Going through that journey was so lonely, but deep down, I knew I wanted to do better for myself. Once I met my counselor...
By Katie Newman, Writer and Research Assistant at MHAEM (Sophomore, University of Washington). We’ve made it nearly a full rotation around the sun since the dreaded COVID-19 virus reared its ugly head in the United States.

When I reread it, I saw that I’d addressed some things that had truly proven to be legitimate concerns. I didn’t have my favorite cafe to study in when I needed a break from the oppressive silences of the library study rooms....

Up until about two weeks ago and since August, I lived in Washington State where the first coronavirus case in the U.S. showed up in January, in...
