Leggings are life!

The Pro's And Con's Of Online Classes
Erin Hicks

Online classes. We love them and hate them. Some of us are great at them while others of us forget we even have them.

As I am in my last semester of classes, my program is being moved to be almost fully online. I only have 12 credits and every single class is online. I have had many different reactions to this by different people. Which is basically either, "oh wow that sucks", or "I'm jealous".

So here I am to tell you the pros and cons of having online class.

Pro. I don't have to be anywhere at 8:00 am.

Con. My days are not that productive since I don't have to wake up and be anywhere.

Pro. You can wear a sweatshirt and leggings everyday to "class".

Con. Still wearing the same sweatshirt. Still haven't washed it.

Pro. I can work at my own pace through my classes.

Con. I have perfected procrastinating.

Pro. I can stay up late, because never really have a "school night" anymore.

Con. I find myself staying up until midnight to turn in an assignment anyways because I have procrastinated once again.

Pro. You can watch the lectures online anytime you want and you have the pause button option.

Con. Waiting to watch a two hour lecture before you have homework due on it isn't that fun.

Pro. Skyping into a class is easy, because its like your in class, but you're really at home in your leggings, painting your nails.

Con. You still have to participate in class discussions even if it's an online course.

Pro. You save a lot of makeup when you never have to leave your house.

Con. Never leaving your house means never meeting new people in your classes.

Pro. You can never be late to class.

Con. You forget that you're even in school until you have a huge assignment due the next day.

Pro. You have all day to do homework.

Con. You sit at your computer writing this article instead of doing said homework.

To all you people who have had online courses and hate them, I say give them another chance. There is no better class, then the ones where you're allowed to sit at home on the couch and drink a glass (bottle) of wine. And to those of you who haven't had an online course, they're not the absolute worst thing in the world. (I suggest getting a planner though, so you don't completely forget about all the homework that you have to do).

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.
