Our world is a consistently evolving place, and there’s no telling how technology will affect our future. So, as a society, it might be best to accept it and learn how it can help us.
Growing up in the boom of technology, college students have come to know the changing landscape of school and work. Whether it be the regularity of weekend exams, 11:59 p.m. deadlines or last-minute emails, the way current students interact with school is severed from the “good ol’ days” — weekends and breaks absent of homework — preached upon by elders.

On the first day of class, I was ecstatic to finally put the iPad to use. Thanks to the tools available with the Apple Pencil, I made color-coded notes for all of my classes with perfectly straight lines and dashes. The only issue I ran into was professor preference.

I understand you’re probably tired at 8 a.m. and would rather scroll on Instagram than talk to the person next to you, but the effort is so worth it.
