I’m trying to understand them a bit better, but it’s just not clicking for me. How is it able to operate like a physical computer and what is the benefit of that? Would you be able to say write an essay for your English class on a VM, save it there, and access it at a later time?

Virtual computers are used a lot. If you want to get started you can try installing a different Windows version or a Linux distribution just to try it out without changing anything in your regular OS. If you want to use some software package but you don’t want to install it as it comes with a lot of crap, install it on a VM and delete it when you’re done. Make a new VM you only use for online banking if you fear spyware or viruses. Want to try running a Minecraft server? Practice on a VM! Ruin the install? Roll back to a snapshot you took earlier. Have a game that only works on Windows XP? Run XP on a VM and game on that.
