I live in Georgia but study in Indiana, USA.

Things in GA were pretty mixed in my opinion. Things were getting bad in Atlanta. But I live in a suburb and people here really take care of each other and take big precautions so I felt pretty safe at home. I did get a bit on edge health-related wise every time I had to go to the big city.

From what my friends told me at college, things were pretty good over there. The university took good measures to keep the students, professors, and staff safe there. I saw them give performances outside and even indoor recitals with limited and distanced audience. We're going back to in-person for next fall so that's exciting. I've been seeing various universities around the country implement a "you have to be vaccinated before coming to campus" so I guess time will tell whether they do that or not.

As for myself, I been home ever since March 2020 and haven't played with a group since February 2020. I definitely miss it, not having played with anyone for a year has been miserable. But, having extra time means improving myself. I have lost 30 lbs, and now I'm much more confident in my knowledge and playing the clarinet. So at least something positive came out of quarantine 2020.

Now that I got my 2nd dose I'm going to reach out to my HS teacher to catch up and play some duets together (she is also fully vaccinated). I'm also going to enjoy small-group outdoor events with my friends over the summer, so I guess "normal" life is starting to come back. I'm also going to finally play with some groups in the fall.

Definitely a year nobody asked for, but in my opinion we learned a lot.
