14 Zoom Moments Every Student Can, Unfortunately, Relate To In Online Lectures

With back to school season coming up, students are getting used to the new culture of online lectures and remote learning. Here are some relatable parts of the Zoom experience!

1. Reading the room to see if other people have their cameras on

"being in a class on zoom like"

2. “Can you hear me?”

There will always be some type of audio issue, so make sure to test your speaker and microphone!

3. The echoey feedback when someone forgets to mute

Or when you can hear parents, pets, and sirens in the background.

4. When someone screenshares and they forgot to close their other tabs

Getting a glimpse of others' email inboxes can be a bit awkward.

5. The chat is either thriving or silent

Make sure to send your chats to the right person, too.

6. Googling if other people can see if you’ve pinned their video

(They can't.)

7. Fun backgrounds

The latest green screen technology has never been more accessible.

8. Wearing pajama pants on the bottom

The duality of business casual and comfortable sleepwear should be the next fashion trend!

9. Checking out everyone’s house decor

Huh. Professor Smith has some nice wallpaper.

10. Staring at yourself the whole time

And finding your best angle, of course.

11. When someone leaves and everyone gets the notification

"Sorry, my WiFi cut out."

12. The pause when you enter a breakout room

Everyone's on mute. Who will be the first to speak??! The tension is astounding!

13. Waving goodbye, leaving the room, and immediately leaving your computer

Zoom fatigue is real, so don't forget to rest your eyes after staring at a screen for a long lecture!

14. Setting up the Zoom links and passwords for your next class. 

And get ready to do it all over again.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
