In this episode, you'll get a closer look at what's been going on in the minds of my best friend and I as we discuss what we've experienced after a month of being away from college.  The idea came from Gemae's cultural geography course, where she had to do a project on how the coronavirus has affected her life thus far. Topics range from Zumba classes to the effects the virus has on local businesses with lots of laughs in between.
