Goodbye Straight A's

 Online education has definitely negatively affected my learning. Yes, it is pretty awesome getting to do my school work while comfy in my bed but there are far more downfalls that come with it. Knowing that i do not have to physically get up and walk to class makes me lose motivation quickly because since i have all online classes this semester, i have the same daily routine while being cooped up i my dorm room which got old quick. This also lead to a bad mental sate of mind for me, from doing the same thing everyday without actually having to leave my dorm room to lower grades by attempting to completely learn all of the needed content through a screen. I also find it very hard to learn the content online because it is very unorganized along with technical difficulties which lead to missing assignments and failing grades. In an in person class you can ask questions throughout the class and get an immediate answer, but with virtual learning, if you have a question, you have to message your teacher and then wait for them to answer. I do not think i will be less competitive in the job market because online education has a lot to do with self discipline, even though this pandemic has caused students to become lazy, i think the work can still get done effectively and efficiently if you really want it and have a goal to reach. This was something we all had to adapt too and you have to know how to work well under whatever circumstance you're under.
