Covid era- lockdown studied
I came to the University in the covid era, and so we were in lockdown. Everything was conducted online and so studies was really though for me. I later contracted the covid virus which made things worse. Where I am from we are not used to conducting studies online and so it was kind of new to me, making studies a little difficult for me. Things became ok when the lockdown was lifted.
