Description
Mariah Garcia was finishing up her last two semesters at Humboldt State when COVID-19 hit in the spring of 2020. In this interview, she mentions her struggles with the pandemic and how she felt as though it had taken away her last semesters of school. Garcia talks about her depression and how she struggled during April and May of 2020 due to quarantine. Although she mentions how she felt as though the COVID experience was mostly a negative one, she felt as though it helped her grow as a person.
