I teach my classes online from home. While I teach, I only need to wear a decent shirt, but can wear sweatpants and no socks because my students only see me from the shoulders up. I can take naps between classes if I want to. People bring me food, so I do not need to go shopping. Sounds like nice lazy way of life, not suffering.

But there has been a huge change in life for all of us and those changes have meant loss. Losses such as loss of income, loss of companionship with others, loss of daily routines are what we are dealing with.

For Seniors in high school in the U.S., the COVID-19 virus hit in the middle of their special year. It has meant no Senior Prom, no sporting events, and delayed graduation ceremonies. In the U.S. high school graduation is a big thing for the whole family because it can often mean a few months later the graduating teen will move to a different state to go to college or university, so graduation parties are a big deal for the family as well as the graduating teen.

One blogger I follow is Lydia. She is graduating this year. She is not certain if there will be a graduation ceremony and most likely there won’t be a graduation party because of COVID-19. Lydia shared a post of what she and her sisters did. You can read it by clicking on- Instead of My Graduation. Treat yourself to checking out her post and blog.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.

  1. I’ve thought about this very thing a loooooot!!! I can’t imagine, seniors can be selfish people (I can say that because I was one) but honestly I truly feel for them at this time…over my way I’ve heard it’s been harder on the parents rather than the senior interestingly!…I’ll have to go check out Lydia’s post!!

    1. I can understand how it would be hard for the parents to not be able to celebrate their children graduating

      1. Ya definitely!! So surreal.

  2. The pandemic has hit hard – so many people dying, suffering. With respect to graduations being delayed, there are of course those who were expecting to be ordained in the summer, who may well now have to wait. So many people being affected.

  3. It’s really fun to be lazy.

    Oh my word!!!🙈🙈🙈 You’re too nice!🤗🤗🤗

  4. I have two cousins who are seniors this year too and missing out on their senior activities. It’s unfortunate.

  5. Its upsetting. My nephew is going through the same thing.

  6. This virus has also affected our college senior. She was definitely disappointed she did not get to say goodbye to her friends 😢

    1. That is so disappointing for her and many students

      1. Yes, we had to encourage her to ‘look up’

      2. Will she have a graduation ceremony in the summer?

      3. Hopefully in October 😁 we will see

  7. Smiles. I read her post. It was “wowing” @ the ice water bath.
    I hope this clears out soon so everyone affected can get back to their proposed plans.

    1. I think you should try doing what she did lol 🙂

  8. I jsut watched your friend’s video
    She is a gem! 🙂
