When I found out college will be online learning, I felt absolutely horrible. You see as a college freshmen you feel excited entering a new “world” meeting new people, experience new things, learn new things and lots other things. With this virtual learning, none of those are going to be possible, situation gets a lot harder. I never imagined to start my freshmen year as online student. I’ve always enjoyed learning in a classroom, having a face to face conversation with your teacher is way better than a virtual meeting. I feel very productive being in classroom, sitting in a desk, waiting for the class the to start however, when you have a full house, it’s hard to search out a quiet place and put in your best effort. It’s vital to motivate yourself non stop to be the most effective. But besides everything happening around us, I believe this experience will be truly exciting, we all must work together as team, provide what’s needed from us and give it our best shot. For everything to travel smoothly, we all need keep an open mind and supply one another help to regulate themselves with this experience.
I use this clipart, for almost every background. It motivates me to push myself even at times where I get absolutely lazy. Many of us feel anxious, petrified, spontaneous and etc. But know you’re not the only one, we all feel like that. I’m sure Professor Schmerler, will guide us through this experience and help understand everything that’s expected from us.
Ha! I don’t have all the answers, Lianne. Yet…
I am pretty confident when I say that you have a lot to offer us — more than you may know. I can tell from your tone. You already gave us something to feel good about, and you were honest at the same time, which is a great combination.
Thank you for explaining the picture as being something that you have used before and that motivates you. It was generous of you to share.
Hey Lianne,
I totally agree with you when it comes to having a full house and not being able to find a quiet space, I too have to deal with that. Although we may not be able to experience new things and get the full on college experience like we wanted, like you said if we all work together we can create new memories virtually and have a good time. Love the positive attitude that you have given through this post.
