The first year since Covid was announced has come to an end. The year of 2020 was unlike any year college students have seen. A sophomore from Morningside University, Zach Norton, recalls his year dealing with Covid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Covid affected Norton as soon as his first football game of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I missed my first two games as a Morningside football player, because I had to go home and quarantine,” said Norton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Norton also mentioned the traveling team became a lot smaller due to social distancing. Less people were able to suit up for games making it more challenging for the players to have a spot on the team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was not all bad for Norton, however. He mentioned some perks of living in a pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It gave us more meal swipes at the grill,” said Norton. “Might have been the only good thing about Covid.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students at Morningside were required to wear masks to class and encouraged to wear masks around campus. It was Norton’s first time having online classes. Switching from in-person class to online learning was a challenge for many, however Norton liked staying in his room for class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zach Norton is now in his second year of college and Covid regulations have since changed. Students no longer have to wear face masks in class and in-person classes have started up again. Now, Morningside University and the students can be prepared in case of another pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
