In your day-to-day existence, what would you want future readers to know? What annoys you? Makes you happy? Frustrates you? Surprises you? Bores you? You can write about anything you like, about any subject you like, for as long as you like. This exercise is also a great stress buster.\u00a0 Don\u2019t carry your annoyances with you \u2013 let paper take the weight! One woman in MO wrote a lot about rationing, food in general, and trying to keep house. You can write as much or as little as you like. Even a sentence or two is better than no sentences at all. One gentleman wrote consistently about the barometric pressure and the weather \u2013 and that\u2019s all. One eighteen-year-old girl wrote pages and pages about boys, dances, and future prospects, all while barely mentioning the war. Give yourself the gift of reflection \u2013 take whatever time you can when you can to write whatever you can. This is your exciting opportunity to become the first-person narrative we all enjoy reading!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to\u00a0 post entries directly to the site (by logging in with SUNY Oneonta ID) or by keeping a paper journal that can be mailed later.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pandemicdiariesoneonta.sunycreate.cloud\/\"><em>The Semester of Living Dangerously<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is a collaboration between the SUNY Oneonta History Department, Milne Library, and the Teaching, Learning &amp; Technology Center.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Oneonta, New York, USA<br \/>\n<strong>More Information:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/pandemicdiariesoneonta.sunycreate.cloud\/\">https:\/\/pandemicdiariesoneonta.sunycreate.cloud\/<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Image Credit:<\/strong> Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@thoughtcatalog?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Thought Catalog<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Pandemic Diary Project for Housebound Students, Faculty and Staff of SUNY Oneonta.
