Post 4: How the pandemic have affected my studies

 

The pandemic affected my studies in different ways, some positive and some negative. At the beginning of the pandemic, I began to feel comfortable with the online mode of the university, since I had more time to study because I no longer had to make a two-hour trip to and from the university and also I no longer had the possibility of going out with my friends, my boyfriend or partying on campus, situations that took me a lot of time. But as time went by, I felt bored in class because I didn't have the possibility to discuss with them the contents of the classes or the university life itself, and I didn't have the possibility to enjoy the youthful atmosphere. The latter led me to lose my motivation to study since I considered that there was no point in having classes in front of a screen all day. But I was lucky that this did not affect my grades, I even had a better performance in pandemia, since I studied more and I could watch the recorded classes more than once. In conclusion, I feel that pandemic affected my studies in many ways, but I definitely prefer face-to-face classes and physical contact with my classmates.
