Turning to Online Classes

How this transition to remote classes affects my daily routine.

Turning to Online Classes

This stressful pandemic has had multiple consequences to our daily lives and routines. Restaurants are closing, Universities are shutting down, and people are being urged to stay inside their homes until this pandemic passes by. One of the biggest consequences is turning to online classes because of Universities shutting down. Everyone handles this differently, so here is my take on the situation.

Turning to online classes can either be detrimental to students, or can be an aid that allows for more growth. In my opinion, I believe that for those who are poorly motivated, they'll fall behind on their courses. Those that are more easily motivated will thrive or just stay the same on the progression of their courses.

For me, I have poor motivation. It takes a lot for me to open my computer and get online. I procrastinate easily, and am prone to falling behind. But keeping this conscious can help to maintain my course work and not fall behind.

Other ways this transition will affect me will probably be my bank account. I spend twenty dollars a week on gasoline, and not going anywhere for these next few months will really put a dent in my spending. Spending more time at home will also bring me closer to my family as I'll be spending all day with them.

A positive to the whole situation is that I'll be able to practice music more often, since I didn't practice much during the past semester. Spending all day in my room with four guitars will really make me practice more everyday, since I won't have anything else to do.

Spending the next few months locked up in our houses will be either the easiest or hardest months in our lives. But together we can curb the spread of this virus and get back to our Universities and our normal lives.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
