Navigating The Pandemic

College life has been a different type of challenge this year. As students we are having to navigate the course work as well as learning completely online in come cases. Learning how to keep your time and life organized is a huge piece of being successful during these strange times. 

• Lecture Schedule 
  • Make  sure to make a schedule that has all of your class times organized for the classes you have in person. On this schedule make sure that you schedule time to watch online lectures so that you are not trying to cram a months worth of lectures the night before an exam. 
• Homework Schedule 
  • Dedicate specific time slots for doing the homework for different classes. This allows you to make sure that all assignments get done and no classes get looked over. By having a schedule this allows you to work ahead on work if applicable or to give yourself some free time to do extra studying or to pick up extra free time when you don’t have homework. 
• Extracurriculars/Work Schedule/Free Time
  •  Noting when you have work and clubs or sports can allow you to make sure you have time to have be successful as a student but still have time for doing the things that you want. Making sure that you are doing things other than school work is important otherwise you are going to burn yourself out really quickly. 

Having a schedule does not mean that you have to follow the schedule to a “T” but to help hold you accountable to what needs to get done. Doing this can be helpful in both a time of in-person schooling as well as virtual learning. A schedule can help you feel in control of some of your life if you are stressed from life and school.
