✨ positive things about online school ✨
I’m absolutely dreading the upcoming semester because, for me, it’s going to be all online :( so as a way to hopefully make things better I’m making a list of all the positive aspects of online school
recorded lectures mean that you can listen at your own pace
you can pause, rewind, fast forward lectures, you will be able to understand lectures better, learn at your own pace, and not miss any details
my commute time is usually 80 min to and from school on a good-light-traffic day, now that I don’t have to travel to campus I can dedicate that time to sleeping in, studying, or anything else
walking around campus there’s always some yummy food place and that little voice in my head going “treat yourself”, I hope to take this opportunity of being at home to try out new recipes and eat healthier
although I love studying at the libraries on campus, almost all the washrooms are a health hazard in themselves, so it’s going to be nice to use my own washroom at home
taking naps in the middle of the day
I do this during a normal semester but on an abandoned bench or like in class, and I probably end up on someone’s snapchat story with the caption “school got me like” so it’ll be nice to take a nap whenever I want on my own bed
having to get up early and put on “presentable” clothing and/or layers upon layers for harsh winter days can be very uncomfortable and sometimes just exhausting, so I’m looking forward to staying cozy and comfy in PJs
listening to lectures on my bed
I’m always complaining about how uncomfortable lecture theatre chairs are and how great it would be if I was able to listen to lectures from my bed…I guess my wish came true
my biggest fear for online school would be feeling demotivated and detached resulting in falling behind and not completing the school work I need to, I know this upcoming semester I really have to level up my self-discipline game
please add what you’re looking forward to if you’re going to be doing school online in the upcoming semester and also what you’re most scared of or dreading
wishing the best of luck to everyone starting school soon!
