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

Get your pets involved!

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

Reward yourself!

Schedule time to sit and focus on school work

Dress up! Be dramatic!

Don't want to sit still? Desk excercises!

Mentors and people in the field!! Find them and email them!

Make bets with yourself

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

Educational podcasts

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

Stretch breaks

Playlists for classes to play when doing work

Naps are valid

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

CALENDARS

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

If you subscribe to Quizlet, you can also keep track of your learning.
