\u00a0By Hailee Jeske<\/span><\/p>\n

After an unusual Spring Break that lasted two weeks instead of one, it is time to get back to reality. But what is this new reality that\u00a0<\/span>we are faced with? This ever-changing world is an unknown to us all these days, but each one of us is creating our own new reality.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For me, every aspect of my life has changed. From my work, to my internship, to my schoo<\/span>ling, to where I\u2019m living, I\u2019m learning to create a new\u00a0<\/span>reality<\/span>\u00a0during\u00a0<\/span>Milwaukee\u2019s Safer at Home order.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

S<\/span>tarting the second week of<\/span>\u00a0Spring Break, I decided that it would be best for me to move out of\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0home that I rent near campus<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and move in with my parents for the time being.\u00a0<\/span>This has been a difficult task, but I know I\u2019m not the only student in this boat.\u00a0<\/span>Along with moving my whole life to my parent\u2019s home, my job also moved home with me.\u00a0<\/span>Being in real estate, I\u00a0<\/span>can<\/span>\u00a0do most of my job\u00a0<\/span>remotely<\/span>, so\u00a0<\/span>I\u00a0<\/span>can<\/span>\u00a0continue working from home<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Both of these<\/span>\u00a0changes, along with all my classes moving online, have been difficult.\u00a0<\/span>The most difficult part\u00a0is having to manage work, school, and my internship.\u00a0<\/span>Not having the structure of going to work and going to class at specific times has been challenging<\/span>, and I am still trying to figure out the best times to complete all of the tasks I have to accomplish each day.\u00a0<\/span>I am blessed to have the technology and resources to complete th<\/span>em<\/span>, but\u00a0<\/span>keeping everything organized from home isn\u2019t an easy feat.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing that the entire nation is in this together is helping me get through it.\u00a0<\/span>It is easy to feel isolated in these uncertain times, but it is important to know that we can use this time to stay connected to one another<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>There are many events that have transitioned to an online platform, and many of these are featured in the DAC Digest, which helps make it easy to find interesting events to participate in from the comfor<\/span>t of my couch.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the outcome of all these changes is uncertain, it is important to focus on what is in my control\u00a0<\/span>while<\/span>\u00a0doing my best to succeed with the challenges I\u2019m facing.\u00a0<\/span>The DAC team is striving to use these changes as an opportunity to become even more connected through technology and looking for new ways to improve\u00a0<\/span>the online platforms that the\u00a0<\/span>u<\/span>niversity has recommended.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
