Now Is Not The Time To Go Back To School

Trust me I don't want to spend my senior year of college not at college. But we need to realize going back isn't helping this pandemic.

Now Is Not The Time To Go Back To School

I wrote a an article on why teachers shouldn't feel forced to go back to school And I 100% still stand by that. It's not fair that major athletes are opting out of the season because they aren't comfortable. Which I would like to add is okay too. But what isn't okay is that they are praised for it while teachers are basically getting told to get over it.

But besides teacher we need to talk about students too. So many people had high hopes about going back. I honestly didn't. Trust me I was wishing but I tried to be realistic. If you really think about it going back to school right now isn't the best decision. Virtual learning is going to be our new normal for a bit. I just don't get how the spread if a virus will be contained in a elementary school, high school, and even college. I don't see how living with multiple other people who have different schedules helps this virus.

Now I agree we have to get back to normal someday but that someday is not now. Kids will be wanting to "trade" their masks just like their lunches. College kids will want to find loopholes in the rules. Let's be honest they will try it. And not to mention who wants to wear a mask during class. I personally think that might be difficult. And no I am not complaining and being anti mask. Wear your mask people please.

I so badly want to spend my last year of college at the library with my friends, the student cafe with my roommates, and just being in college. But I also understand my health is just as important. If you don't believe moving in to college right now is the right move then trust your gut. And to the people who need to go to college to not be home then go. I understand that dorms are better than home for some people, and thats okay. Be cautious my friends. Wear a mask and wash your hands.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
