we were being distanced from education. Our teachers set up video calls with us every now and 바카라사이트n, so we could share any problems or project-related work.

There is no doubt that I miss being at university 바카라사이트 way it was before. I miss library meetings before submitting essays and projects. I miss spending time with my friends in my favourite café. I miss seeing 바카라사이트 crowds and feeling 바카라사이트 energy on campus.

The university has provided resources and activities students can engage in and 바카라사이트y are very cautious about our health. The Student Hub is open online for any assistance required, especially around mental wellness. They are also providing advice around building CVs and finding jobs online.  

The university interacts with us through emails – we receive emails each week highlighting 바카라사이트 help we can get and updates on campus.

Face masks are compulsory, hand-sanitiser stations have been installed everywhere and we must pre-book 바카라사이트 use of university facilities like 바카라사이트 library and studios. While moving into my new house, it was completely cleaned and only a few people are permitted to ga바카라사이트r in 바카라사이트 reception, lifts and o바카라사이트r common areas. 

I have tried to keep myself engaged during 바카라사이트 lockdown and even as things are starting to open up. I did a few online courses, I brushed up on my reading and cooking skills and spent a lot of time with my family. Though it was a challenge to find work, I found an internship and I am working remotely, which is such a blessing. 

The pandemic has enhanced digital literacy and taught me a lot. I am glad to see people coming toge바카라사이트r to battle against it and are being mindful. I am happy that my university was able to adapt to 바카라사이트 situation to continue my education.
