Wednesday, March 11, 2020 will always be remembered as a defining moment in the history of UW-Madison, for this was the day a pandemic resulted in an unprecedented move to online instruction and partial shutdown of residence halls.

It's the afternoon after Super Tuesday (Regular Wednesday?) and the sun is shining determinedly in the sky. Days like today are usually welcome after the gray monotony that is February. But today, I feel less than sunny.

The beginning of 2020 has seen the rampant rise of the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), a pathogen originating in Wuhan, China and spreading rapidly worldwide. Not much concrete information is available about the pathogen — with research ongoing — but the virus has been known to cause COVID-19, a contagious and potentially fatal respiratory disease. All of this has resulted in widespread fear and panic, but also an uptick in racist and xenophobic attacks on people of East Asian ethnicity.

As an international student from the United Arab Emirates (rather, an Indian citizen brought up in the UAE away from his motherland) and a born-and-raised Midwesterner, we have different experiences with the concept of ‘patriotism.’ Yet, we both see love for country the same way — as a means of advocating for progress and change, not an excuse or justification to maintain antiquated laws and social norms.

One of the reasons I — and I am sure some of my peers — chose UW as a primetime undergraduate destination was due to the university’s commitment to the impacts of education outside of the classroom, lab, and discussion section. Our thriving student org population, rapidly evolving city surrounding campus, and seemingly never-ending opportunities to do research or join unique projects was more than enough to pull my bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed freshman self to Madison.

I will admit this — I have looked my name up on Google in the past, multiple times. Some of the search results that come up make me feel quite proud of whatever I have done in life so far, while others make me turn red in embarrassment. However, one day, I found something that ticked me off.

As 2019 came to a close, I set aside some time for introspection and thought of everything I had been through in the last year. There were some lows and unprecedented highs. The year may have peaked and troughed like a sine curve, but I knew I could move into the next decade happy with everything that had transpired in 2019.

As Australia was engulfed in flames, the Internet promptly started digging for content — ways that us folks not Down Under could help, heartbreaking images of kangaroos amidst the blaze, videos of koalas holding volunteers hands, and an assortment of commentary on philanthropy methods. The Naked Philanthropist took Twitter by storm, Elton John and Chris Hemsworth reached for their pockets — donating $1 million each — even Metallica got in on the action.
