Give your story a title.

Socially Distanced Senior Year

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

When we first were sent home from school, all my friends were upset because it was our senior year and we wanted to see each other as much as possible before we all left for college.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

For weeks we zoomed almost every day just to try to savor our last months of high school even though it was online. We decided to try a car meet up because we had seen other people on Snapchat safely meet up with their friends that way.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?

This quickly became a weekly event and allowed us to stay in touch and still hangout but from a safe distance.
