“I guess it is affecting my Thanksgiving in that aspect where I have to do some studying to prep for finals and then I also work … I’m luckily in a position where I don’t need to get SNAP benefits, but I do have a friend that it heavily affected, and I had to help her out. So, I guess, I’ve seen the impact, of I guess not having those benefits.”

“I have a few in-person classes, but a lot online and they continue even through the holidays. So, I think for me, that does make it stressful. My psychology class, the due dates are back-to-back, even on the weekends, so a lot of times I’ve had to miss out on different events.”

“I feel like I’m very restricted on my time … I spend time studying and make sure that I learn everything for all my subjects. Because of that, I don’t spend as much time [with] my family, and I wish I could. I really wanted to spend time with my family and other relatives, but I have study sessions.”

“Now that we’re getting closer to the end of the year, there’s more work stacked up and then have to study more. It’s just like a lot of work being assigned like consecutive, consecutive, consecutive. It’s now getting hard to keep up with it.”
