Creative Solutions for Sheltering at Home With College Students
Gen Z has suddenly and rapidly turned into Gen Zoom. Instead of dorm life, lectures and long nights at the library, they are now back home with their entire student life online only. Videoconferencing via Zoom or google classroom is the new normal for lectures, seminars and group work. Covid-19 or the coronavirus is turning many lives and families upside-down, requiring all of us to do our part and stay at home. Our college student is back home and last week classes picked up where they left off before spring break. When she left for college, I turned her bedroom into the funflector home office. Sheltering at home with college students was not on our radar! Now, we had to get creative in how we use the space in our small house.
Timesharing
Her bed is in a secluded part of the house, but without much daylight. As Scandinavians, we know in our bones how crucial daylight and also a view of trees and greenery are for our wellbeing, so we had to find a brighter spot for the desk. With the attitude of “let’s try this and if it doesn’t work, we’ll figure out a different solution,” we squeezed in a small desk and some office storage in the master bedroom. The room is sitting unused most of the day, is in a corner of the house and has a door to close, so it was the most undisturbed place we could think of.
