Description: A blog about making it (and making out) in NYC.
By: Melissa Lee
Many weeks ago, back when coronavirus was still a punchline, my boyfriend Marcial asked half-jokingly how we would see each other if there was a quarantine. He lives in Boston, and I live in New York City. I scoffed at the idea of such a thing happening. But I am a planner, so I started thinking about the “what if,” anyway.
My job only required a standard computer and internet access, whereas his required additional computer hardware and specialized software. I live with a roommate, and he lives alone in a one-bedroom apartment. Also, if I went to Boston, I could see my family.
