As Christmas break came to an end and FHSU started classes back up on Tuesday, Jan. 18, students often felt a mix of excitement and dread about being back on campus. It always requires a lot of adjustment coming back from a long break.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reagin Duesing is a junior English major who feels that being back on campus is challenging.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a little difficult right now just because we have come back to lots of students and professors having COVID, so it kind of feels like we aren\u2019t as present.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With last year being online and having classes on Zoom, and COVID still going about, having this year on campus, and hopefully staying on campus, has made a big impact on the lives of the students.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sophomores who had their freshman year entirely online are getting new experiences with being on campus.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brooke Addleman is a sophomore nursing student and is feeling excited to be back for the semester.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt feels good to have a routine again, over the break I didn\u2019t have a set routine like I do at college. Now I am back on my normal schedule with things,\u201d Addleman said. \u201cI am looking forward to my in-person classes and making new friendships.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt feels pretty good to be on campus rather than online. I don\u2019t learn very well online, but it feels relieving to be back on campus,\u201d said Reed Knitter, a junior marketing major. \u201cIt is a lot harder to pay attention to a screen rather than a professor directly talking at you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked if this semester feels any different than any previous semesters, Knitter said it was a little different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cClasses have been getting harder with less people in them,\u201d he said. \u201cIt feels more individualized than past semesters.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the pandemic continues and in-person classes also continue for this semester, Knitter shares his thoughts on how COVID has affected this semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI feel like it has affected a lot of people this semester, but it seems like people aren\u2019t as attentive to [COVID] than we were when it first started.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regardless, campus is bustling with life again as students return from break ready to tackle the 2022 spring semester.
