Texas Tech Begins Spring 2021 Semester With Many Classes Online

When I registered for courses for the upcoming spring semester, I was very happy about how many courses were online.

As a full-time job, working as a 9 to 5 year old adult, it is impractical or even impossible for me to work on campus. Someone told me that due to my major and minors, I might not be able to avoid having to take certain classes in person, but here we are. I am about to graduate, and I haven’t set foot in campus for several years, just to re-register and see

. (By the way, this is amazing.)

I understand that this expansion of TTU online products is largely due to

A pandemic, but I am here to celebrate this glimmer of hope. I hope other non-traditional students will also benefit from it.

I can't imagine that in his early twenties, if he didn't completely eliminate most of his social life, his life would be frustrated. I am sorry for the children who must feel that they missed the traditional university experience. However, I want to remind them gently that the traditional experience also includes riding in square feet in one of the largest campuses in the world, and it can be a strenuous thing as early as April. I vividly remember my first missed flight, which included breathing into the worst seat of a huge lecture hall full of armpits. This is not a cute look.

Therefore, I am here to celebrate sitting down on my sofa to learn coffee, holding coffee and pajamas that are invisible beyond the camera. I would warn any potential online student: To succeed in the difficult online classroom, it takes a lot of self-discipline and time management. Indeed, in the past few years, my skills have developed by leaps and bounds. This is as valuable as other things I have learned.

Dear, whether you are at the desk on campus or on the sofa at home, you are welcome to come back. Even if you are just in a virtual environment, Lubbock will shine the brightest.
