My name is Darcy Jacobson, and I am a Junior at Southern Utah University! I am studying accounting, communications, and management. I live in Price, Utah as I attend college, but I grew up in the Salt Lake Valley area around West Valley and Taylorsville. My hobbies include gaming and watching anime. My favorite games include the Call of Duty franchise, GTA5, SMITE, and CSGO. I was an amateur Call of Duty player about two years ago and frequently played with and against professional players. My favorite esports team is Obey. I stopped playing competitive video games once I realized it was affecting my performance in school. My favorite anime includes Fullmetal Alchemist, My Hero Academia, Your Lie In April, Attack on Titan, and Black Clover. You can visit my blog here for my recommendations. When I’m not enjoying the latest episodes of my favorite anime series or dominating with the squad, I enjoy video editing. I have a YouTube channel that I’ve managed to get to over 1000 subscribers and over 180,000 views. I don’t share it with anyone because I’m embarrassed at how bad I think the videos are and I’m too busy with school to make better videos. However, I do want to make social media my career. With that in mind, I used YouTube as a gateway to learn about the technical aspects of social media including content creation, editing, interpreting analytics, and search engine optimization. My goal is to become a social media manager for a gaming company! I may also explore the possibility of building my own business. Wish me luck!

That meant that my classes were not affected by the virus at all. Normally that would have been a good thing, but I watched as many professors were giving their students all kinds of breaks while the only break I got was a professor rounding a 89.9% up to an A-. I had to finish Spring finals week the same week that my grandmother, who raised me when I was younger, died. I was taking exams and writing research papers while my mother was crying because of her mom’s death. I was not able to visit my grandmother in the hospital because of the virus. I watched the funeral through an online stream. Then during the first week of Summer classes my grandfather died. I also had to watch his funeral through a live stream. The family deaths have definitely been the biggest impact of Covid-19 in my life. I’m stressed out ev...
