The first week of school. A phrase I have been waiting to hear since March. It’s been ages since I have had any connection with people that wasn’t through social media. Nerves and excitement run through my body as I walk on campus for the first time in months, taking in all the beauty of Syracuse University that I missed for the past six months. I watch the birds fly in
sync off of the Hall of Languages and over what seems to be the never-ending construction of the Schine Student Center. I see the incredible view that every student has witnessed one time or another on the famous Promenade.
“Emily?” I hear a group of my friends yell with an excited voice.
“Oh my gosh!” I scream with the most enthusiasm I have had in months. I throw my arms into the air while my head is tilted and my eyes are all lit up, but I don’t move. They walk towards me, confused as to why I am just standing there like that. Then I remember they can’t see my smile under my mask.
