Adapting to Being Alone During the Pandemic

In this clip, a UW student described how he adapted to being alone during the height of the pandemic. With his friends having gone to their respective homes and his family unable to visit, he spent most of his time alone. Even his online classes were spent alone, watching video lectures and minimally attending office hours.

I got support through my family over the phone. They couldn’t come over. I managed to adapt and go for jogs where I could in the park that was nearby.
