For those of you in school...

No.QuarterI’m so glad that I’m not a student during this. Like 75% of my coursework my final semester was hands on and lab based and I definitely would not have succeeded otherwise

little1337Tip number one is have a space set up that you go to do your work at and only do work at, it makes it easier to stay on task and you’ll associate that part of your house with being productive. Also making sure you’re on top of all your assignments and lectures is key because it’s super easy to say to yourself that you’ll watch it later or something and you never do. Staying motivated when you’re the only one pushing yourself is the hardest part and there’s not much you can do besides grind it out

Profahoben_212@Mingg it does suck. I am absolutely horrible with working anywhere other than the library or study rooms and it's killing me. Not to mention that I get to work with my groups through zoom. Oh well.


This is the worst part. 2 of my classes were statistical programing based in a lab where we programmed with the professor etc. Now we can't do that and it got 10 times harder

Young_pattyMy Quarintine daily routine:

12:00 pm- Wake up and shower/ get ready

12:30 pm- make and drink an entire pot of coffee in my kitchen

12:45 pm- begin online school work

3:00 pm- finish school- have a drink

4:20 pm- finish class required readings- smoke a J, have another drink

6:00pm - make din din- have 2 more drinks

7:00 pm- check in on my animal crossing village- finish the 6 pack

9:00 pm- smoke another J and hangout with my roommates- usually switch to hard alcohol by this time

10:00 pm- 2/3:00 am- drink until about to pass out- smoke a chop and then pass out

12:00 pm- wake up again- rinse and repeat.

DIRTYBUBBLEI have no motivation to do anything and it appears that a lot of my teachers feel the same way. I have one maybe two Zoom classes per week but I haven’t gone to any of them and my grades haven’t suffered. My one teacher said fuck it write an essay by the end of April then you’re good bc she was old and didn’t know how to use a computer. My other teachers have assigned 1-2 assignments every 5-8 days with multiple days to complete them. Some of the classmates I’m still in contact with haven’t done anything school related since spring break

little1337Thats kind of how I feel, it's so hard to get motivated I can't seem to stay working for more than like 2 hours at a time because I get so distracted, and I'm actually working about half of that time

MinggSame. I'm in one online class right now so I don't need to do work every day. But when I go to taking 10 classes over the course of the summer this isn't going to fly.

On one hand, like the entire department has the time to plan out the semester now instead of just being thrown into it in the middle like how this all went down in the spring semester. So part of me is worried because like they will have a plan and it's likely not going to be bullshitted. So it's probably still going to be just as hard, probably even harder with the structure change. Super intimidated honestly but I know some people are thriving from the reduced work load that they've gotten lol.

r00kieHave lived at home for tjeclast 2.5 years of college to keep school and home life seperate. Go to class early in the morming and spend the afternoon in tje library doing homework until its done. Go home and not worry about school. Tjis seperation was great until and month ago. Best thing I've found is to set up a desk in the basement away from everything else. Not close to the usual seperation but it kinda works. Also, you are more productive in the mornings so if you can get in the habbit of waking up at a resonable time and getting right to work it helps a ton.

little1337I feel like in some senses it'll be easier. For one all the exams and quizzes have to be open note or you can just google whatever you need to know. I also think that the classes will still be somewhat bullshitted because realistically it isn't that much time until the summer for them to get a full plan in place. Plus all those professors are probably teaching classes right now that they have to keep up with

MinggWe use a monitoring/lockdown browser. So it records a video of you taking the test and will tell your professor if your eyes wander, you read something, or really anything they deem suspicious. So tests will still be like taking them in person unfortunately. You even have to take your webcam and do an evironment check so they can see that you don't have notes or anything accessible lol. It's so extra.

ronders_Put a piece of scotch tape over the webcam so it looks blurry af and say your cameras fucked up. If they complain tell them you’d be happy to have them pay for a new laptop.

how very trad

MinggWhat the fuck are you doing? Like how do you work from home?
I'm about to do an entire academic year in 3 months over the summer and I can't work from campus cause it's shut down. Super nervous, not really great at the whole self discipline thing, especially from home.
So like how and what are you doing since everything is online? Do you guys have a work space set up at home? Do you go somewhere to watch lectures/study? How do you stay cozy and sane in front of a computer for 8-12 hours per day?

Also shout out to everyone approaching finals in the next month. I believe in you!
