The holiday season is fast approaching with Halloween just around the corner. However, this holiday may look different than any other before, specifically the newfound concern for children safety with trick o’ treating amongst the still continuing pandemic. You may decide not to participate in the usual festivities this year, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the fun of Halloween treats!

With all the current injustice of the world coming to light, we are all encouraged to see the strength of our communities nationwide, to rise up and stand together for the Black Lives Matter movement. As Beverly Tatum, author of Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria, describes inaction against racism as standing on a moving walkway that represents the way of life created systematically, just moving with the rest of the group. But unless you actively move to get off the walkway, you’ll never change where you end up because there is no way to be passively antiracist.
In this time of federal shut down, many schools and universities have shut down for an indefinite time, forcing many institutes to turn to virtual platforms to continue educating students. With the uncertainty of the recent pandemic, some universities are keeping their physical doors closed as far out as January 2021.
With the quick spread of COVID-19 and the proclamation of pandemic, people are making haste to socially distance themselves or even quarantine themselves. Sitting in isolation or with a few people at home keeps contact with others limited, and chance of exposure low, but what does this mean for the overall health of the mind?
