Learn Something New During Your Coronavirus Break<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As COVID-19 spreads throughout the United States, college students around the country are being asked to return home. Over 100 colleges have already announced that they are cancelling in-person classes, and many have even closed residence halls in an attempt to contain the virus.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leaves plenty of students sitting at home with a lot more time on their hands. With no more frat parties to attend, what\u2019s left to do?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re stuck at home bored, why not take this opportunity to learn something new? Perhaps you\u2019ve always wanted to learn to speak Korean, or maybe you finally want to learn the basics of computer programming. Maybe you\u2019d like to sharpen your photography skills.
