This was the year when everyone had to complete their education online via Zoom, and only indoors, to maintain social distancing policies. I recall my history class being interesting, considering we learned that Christopher Columbus isn't as great as he's made out to be on public holidays and whatnot.
That teacher practically challenged our way of thinking that everything may not be the way as we were told. I recall Christopher Columbus being seen as this great and amazing man. When in reality, he practically caused a lot of destruction, stole, killed, raped, and did other brutal things just to conquer the entire land to become his.
I do remember there being a discussion on how the pandemic affected citizens. Most of the victims that ended up dying were the elderly and the ones who were more vulnerable to COVID-19. I heard many news on social media on how this virus took away their loved ones and whatnot. One of my classmates even expressed how she lost relatives because of this pandemic.
I chose to take a Spanish beginner class instead of taking the third year of Mandarin class. I was already struggling in the intermediate class in my Sophomore year so I didn't see the point in struggling again by taking another year when I didn't enjoy it. The most memorable thing in Spanish class was that we had to perform a spanish dialogue roleplay using toys, dolls, or something similiar. I personally used my pokemon plushies to do the assignment.
Ah, I forgot to mention that I was a huge fan of that one one hooty house show in my junior year. I was obessessed with it during this time. I really loved the story if the green hair perfectionist and the neurodivergent girl who wanted to be a witch. Perhaps I was always someone who was a yuri fan when I was a teenager.
