Anybody else literally learning jack shit in college right now cuz its all online? Shit is literally cheese, for the low price of 14.99 a month, I get A's in all my classes but im not learning anything, kind of nervous to go back in person i kinda forget how to be a student.
CaseyI spent the first few years of my higher education buying books from the bookstore like a heel and selling my 200 dollar books back for 10 dollars
Books are such a waste of money, they say we use them everyday and then we’ll literally never need it

Yeah by the time I got the Chegg thing down I would be like oh book list, fuck that shit I’ll have it shipped when I actually need to read something out of it. Calling that bluff

Got most of my text books for free via pdfs on the interwebs.

This is for sure the way to go. Some kid in my mech E program spent his spare time compiling PDFs of all the textbooks required for the degree then uploaded them to Dropbox and mass shared them with everyone he knew. By the end of the semester every student in the mech dept had access to what he called ‘The Bible’. Not all heroes wear capes.
Went to an engineering school for forestry. All the engineers had it easy. Just go on chegg and get A's. There wasn't jack shit on chegg for forestry so I actually had to learn.
Fucking bullshit

I can relate to that. I remember 1 month ago, back when I started going to college in person, I forgot how to be a student. It's been 1 and a half years being online, and everything seemed easy and unusually unnecessary. It seems like a switch because the environment seems so important and the material so necessary. Thankfully, I went to a college miami.asa.edu where we had support from our teachers for the first 2 weeks to adapt to the new regime. They went easy and helped us prevent our "online issues." And, yeah, it was pretty hard initially, especially waking up early!
Currently getting my bachelors online and I am learning quite a bit with online classes.
Chegg is great but it's up to you to actually apply yourself. Maybe talk to a counselor, your frustration with education is merited given the state of the world and it's affect on your college experience.
