Word on the Ave
What has been the best and the worst of 2020?
Jamar Hill
Junior
Visual Arts
New Orleans
“The worst thing that ever happened to me this year, I will say, was COVID, Trump and all the negative stuff that I don’t even want to think about. The best thing I’ll say that happened this year is that I started my own clothing brand.”
Taylor Bosie
Senior
Chemistry
Houston
“The best part of 2020 was that I turned 21, and the worst part of 2020 for me was that I lost my grandmother this year and my mother had COVID. But, thankfully, she is fine now.”
Walter Dixon IV
Junior
Theatre Performing Arts
New Orleans
“The best part of 2020, I would say, would be returning back to my campus, Dillard University, and being crowned Mr. Junior … The worst part is dealing with the challenges of navigating through COVID.”
