The 7 Types Of People We See In Every Zoom Classroom

Zoom Blog

1. The Confused Elder.

Technology can be confusing for all of us. There is no shame about it.

2. The Background Traveler.

One person is sitting in a forest. One person is sitting in New York City. One person is sitting in front of the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco. We love a world traveler.

3. The Black Screen.

Seriously, I totally relate to this one. I can still be present in class while laying in my bed. Nobody has to know I am laying in the bed.

4. The Best Dressed.

There is always that one person who is going to out do everyone by showing up on Zoom wearing their nicest clothes. This isn't a fashion show. Anyways, half of us are wearing sweatpants and t-shirts per usual.

5. The Multitasker.

For those who are this type of person, learn how to mute yourself. The whole class does not need to listen to you eating or talking to your mom.

6. The Screamer.

"Can you guys hear me!?!" "Am I talking too loud!?!" Some people have failed to realize that you indeed do not need to scream in order for us to hear you. Nor do you need to talk directly into the speakers on your laptop.

7. The Animal Lover.

Ok, so I am honestly not complaining about this person. Anytime a dog or cat shows up in the Zoom classroom is a great day.

Letter To My High School Friend Group

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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
