bay back when

2019

Remember when you used to travel busy hallways with your best friends? Now, you're traveling from the couch to the refrigerator for snacks.

Remember walking into the school and someone would inevitably ask, “Where is your ID?” Now, your family asks, “When’s the last time you cleaned your room?”

Remember when you didn’t care about laughing and sharing food at lunch? Now, we talk to one another through masks and wouldn’t even think about sharing our drinks with anyone.

Remember playing with your friends during free time in the gym? Now, you take the same strolls around your neighborhood, day after day after day.

This column has always been about remembering the “good ol’ days.”

Who knew the good ol’ days would have been just a year ago?
