AND/OR A NUMBER.
 From the very beginning, we hear that humans are social beings who cannot live without other 
 people but during the pandemic, we learnt different things. In order to survive, we saw that we 
 could live isolatedly, so there are many things we could do by ourselves. For knowledge 
 achievement, we took part in online classes and registered for other online courses. After the 
 pandemic, people can live more independently and have better life skills. Students are able to use 
 online tools in learning. Some students are used to online classes, and they even prefer this kind of 
 class over traditional classes because they can do whatever they want during in-class time. This is 
 undoubtedly having a negative impact on their studies. However, online classes are beneficial if 
 students learn seriously. Many students have made progress in their learning despite attending 
 online classes. In short, the pandemic brought unexpected consequences to people’s lives; 
 however, it helped us explore our potentials and understand ourselves better.
