Are there students going through what I’m going through?

On campus, there are many students experiencing anxiety, uncertainty, and hardship through the COVID-19 crisis. Here are some stories from current UO students that were shared with us via email: 

“I have been caring for my father who has been diagnosed with COVID-19. He refuses to go to the hospital since he feels that he does not need much help. I wear the masks, the gloves and the protective clothes every time I take care of him, but I feel worried about my health” – Male, Freshman UO

“I am an essential worker at a grocery store and I feel worried about getting sick. I am glad that my work has been recognized during this pandemic” Female, Sophomore UO

“It has been really hard to keep a balance, I just feel that I have been doing so much more homework than usual” Female, Freshman UO

“I am sad that I did not get to graduate with my friends” Male, Senior UO

During this time, we are not alone. We can use this time to become closer to one another and to take care of each other in whatever ways we can.
