How Is Roger Schaefer Doing 2020

So, it's 2020. Remember 2020? What a year! But let's be honest, who really remembers what everyone was doing specifically?
Especially someone like... Roger Schaefer. The name might ring a bell for some, a distant chime of recognition. Or maybe not. That's perfectly fine, frankly.
Roger Schaefer: A Mystery Wrapped in Ennui?
My unpopular opinion? Unless you're actually Roger Schaefer's mom (hi, Mrs. Schaefer, if you're out there!), caring deeply about his 2020 is... optional. Seriously optional.
Must Read
Think about it. We were all just trying to survive 2020. Remember the sourdough craze? The Tiger King obsession?
We were mostly just trying to figure out how to unmute ourselves on Zoom. Personal growth might have happened, but mostly we were just trying to keep it together.
Speculation Time! (Probably Wrong)
Let's indulge in some harmless speculation. Maybe Roger Schaefer finally organized his sock drawer. A truly Herculean feat.
Perhaps he discovered a previously unknown talent for interpretive dance. Stranger things did happen in 2020.
Or maybe he just binged Netflix like the rest of us. Let's be real, that's the most likely scenario. We've all been there.

I'm betting he spent at least one afternoon trying to assemble IKEA furniture with instructions written in hieroglyphics. A universal experience.
He might've even attempted a home haircut. We all know how those turned out. Let's just say there were some uneven bangs walking around that year.
Maybe he started a new hobby, like bird watching. Then quickly abandoned it after realizing birds are just... birds. No offense, birds.
Perhaps Roger Schaefer perfected his banana bread recipe. A truly noble pursuit in a time of crisis. We salute you, Roger.
He could have attempted to learn a new language using Duolingo, only to be relentlessly threatened by a passive-aggressive green owl. The horror!

Why We Don't Really Need to Know
The point is, 2020 was a weird time. We were all in survival mode. We get a pass.
Trying to pinpoint what any specific individual, like a hypothetical Roger Schaefer, was up to feels... excessive.
Besides, shouldn't we respect his privacy? Maybe he doesn't want the world knowing about his epic battle with a rogue sourdough starter.
And honestly, does it really matter? Does knowing the minutiae of Roger Schaefer's 2020 add any value to your life? Probably not.
I'm not saying Roger Schaefer isn't a fascinating individual. He very well might be. I'm sure he has a great story.

But there's a certain beautiful anonymity in simply existing. In just... being. And 2020 was a year for just being.
Let's give Roger (and ourselves) a break. He was probably just trying to make it through. Just like you, and just like me.
The Unspoken Truth
Here's my truly unpopular opinion: most of us spent 2020 wearing pajamas all day. We're not judging. We were right there with you, Roger Schaefer.
We probably all had at least one existential crisis fueled by excessive caffeine and doomscrolling. It was the year of questioning everything.
So, to answer the question: How is Roger Schaefer doing in 2020? He's probably doing exactly what the rest of us were doing: trying to stay sane. And that's perfectly okay.

And maybe, just maybe, he was secretly enjoying the slower pace of life. Perhaps he found unexpected joy in the quiet moments.
Or maybe he was just counting down the days until 2021. We all were, buddy. We all were.
So, let's raise a glass (of hand sanitizer, perhaps?) to Roger Schaefer and his 2020. May we all continue to survive and occasionally thrive, even in the face of global pandemics and existential dread.
And if Roger is reading this, drop us a line! Tell us what you really did in 2020. But only if you want to. No pressure.
But remember one thing. Whatever Roger did during 2020, he did it wearing a mask and social distancing, hopefully.
Stay safe!
