Contest // Topic of the week №18 Has the pandemic affected your lifestyle? //

First of all I would like to thank @slon21veka for organizing this contest.

When I saw this topic "Has the pandemic affected your lifestyle? " my answer is a big YESSSS!!!!!!!
I can say that there are both good and bad impacts. I will start with the good impacts.
I am a medical student study in Russia. Due to the pandemic my university life has changed a lot.

This is how we were in classes before the pandemic started. But after the pandemic began and got worsen we started online learning. Online learning also had both good and bad sides. For some subjects online is better than travelling to the university or hospitals early in the morning (specially during winter 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶), but for subjects that we have to see patients and diagnostic procedures it is a disadvantage having online classes.

Also some times during online classes if the camera is not switched on we can eat and drink some thing 😜and some times we can join the lectures while lying on the bed😜😜😜😜 and I see it as an advantage ( but not for important subjects like surgery and therapy). We do online classes via Microsoft teams platform.

Also during this pandemic we had a chance to work as assistant medical officers in clinics and hospitals. I learned many things while working with covid patients.
This is my friend and I during covid duties. Also we got a good chance to earn some money by working in hospitals.

Due to this pandemic I couldn't go home during the summer vacation last year because the boarders were closed. There were some flights arranged for students but the cost was too high that I couldn't afford, so I decided to stay in Russia. During the pandemic we stayed in the hostel all day and it was so boring 😣😣😣😣😣. Also I became covid positive, luckily there were no symptoms.
Since the university was closed we missed lot of cultural and sports events and concerts for the whole year. Before pandemic when we had leisure time we always used to cook together and eat together and went on trips,we had evening hangouts with friends, but all were changed due to the pandemic.
