Dear Covid-19

Dear Covid-19,

You came at such a great time in the world! 2020 is just our year, huh: The potential for WW3, the Australian wildfires, the loss of Kobe and Gigi Bryant, and now you, the Coronavirus. It could be the end of the world, and you were the icing on the cake. I’m only a Sophomore, so it doesn't really affect my high school years. The class of 2022 is just chilling while the Freshmen are worrying about their Freshman year being ruined, Juniors worrying about SATS and ACT make ups, and Seniors worrying about missing prom and their last year. Sophomores, on the other hand, are just enjoying the time off of in-person school. But still, I WAS ABOUT TO EAT MY FAVORITE FOOD BUT THEY’RE CLOSED DUE TO COVID! NOW I HAVE TO WAIT A WHOLE MONTH TO EAT MY DANG CHINESE FOOD!!! As an introvert who lives in their room 24/7, I personally don’t mind the stay-at home order, but MY DANG CHINESE FOOD! I was really feeling that peanut oily flavored fried rice and shrimp I always get. Along with the refreshing taste of a strawberry smoothie with chewy balls of tapioca. I wonder how the owners feel, having all that Chinese food to themselves, eating it all day, smothering it in my face :C. The first thing I will do when this stay-at-home order is lifted is RUN to Chinese Kitchen, order my usual items, and savor the taste. I might even shed a tear in the process. I miss this food so much. If I could’ve only had it one more time! *cries* So thank you Covid, for coming at such a great time to ruin my food life in such a dire time. 

Best wishes,
