Dear Hybrid Learning,

In September, when you came into my life, you changed it drastically. You were the only one there to help me and many others come back to a somewhat “normal” life. I finally got to go back to school and see my teachers and friends whom I hadn’t seen in person since March. I didn’t have to spend every day tied to my desk at home, staring at a computer screen, and stuck for yet another day with all of my family. You’ve lasted longer than I think most people expected. We all never thought you would stick around this long without Corona taking over, but you surprisingly have. Some might thank you for this, but I am at a breaking point. I can no longer thank you.

Hybrid, this has gone on long enough. At first I really thought you were the best thing that could ever happen to me. But I was definitely wrong. You are so indecisive you can’t even pick whether I should be at school or online. Every 2 days you switch things up on me. It is way too much to keep up with and I’m beyond sick of this. As happy as I am to see my friends, I am also furious. You got my hopes up that I could be social again, yet I only get to see a select group of people. I only get to see the people I got grouped with, whether I’m close to them or not. You are not only indecisive, but you’re also toxic for getting my hopes up. I could give you many examples of when you got my hopes up. I thought going back to school would make everything go back to normal, but no. I still have to sit at home when I’m online tied to my desk at home staring at a computer screen and stuck with all of my family. Even on the days when I go into school, I am still doing work on a computer. But that’s not enough! There are so many Wi-Fi problems that happen when I’m at home and at school so I can’t even learn to the best of my ability without my computer breaking down or accidentally leaving a meeting and missing a class.

In case you couldn’t tell, WE ARE DONE. You need to make up your mind. Stop controlling me and don’t lie anymore. I know Valentine’s Day is coming up, but I just couldn’t wait any longer. Leave and get out of my life. We are done, Hybrid. It’s over.

Sincerely,

Sarah O’Moore
