Description
Scott Galloway interviews Kevin Torres, a 20-year-old junior student that studies Aerospace Engineering, via Zoom about the impact of COVID-19 on his life. Torres discusses at length about his participation in UCF’s Smash Knights. Smash Knights, a UCF RSO, is a club of students that enthusiastically and competitively play Nintendo’s Super Smash Brothers at the John T. Washington Breezeway that had to adapt to the restrictions placed by the university. Torres explains how the change and subsequent switch did not truly affect his learning experience, yet his social life had differed from previous semesters. Torres concludes that eventually things will return to normal and that even through the worst of it, people will get through this dark time.
