19. Other topics you find relevant!
Here is a Writing Sample from the New York Times: (Though not comedic, you could
easily add in comedic elements to this)
Example: In “Surviving Coronavirus as a Broke College Student (Links to an external
site.),” Sydney Goins, a senior English major at the University of Georgia writes the
following:
College was supposed to be my ticket to financial security. My parents were the first
ones to go to college in their family. My grandpa said to my mom, “You need to go to
college, so you don’t have to depend on a man for money.” This same mentality was
passed on to me as well.
I had enough money to last until May— $1,625 to be exact — until the corona-virus
ruined my finances.
My mom works in human resources. My dad is a project manager for a mattress
company. I worked part time at the university’s most popular dining hall and lived in a
cramped house with three other students. I don’t have a car. I either walked or biked
a mile to attend class. I have student debt and started paying the accrued interest
last month.
I was making it work until the corona-virus shut down my college town. At first, spring
break was extended by two weeks with the assumption that campus would open
again in late March, but a few hours after that email, all 26 colleges in the University
System of Georgia canceled in-person classes and closed integral parts of campus.
UGA professors are currently remodeling their courses and revising their syllabuses
for online learning. Students were advised to not return to the campus at Athens
from their vacations or hometowns. Our May graduation ceremony was even
canceled without any hope of rescheduling it for a future date.
After this news, one of my housemates drove for 12 hours to her mom’s house in
Chicago. Another gave me a few rolls of toilet paper and left with her boyfriend for a
neighboring county.
The dining hall I worked at remained open. UGA allowed to-go meals for those still
living in their dorms without a place to go. Student workers who didn’t leave for the
break could call in and ask to work their usual shifts, but on many occasions, the
staff wouldn’t answer the phone.
On Thursday night, Athens-Clarke County unanimously passed an ordinance that
enforces social distancing and a “shelter in place” rule, eliminating nonessential
travel and large gatherings. Over 60 percent of the city’s population — the homeless,
elderly, and those with pre-existing conditions — are susceptible to Covid-19.
Local grocery stores had already limited their hours and lacked essential food items
like beans, rice and paper goods, showcasing barren shelves. I had a panic attack,
looking at items marked “out-of-stock” on the Instacart app and watching peers post
photos online. I asked my mom if I could come home.
We drove through the empty Atlanta highway, away from my struggling college town.
Now, I am back in Suwanee with dwindling savings, still having to pay rent until the
end of my lease in July. I won’t have an income to pay it.
For college students like me, the current solutions are: File for unemployment! Find a
job at Kroger or Aldi at the detriment of your physical health! Call your potentially
toxic parents! Tax refund! Personal loan! Sell your belongings!
These options are not good enough. College was supposed to give us hope for our
financial future, not place us back in our parents’ houses without jobs.
Mortgage and rent payments must be suspended, so further debt and illness can be
avoided, especially for restaurant servers, broke college students and those in the
working class who cannot afford to escape financial crises. Our rent is still due. How
will we pay it?
