Bored In Lexington

 When I committed to UK in March I didn’t realize my life would still be directly impacted by Covid the way it was at the beginning of the outbreak. Looking back, I am still very happy I made the decision to move out here, but there are many things I don’t get to experience because of Covid. 

First of all, I don’t get the college experience that gets raved about by adults and in movies. I don’t get to experience frat parties and hanging out with different people in my room every day. I am struggling at even making friends when there is no place to meet them or hang out with them. Moreover, Lexington is a brand new city to me and it is disappointing that I am not able to discover it. Museums, restaurants, and attractions are all closed or operating in a very limited way, to the point where I cannot go and enjoy them. I was looking forward to coming to UK for more than the academics but now that is the  only aspect of it I get to experience which can be a little overwhelming at times.
