The Struggles Of Online Learning
https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-woman-desk-laptop-3061/

It is now official that the rest of the spring semester will be done online...along with summer semester following.

On a normal day I would be boasting with happiness about not using as much gas or being able to post on a discussion board and call it a day. However, this is different. A week before we were gone for spring break I think a lot of us already had some kind feeling that we would not be coming back to our unassigned assigned seats anymore. Even though there was that feeling, all we could do was stay positive and hope for the best. Unfortunately, things turned for the worst.

Online learning is not for everyone. I repeat: Online learning is not for everyone.

I may not show it but I enjoy coming to class, I enjoy having that time to socialize with my classmates. While we may not all be BFFs in class, we have come to know each other over the course of the semester so well, that we notice when people are absent. Personally, I feel more motivated to come to class when I know I have a teacher who engages with the class on a professional and personal manner. I feel more inclined to participate if classes are happening face to face.

One of the major struggles I have encountered with online classes is that not all professors are equipped to teach online classes, and I am aware that is not their fault. This was all thrown at us and now we just have to learn how to make the best of it. Even though it may take some getting used to, I have already gotten into the grove of things when it comes to using Zoom. One of my professors breaks us up into breakout room which lets us have discussions with out classmates in groups of about four or five; this really help us to feel like we are having our usual classroom discussions.

We are all taking this as it comes and we are not the only people struggling with this new adjustment. All we can do it hope for the best so that things get better in the upcoming months.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
