I may just be speaking from a position of privilege though, as I have no problem with remote learning. I'm proficient at using a computer and it's basically an extension of myself at this point.

God I love Linux.

Accidentally touching the lenses in your glasses when trying to push them up is one of the things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I love running on 3 and a half hours of sleep up to midnight the next day for no reason whatsoever.

Having headphones break on you right before you leave your home is one of the worst things ever.

Right below finally using those dollar store earbuds you bought "in case of an emergency".
