Even the coronavirus quarantine had some positive moments. Looking back, students see that as life
slowed down, some moments were treasured. Now, there’s a way to honor that.
When it comes to repulsive holidays, probably none beats out “Virus Appreciation Day,” always
celebrated on Oct. 3, according to holidayinsights.com. But, if you talk to some students around
Riverview, those days of quarantine were not always all that bad. In fact, some good came out of the
time spent in isolation with loved ones and a simpler, if not forced, lifestyle. We asked some of our
students if they had anything positive that came out of those days, and answers ranged from health and
fitness to fashion and fun, but they all proved that students were able to find ways to make good use of
the time spent in isolation.”

I am a junior and one positive thing that has come out of COVID is the opportunities—working and doing
school online is very possibly going to be the future. Many online jobs have opened up since the start of
COVID, and I think that for awhile this is going to be our normal. COVID has sucked because everything
closed down, especially during the summer, but in a year from now, I think everyone will appreciate
going through this because it is preparing us for the future.”—Caiden Jennings ‘22
