Cassie Carlson, Youngstown State University

For Youngstown State freshman Cassie Carlson, college has been a mix of remote learning and in-person classes. And for her, things seem to be going very well. 

“The hybrid classes are pretty nice. I go in once a week for class, then the next day that I would normally be in class, we have an assignment due. It’s nice because we have a day for a lecture and a day to practice,” Carlson said. 

Carlson is attending school on an athletic scholarship for softball. The fall softball season was canceled, but she and her teammates are hoping for a full spring season.

“We are unsure of where and when games are going to happen, and we won’t be playing any schools until things are figured out,” Carlson said.
