What It's Like Being A First-Generation College Student in the Pandemic


May 4, 2021
I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in December 2020, but for all intents and purposes, my on-campus college experience ended abruptly on March 9, 2020.
The day started normally. I met with a professor that morning to check in about an upcoming assignment and to share my post-graduation aspirations. I went to my Chicanos and Health Care class. After class, I picked up a cup of coffee and headed to work, not knowing that I had just attended the last in-person class of my undergraduate career. Around 1 pm, UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ emailed to ask that all students and professors transition to online classes effective Tuesday, March 10 until, at least, after the spring break scheduled for the last week of March, due to rising reports of a deadly disease sweeping the nation. As text messages and emails from friends and professors flooded my phone, unsure of what the next weeks or months would be like, I did the only thing in my power—I continued the last normal day of my college life.
