9 Struggles of Taking an Online Class

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UH chapter.

Aaaaah, the luxury of online classes. You get to sit in front of your computer with a warm cup of coffee, not caring whether your eyebrows are on fleek for other people to see. Sure, online classes can be awesome, especially for us commuters. Not everything is fun and games though. I’m here to tell you the struggles of online classes.

1.When people tell you online classes are easy  but they’re NOT

2.When you log in and have NO IDEA what to do

3.When you see all the work you have to do

4.Video lectures take a MILLION years to load

5.When you have an assignment due and the internet dies

6.Spending HOURS on end watching lecture videos

7.Having to read 40 pages of tiny text on your computer screen

8.Quizzes you CAN’T save and go back to

9.Finally meeting the professor who has seen all your work in person

In the end you’ll make it through and all your hard work will pay off
