8 Struggles All College Students Can Relate To With Online Classes

With the current pandemic sweeping the globe, college students across the world are now beginning to engage in alternative styles of online learning. While there have been quite a lot of memes about these changes, now we are actually starting to learn what it means to be virtual college students.

Even though it may look like we're just on our laptops in our beds doing nothing, online college is a lot harder than the naked eye can recognize. Some professors have been understanding in these times of adversity, but others have significantly increased the workload and raised the expectations of their students.

Whether you're a star student or a total slacker, all college students alike are now experiencing the same struggles.

1. Dressing Up for Class

It's really hard to change out of your pajamas for your 8:00 AM lecture, but at least you can keep those sweatpants on.

2. Eating During Class

Giphy

Even though some of my professors prohibited food during class, they can't stop me from eating cereal in my own home.

3. Online Doesn't Work for Everything

Giphy

Labs online? Performing arts classes online? Physical fitness classes online?

4. Homework in Your Bed

Giphy

It is physically impossible to get an assignment done in the comfort of your bed.

5. Your Family Doesn't Understand

Giphy

Online school does not mean I am no longer a student, despite what my family members may think when they interrupt my virtual class to ask me to unload the dishwasher.

6. No More Study Sessions

Giphy

Unless you can get everyone in your class to FaceTime you with all their different time zones and responsibilities, there's no way to get your favorite study group together to prep for the online midterm.

7. Internet Connectivity Problems

Giphy

There's nothing like the fear that your connection will shut off in the middle of an online exam.

8. Motivation is a Foreign Concept

Giphy

You're telling me that I still have to write this research paper while a global pandemic is happening around me?

To all my fellow college students: we can get through this. Good luck.

Logos for classic rock bands, all known for inspirational lyrics

I grew up listening to classic rock, something I incredibly thankful for. The amazing songs that make up this genre, with their great beats and moving melodies, are just one of those "feel good" things in the world. Not only that, they've got the power to bring people with a shared appreciation and shared nostalgia. But what do I think is one of the biggest things that make these songs so great? The lyrics. Not only are these lyrics fun to sing (or scream at the top of your lungs, which is my personal preference), the majority of them have deep meaning. Here are 20 classic rock lyrics that anyone can use to cheer them up, inspire them, or advise them when they don't know where to go or what to do.
