Pardon my self centered attitude here. I promise I have been dwelling on the scary and grave things like how my parents could die and how my correctional officer sibling could be trapped in prison if they have to quarantine there. I’ve thought of all the elderly people who are isolated now and how scary churches are that haven cancelled everything yet. I’ve thought about all the people in similar situations. It fuels me to stay inside and keep my hands clean.

Commencement here at Brown is surely cancelled or delayed for an incredibly long period of time. I’m sure all the other universities canceled theirs too. It’s smart! It’s what should be done. I’m still infuriated. The government knew about this virus coming. They knew months ago!!!!!!. This could’ve and should’ve been prevented. Their inaction has caused deaths and cancellations of so many important events like graduations, weddings, birthdays, baby showers, whatever. I don’t think it had to be this way. I don’t understand how so many people can sing the president’s pauses after this. Again, I know I’m self centered here. I feel like I personally have been let down by this administration. We were prepared for this and then the pandemic task force was shut down (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.660citynews.com/2020/03/13/trump-disbanded-nsc-pandemic-unit-that-experts-had-praised/amp/ tho I’ve seen lots of other articles about this, this is just one I added for citation).

I try not to get emotional over events and stuff. I know I’m not that important and the things I’m doing are basic necessities for survival now. I was just excited. I’m the first person in my whole family to go to and complete university.

I can’t wrap my brain around how my parents can still love this man when he has failed me, personally. He has failed them. He has failed my sister and her children. He has failed everyone. He has failed every single American and every single person on US soil.

I’m angry. And I’m voting hard in the upcoming elections. Things cannot stay like this"
