Students, how do you feel being back on campus? Nervous? Happy? Scared?

Don’t worry, many kids feel that way, so you aren’t alone. Here at Edison, I’ve been asking around to see how people felt about being back on campus. They all felt the same way about one thing and that is missing campus. There are multiple reasons for them to miss being back in school. Some to see friends and/or make friends, and others enjoyed school with all the learning and stuff. Anyways I asked other questions of course and here is what some people think.

Most students are happy to be back to see their friends and again make friends. I asked my friend Zaki (a freshman) how she felt about school and the people in it. She said the people she once knew aren’t the same and that is very understandable since we basically weren’t in school for 2 years, she was kind of upset with the fact that she didn’t get to see that change in people. With my other friend Audrey P., she just feels comfortable being in school, well except when some kids in class start coughing, but I think we can all agree with that fact. She is also a freshman and her first day was a bit scary for her, but she was also happy to see faces she might have not seen in a while, she was glad we went back to at least a semi-normal school life.

Other people I spoke to said the same thing about online school. That it was hard since they were more of a hands-on type of person. Some said they learned nothing from it, and can we be honest, we all know we cheated with some things. But it’s true I don’t think students learned as much with online school, but I get that the district was still trying to have students learn while being quarantined because of covid. Now we are on campus and there is multiple things that we can do, like clubs and sports also leadership. Students have already joined sports like volleyball, football, water polo, and tennis. For students who are doing sports or joining clubs, how is school going for you?

Well for the most part students seem to be happy or okay with being in school. And I think I can speak for some students, that being back in school is better than being online since it was also difficult for me. The only good thing about being online is that there weren’t tons of distractions, well except if you have siblings that you find annoying because…same.
