It’s crazy to think about 2020. So many things that even just a year ago, we would have never imagined. Masks, social distancing, hand sanitizer, and forehead thermometer checks have become the norm. This has affected all of us, in all spheres of life.

Now college cafeterias are ghost towns with limited seating and plexiglass dividers on the tables. Big group social events are non-existent.

Over the summer, I capitalized on Disney+ and watched the filmed version of Hamilton: An American Musical. It’s a pretty impressive work of art, history, and production. After the Battle of Yorktown, there’s a song where the chorus repeatedly says, “The world turned upside down.” America had secured its independence from Britain, and from then on the world would be different—turned upside down, as it were. I think the same could be said of the year 2020.
