With Covid cases booming currently (10,000+ per day here) I doubt we'll ever return to school this year, meaning my whole senior year will be entirely virtual. For a lot of students this may come as a disappointment, especially seniors, however aside from the deaths caused by Covid, I could not be more grateful for this year. Online school may be different and problematic, however it has also been a huge mental relief. Over the past few years the daily process of work and a commute to school that requires a consistent sleep schedule has been bogging me down, whether or not I'd like to admit it. However, now that school is entirely online I've been given the opportunity to work whenever I want, meaning my sleep schedule can be whatever it needs to be, and while Wellness Wednesdays are a nice break, they are often the day most responsible for breaking my sleep schedule if any. Aside from Wednesdays though, being able to work whenever I want has helped to reduce the stress of due dates and assignments that can only be worked on in class, as many assignments can be done outside of class nowadays. It would be ignorant to only consider myself though, I'm sure many seniors or really students in general are disappointed that they won't be able to see their friends at school all year long. Though I'm equally sure they all understand how important it is that we stay home if we want to mitigate the damage from this pandemic. Either way I know this is a historic few years for the education industry and really the world as a whole, I'm not really concerned about what we've already lost in terms of school and socialization, but rather I worry about what we will lose in the future. How long exactly will school be online for? At some point my sleep schedule is going to hit me back for all of my all-nighters and wacky reversals of what time I go to bed. While I may be enjoying school right now I worry about the future of all of our education.
