Ellie Levin Week 7: The End of 2020?!?!

 With the end of October very quickly approaching us, I’ve found myself freaking out about how fast time goes. Like how is it that this absolutely horrendous year is almost over? I already know that 2021 probably won’t be much better, but it’s so crazy to think that this year started off so crazy and hasn’t dialed down up til now. We still have 2 more months where things could go bazonkers, but pretty much this entire year has been a trainwreck, and yet it went by so fast? Usually, people say time flies when you’re having fun, but I’ve had one of the worst years to date. For most of 2020, I wasn’t too happy and had terrible stress and anxiety about the future. It just feels so weird saying we went into quarantine 7 months ago. We all really thought we’d just get a few extra weeks for Spring Break then come back at least in time for finals, and that most certainly didn’t happen. I still haven’t fully been back to school, with the exception of the PSAT, and I’m pretty sure there’s still random stuff in my locker from last year. Everything just kind of feels like a simulation, like the year just cut off and ended, and we just went with it? Like my dance studio just scrapped the whole idea of doing recital and we started with all new dances for this competition season, despite only performing all of our dances from last year twice. It’s insane to me how we all moved on with our lives and just accepted last year for what it was. What do you think about 2020 being almost over?

  1. Ellie,
    I KNOW it is absolutely crazy like how? How is this year almost over. Everyone always said I can't wait for 2020 to be over, but right now It doesn't even look like 2021 will be any better. This year feels like it went by so fast, but so slow at the same time I cant explain it. I feel like because Corona is not over it feels so slow but in reality we are basically in November already.

  2. Hi Ellie, I agree that time has gone by so fast!! Its crazy how the year almost is ending. I still remember when corona first started and everyone thought it wouldn't be a big deal. It's kind of shocking that the year is almost over. I wish corona was getting better so that maybe we could look forward to starting the new year.

  3. Hi Ellie!
    It is crazy, it completely feels like time flew by, but at the same time it feels like years ago when I said happy new years in January. So many horrible things happened I can't even count. I am convinced we are living in a dystopian society and you can't tell me otherwise.
