How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
The last couple of weeks have been very exciting for me! I got my degree and a week later I got offered a band 5 NHS Podiatry job! I am both excited and nervous about this new chapter in my life. ... I am sad to leave Edinburgh as it has been my home for the last 4 years as a student, it is where I met so many great people and I feel as though it is now my second home. I just cannot believe 4 years are over! ... The picture I have uploaded is right on my doorstep, literally! ... Lots of people travel to go on holiday up here, which at the moment is a bit annoying. I know we are moving through the stages and it is technically allowed, it is still anxiety inducing however to suddenly see more people in this very rural area. I wish people were more aware and conscientious of the fact that these "holiday destinations" are peoples homes.

Some people are feeling intense feelings right now as a result of the pandemic. Is anything making you especially sad, angry, or hopeful right now? If so, what's on your mind?
I am sad and angry of the injustice and blatant racism in America right now. It's mind boggling to me that in the year 2020 we still have to explain what white privilege is. That we still have police brutality. I am angry our government has made the nation divided ten fold than what we used to be. I am angry at our president for everything from his racist tweets to moving peaceful protesters so he can do a photo op at a church holding a bible. I have been trying to educate myself more on black history and racism as a white woman in America. I will never understand what any POC has to go through on a daily basis but will try with all my heart to be empathetic and educate myself the best I can.
