Why Wear a Mask?
Alright let’s face it, 2020 is not our year. Between the lockdown, the handwashing, the lack of everything essential except workers- and most importantly the masks; coronavirus is just kicking our butts.
As the Fall semester approaches, we are faced with more and more rules and guidelines. We might have to carry a handbook around campus to avoid breaking any. Just kidding, it’s not that hard, right? Just wash your hands, social distance, and wear a mask. Sounds simple, and to be honest, it is, yet there is so much controversy regarding the wearing of face coverings. Some believe it’s politically motivated (although I’m not sure why because if the government wanted to brainwash us they would have done it by now,) others claim they can’t breathe (even though your oxygen intake levels have been proven to not decrease), and some just simply don’t want to (even though it could help in the beauty department).
Well, wherever you stand when it comes to this topic honestly doesn’t matter because masks are required in very many places including Frostburg State University, in the buildings, residence halls, and places where social distancing is not possible. So, just wear it. As a matter of fact, if you need a few reasons to wear it not related to coronavirus, here are 5.
1. Improved dental hygiene!!!!!
Okay so maybe this one is a stretch but if you’re wearing a mask, chances are you are going to smell your own breath. Sitting in class for an hour or two smelling your own breath is not going to be fun if you stink. You might feel more inclined to not skip brushing in the morning even if you are late. (Do people do that? I’ve seen it in movies.) With more frequent brushing and maybe a new mouthwash, mask-wearing can be refreshing!
2. Save $$$ on makeup
Hear me out. If you wear a mask the correct way, you will notice that your nose and the bottom half of your face is covered. So, why not skip the lipstick and foundation on the bottom half? You can focus on making your eyes pop and maybe people will notice those eyebrows you spent hours working on. Goodbye bright lips, hello bold brows!
3. Attention! There is no need to fake a smile anymore!
Everybody fake smiles at people. Don’t try to deny it. It’s a sad truth. A kind of made up, unspoken sort of awkward social etiquette act, but hey, at least now we don’t have to, and maybe we will start being more aware of the moments when the smiles have genuine meaning.
4. A new outlet of self-expression
There has been some talk that masks are a form of oppression and bla bla bla. I blame Facebook. In my opinion, masks are quite the opposite. Slap a powerful message on your mask and wear it proudly. It’s like a t-shirt but on your face. Put your favorite cartoon character on it, add some glitter, do whatever, go crazy, and be yourself!
5. Avoid people WAY easier
We have been away from people for so long now that I’m pretty sure none of us remember how to properly socialize. The introverts in us have forced their way to dominance, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Superheroes use masks as a disguise, so we can too! Just slap it on and boom. Who even are you? Avoiding someone? The amount of time and squinting it takes for them to realize it’s you is enough time to skedaddle. No more awkward and dry conversations and no hurt feelings.
As you can see, wearing a mask has many benefits besides not spreading Coronavirus. So if that wasn’t a good enough reason for you, I hope these 5 reasons have you convinced! Feel free to comment on some more reasons why mask-wearing is beneficial!
Stay safe everyone!

Hey there excellent website! Does running a blog similar to this
require a great deal of work? I have very little knowledge of computer
programming however I was hoping to start my own blog in the
near future. Anyhow, if you have any recommendations or tips for new blog owners please share.
I know this is off subject but I just wanted to ask. Cheers!
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails
