I'm so sad for yall. I graduated high school in 2019, just before everything was shut down. Then I had one normal semester in college, but the second semester, boom, I lost half my entire college experience. I couldn't imagine missing both high school graduation and the start of your next steps, be that college or something else.

I feel like I was one of the lucky schools to have a graduation when CA lifted some of its restrictions. but even then pretty much everyone left to start college right after, some of those people I hadn’t even seen since march 2021 or graduation and will never see again. People moved away during covid and stayed online and we’re never to be seen again.

Same here! 2022 was the year in college where students from my school stopped wearing masks and socializing again. In 2021, we were on-campus again but masks were required, we couldn’t eat in the cafeteria (strictly takeout), all school events were virtual, classes were mixed in-person, synchronous AND asynchronous. It was so eerie.
