Online class tips for those who hate online classes:
Get blue light blocking glasses if you can. Or sunglasses. They will help eye strain and headaches
Actually listen to lectures and pay attention
Try doing classes when you normally would in person
Textbooks! They are great to help
Take notes during lectures. Treat online lectures like an actual in person class.
Don’t sit in bed all day. Be active. It helps you focus when you actually sit down for class.
Listen to the lectures outside if you can!
Start a drinking game with your friends in the class
For people like me who are super anxious and hate talking in class, this is a perfect opportunity to participate and ask question without being in the spotlight
Get cute stationary. You aren’t spending on gas and eating out so invest in some cute stationary!
Reach out to your virtual communities for help and interaction, like studyblr
Schedule time to sit and focus on school work
Don’t want to sit still? Desk excercises!
Mentors and people in the field!! Find them and email them!
Make your notes into art and hang them around
Have nerdy conversations with the people lucky enough to be stuck with you
Write notes in a foreign language you want to learn
Clean your room so it’s suitable for education
Learn that you can cus out your teachers now and they can’t hear you
See if you can download lectures as mp.3 files so you can listen instead of staring at a screen
It’s ok to cry during class
Sit somewhere with a wall that you can blank out at when your eyes get tired
Playlists for classes to play when doing work
Cold, damp rags work wonders for hurting eyes and headaches. Lay back, close your eyes, put the rag over your eyes, and maybe nap
Burn some incense to add liveliness to a boring class
Everyone will love if you send pictures of your pets
Keep snacks and water nearby you during class to avoid getting up and leaving
Print out materials if you can
Get ahead when you can. Do things early. I have a friend who has already finished her classes a month early
Study break where you don’t use electronics or read
Make sure you charge everything over night
Treat it like actual class
Tests are probably open book so organize those notes!!!
Don’t want to do work? Just do 10 minutes of it
