Something to Make You Think

As I walked onto the University of Kentucky's campus on move-in day, the first thing that caught my eye was the light poles. Isn't that funny? I arrive at the place where I will be spending the next few years of my life and I notice light poles. There is a reason for this, obviously. Most of the light poles on campus have signs attached to them. I am not sure if light poles at the University of Kentucky have always had signs attached, but I am pretty sure those signs didn't mention some of the things they do now.

The sign above says to, "Mask up." A year ago from today, when the current sophomores moved in, they would have seen a sign like the one shown above and been very confused. However, when the class of 2024 arrived on campus this year, they understood completely. Masks, hand washing, and social distancing have become some of the main words in our vocabulary. We see these signs and we shrug our shoulders. It has become our reality and we have to deal with it. 

I thought this would be a decent first post about Covid on my blog. It highlights how abnormal life is now because of this virus. We have become so indifferent to things like the sign shown above. It is weird to sit back and think about what we would have thought a year ago from today.
