I think back to my sophomore year of college when the switch to online learning first happened; everything felt so strange and disconnected, and the pressure on those proctored finals was immense. I vividly remember being overwhelmed by a statistics class and honestly going down the rabbit hole looking for services that could literally take my online exam just to save my GPA, which is a desperate thought I know many students have had during stressful times. Thankfully, I reached out to a study group instead, but that moment of desperation really sticks with me as a reflection of how challenging the whole remote educational structure was for a lot of people, and how easy it is to feel completely isolated when facing major academic hurdles.
