Virtual learning was definitely an experience that came with a lot of challenges, but also a lot of added benefits. Some challenges were not being able to ask questions in person, because some questions are too detailed to get a good answer to without seeing what the other person is talking about. I also seemed to zone out more online than I would in class because we were on zoom so long. I definitely feel I was on my computer more in the last year-ish than my entire life. Some benefits were my sleep schedule was actually way better when we were online than it has been in a while or when we were in person. My stress also seemed to go down incredibly when online because the teachers seemed to be way more understanding on zoom, and wanted to help you. Overall I like being back in school, but being online wasn't as bad for me as it must have been for others.
