We are well underway into a new semester...online. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on how students feel about this transition. I can relate to both sides of it. Although school seems much more engaging by going to class in person, seeing friends, and having study groups, there are some positive takeaways from attending online. The first is saving money on gas! Not a cheap commodity. Another benefit is minimizing the wear and tear on my vehicle. There are a few other things I've been able to enjoy during this transitionary phase as well. I've been able to have the time to take daily walks, focus more on my assignments, and read leisurely. There is always a silver lining. So I will remain hopeful.
