Online student perspective pt. 2

My online routine throughout the day is pretty ritualistic. I have the same routine in-person students have such as getting up at 7:40 a.m., getting dressed, eating breakfast, and making myself look presentable. Although there are major differences between going through your day online and face to face, there are  pros and cons to attending online school this year.

Pros:

• More free time because I get off from school earlier
• Work at your own pace
• You can eat the food you have at home
• You don’t have to get up as early
• No bus (the ride home would take an hour long)
• You can dress however you want
• Don’t have to see people I would normally try to avoid
• I feel safer and more comfortable at home

Cons:

• No social interaction
• Sometimes it is harder to understand directions
• It’s harder to ask questions because I am nervous to halt the class lecture

Personally, I love online school. It’s a perfect fit for me because I am way less stressed about workload, and taking the bus to and from school everyday is a chore. I prefer to wear what I want. I don’t have a fourth period most days because my art class only has Google Meets on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I can take a nap during my lunch break. Online school is a safe way  to continue my  education, and the benefits of less stress are something I really enjoy. It’s an amazing alternative to face-to-face learning.
