Survive a whole day of classes
This doesn’t have to apply to just a full day of classes, but also early classes, long single classes and possibly boring classes.
Make sure you bring a bottle of water. You’re going to crave it
If it’s early in the morning, I suggest getting a travel mug for morning coffee or tea so you don’t end up paying for such a thing every single morning.
Make sure to bring a portable charger or just a charger if you have a place to plug it in. It’ll make sure that you have some battery left by the end of the day.
If you usually use a laptop during classes, if it’s a whole day of classes, figure out some when you could easily use pen and paper to let your eyes rest.
Bring food, some snacks. If you have time to go out and get something proper to eat, do it, but if not snacks or a pre-prepared lunch are always great.
Use the breaks to their max. Not just to go to the bathroom or change the classroom/lecture hall, but to also rest your mind a little.
Play a little game or something that will distract you during those breaks, especially in between different types of classes.
If you don’t have to be at the lecture, it’s alright sometimes to miss the last ones, especially if you’re extremely tired or don’t feel well.
Otherwise try to stay till the end. It always pays of, and who knows, maybe there won’t be many of you and the professor decides to give you bonus points.
You don’t have to stress about writing everything down when your so tired, just try to pay attention as much as you can.
When you have early classes, prepare everything the night before.
If you have lectures all throughout the day, but have 1-2 hours of breaks between them, use those times to eat a proper meal or to read a book. Don’t focus too much on classes unless you really have to.
Don’t carry too much stuff with you on such days because it’ll feel ten times heavier by the end of the day. Just carry the most essential things.
Read up on materials for the classes, especially those later in the day. When you’re tired it’ll be harder to pay attention, but understanding a few things before hand will help.
If you want to really pay attention to class, try not to sit close to those that cave into boredom or fatigue and aren’t able to pay attention so they do distracting things.
It’s also good to sit with someone that is also determined to pay attention so you can exchange things you’ve accidentally missed.
Bring your headphones because if it’s a class where you have to do practical work, music or podcasts or TED talks could keep you awake.
In the warmer seasons, make sure to bring something to put on if it gets cold in the evening.
Deodorant and wet wipes (and other essentials) will help you freshen up.
At the end of the day, make sure you’re get your rest, both mental and physical.
