Introduction

 Hello Wildcats! If you're reading this, you've probably found out about the impacts of the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2020 and decided to do some research. Lucky for you, I have made this blog to inform you of what it was like to go to college at the University of Kentucky during this pandemic. But before we get straight into it, I'll introduce myself. My name is Hannah Hundley and I'm from Louisville, Kentucky, which is about an hour drive from UK. I'm a sophomore here at UK, majoring in Human Health Sciences on the pre-optometry track. So far, my experience with COVID-19 hasn't been too extraordinary. Other than having relatives who are high risk, nothing with the virus aspect of the pandemic has affected my family in any way. I have some friends who had family that have been affected by the pandemic, but it hasn't been too much of a burden for my family. I believe the closest COVID could have come to me would be at my summer job at Kentucky Kingdom. During the last month or so, it was found that some of the ride operators were positive for the virus. I'm in a different department than rides, but I work close to the rides management, which is a bit scary to think I may have been exposed to it at some point. However, other than what I've said, and apart from the necessary restrictions caused by the pandemic (i.e. social distancing, mask mandates, online classes, etc.), the pandemic hasn't yet impacted my life much. With that said, I will keep posting on this blog to keep track of how my life changes this semester in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Welcome to my blog, and enjoy!
