echo and Oracle staff writer Allie Luna leaves us with her final thoughts and she departs North Springs and Georgia and heads to Texas.

This pandemic has altered our lives in ways we’ve never imagined. Our everyday lifestyle had to drastically change overnight. For example, no more eating out, shopping till the sun came up, going for a jog without a mask, and staying cooped up in your room for hours at a time. There have definitely been ups and downs and unknowing differences altogether.

My life has been majorly affected by this pandemic, but I have managed to overcome it and become a stronger individual. I have learned to be independent, creative and self-reliant. Though it wasn’t by choice; I think it changed me and helped me become a better version of myself.
