Online

2. Since the coronavirus began affecting
the United States, college students all
over the country were forced to leave
campus and begin attending their
remaining classes on the internet, from
the comfort of their homes. This can be
a rather large adjustment, and as of
right now many universities plan on
opening their campuses back up in the
fall, but things could change again
unexpectedly. Attending college
classes from home can be a
difficult experience for myriad reasons,
so here are a few tips to help make
attending college from home a little
easier.

3. It can be easy to lose any schedule you might have had
once you start attending your college classes from home.
You no longer need to wake up early to prepare for the
day or possibly drive to class if you were a commuter.
Instead, you’re likely able to wake up right before class
begins and just do everything from your pajamas. While
this may seem nice, it’s a good idea to try and keep the
schedule you had before. Wake up early and perform any
morning rituals you had when you were still going into
the physical classroom. Eat breakfast, take a shower, and
anything else you may have done. Be sure to keep that
schedule going throughout your day as well.

SCHOOL
SCHEDULE

4. When you’re setting yourself up to attend your classes from
home, be sure you set yourself up in a healthy environment for
getting work done. Try to put yourself somewhere where you
won’t get easily distracted by noises or anything else that may
take you away from your studies. Try to place yourself
somewhere away from the kitchen and television or any other
outside distractions. Or, do the opposite. What’s important is that
you are in an environment that works for you, and helps you
achieve success.

POSITIVE
WORK
ENVIRONMENT

5. Having some sense of normalcy during these times is
always good. One of the best ways to do that is by
keeping in touch with all of your friends from school. Be
sure to talk to them everyday, whether it’s about
school itself or about anything else. Create study
groups or have zoom conferences with everyone so
you can keep in touch with one another. You won’t
regret it.
KEEP IN TOUCH
