So, as everyone probably knows, Snapchat gives you “a year ago today” memories in your account. It makes me so sad to keep seeing times when I could hug all of my friends, go to dinner, and just be in school hanging out with no masks and social distancing. There is no question that everything feels different and we are all doing our best to make it feel as normal as possible. But, seeing these memories is not helping anything.
Since November 3rd, I have been getting AIPAC memories from the first conference we went to. AIPAC is definitely one of my favorite experiences from school, and I can’t think of many things that could top it. I became close with so many new people, and just had an amazing trip overall. I am so happy to have been able to make so many memories, especially in D.C. right before we left for our flight. I laughed the hardest I’ve ever laughed when Ariel got put into a room with Sarah S. and me because of his feminine sounding name--sorry Ariel. We were all crying and almost peed from laughter when he started unpacking. I would do anything to go back to the first AIPAC and I’m sooooo upset that this year’s AIPAC was cancelled!!!
Looking back at all of these memories makes me depressed, as I know many others can relate. We all had such a good time and I can’t believe it has already been a year--it feels like it’s been 6 months max. Anyway, I’m already preparing the tissues once I start getting snapchat memories from the second AIPAC. Who else is getting depressed seeing their “year ago today” memories from pre-corona times?
I completely agree the snap chat memories that I have been getting are really heartbreaking because I know that this year I cannot experience the same things I did last year.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what you're talking about. Ariel is the most masculine name I can think of.
ReplyDeleteI agree about how much I miss the times when we could just hug our friends when I look back at old photos.
ReplyDeleteYeah snap memories have been such a bummer lately. It's crazy how much we used to take for granted, like something as simple as eating at a restaurant without a mask.
