Help planning my degree

[ss20ts]

I have a MacBook that I've used a second monitor with, it's definitely beneficial for productivity to have multiple monitors and I didn't find any issue with using a second monitor with a MacBook. If you're just lounging around the house on like a couch or something, then sure a second monitor is a bit of a hassle. Also, no one said you need 2 monitors, but it is very helpful and monitors are cheap enough to get that it doesn't break the bank.

How and where do you plug in a monitor on the M1 chip MacBooks? Why they removed all but 1 of the ports makes no sense.....especially since the 1 port is now usb c which isn't common.
