Wearing A Mask Is So Normal Now

Wearing a mask was weird at first but now it just a natural part of the day. While watching TV shows and movies I've caught myself thinking for a minute that it is weird a character approached someone without putting a mask on first or the potential dangers of having large groups of crowds. It is so strange to think that before five months ago all of this would not have been a thought in the slightest.

 Another example from today goes to illustrate this idea of normalcy. As a freshman in college, free food is a very big deal. So naturally when I got a message from my RA saying that there is free pizza in the lobby, I jumped out of my bed. I ran out into the hallway and found my neighbors also leaving to get pizza. It wasn't until we ran down five flights of steps that it occurred to me I did not have my ID card to get back into the room. I managed to grab my mask and put it on in the midst of my excitement but I never thought to grab my ID. I was locked out and had to track down my roommate in order to reenter my room. A face mask is so engrained in today's world that is seems strange to not have worn one at all.
