Grounded

College is supposed to be some of the most memorable years of our lives. Our semesters are filled with important projects, special events, quality time with friends, parties, and…. studying (how could we forget). What are we supposed to do now that we are “grounded”? COVID-19 has encapsulated our lives. Online classes sucked, your family is driving you crazy, and you would kill for a good drink. Maybe you’ve missed your favorite event, capstone project, last semester of your freshman year, part of your semester abroad, or even your graduation. Your internships have been cancelled and hot girl summer is feeling more like hot girl bummer. Your friends at Grounded are here to talk about that and so much more!
