One of the many things college students have been asked to adjust to over the past several weeks is the move to online classes. They’re…not great. Professors are trying their best, but it is a tall order to recreate the classroom environment over a video sharing platform. Here are some thoughts from the front line:
- How is it class time already?
- I woke up 5 minutes ago
- Am I supposed to join these meetings before class starts?
- It’s a miracle I remembered which streaming service we’re supposed to use
- How did everyone get so obsessed with Zoom overnight?
- Is this the class I have to turn my camera on?
- Nobody wants to see my post 16-hour nap look
- Is it cool if I just mute myself the entire time?
- I kind of just want to eat through this lecture
- Is that in bad taste?
- The spaghetti would taste good
- Probably worth it
- I’ll be golden if I just go and mute myself
- Would my professor even care at this point?
- I remember him being so engaging in lecture
- Now I can barely hear what he’s saying
- What’s that noise?
- Was that a bong hit?
- Someone is actually doing drugs right now?
- I just wanted to eat spaghetti, but you do you bro
- And we’re just gonna pretend that didn’t happen
- This is just our reality now
- Must resist the urge to check social media
- Was that my phone?
- Another Instagram Live notification about Reggie Watts
- Who isn’t doing an Instagram Live at this point?
- We’ve got a million hours left of self-isolation and what else are we supposed to do?
- It’s hard to believe how adamantly opposed I was about being on my computer in class before
- Multi-tasking makes learning impossible, but now all I wanna do is multi-task
- Is that a person walking outside?
- My dogs are gonna lose it
- I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t barking
- I have no idea what’s going on
- What’s the etiquette with thanking our professor when he finishes lecture?
- What’s the etiquette on just dipping out when he stops talking?
- This was productive
At least Finals Week should be a little less stressful, right?
