The air is still, the streets are deserted, and the financial aid line has receded. It's officially the school season and everyone has quickly realized that this is the real deal. You have assignments due daily in every class, and yet you were sure that you would have time to work, party, socialize and sleep.
Oh no honey! There is time for all of that once that degree is in your hand and you are still forced to work at Wally World because all the good jobs require this mysterious amount of work time in the field....explain to me exactly how I am supposed to gain experience in my field if no one will give me the experience until I have experience working in the field.
...My head is spinning now...
Teachers are now figuring out how to use the online classrooms and students are taking advantage of that. I overheard a couple of the students saying their attendance in the class isn't mandatory because according to the professor all of his lectures will be recorded and uploaded right after their class time.
WHAT?
Talk about feeding the laziness of the young!! Technology is a great tool and resource for college but I don't believe it should take the place of the classroom completely. Even in the instance of online classes, being able to meet with your professor face to face will never (well, should never) get old.
I do have to say that I enjoy online classes much more than face to face classes but it mostly because group work is optional and I cannot stand working in groups. I wish it were cooler outside right now because I would love to be sitting out there in the new found quiet of the campus. That is, until the stragglers wake up and start their midday classes.
Oh lord help us all around noon!!
