Online classes and motivation

Being on a university campus everyday is what often drove me to work on college stuff, homework and so on. Also, just being on a large, known campus is inspiring. But lounging around at home I'm not motivated enough to give it my all on online classes. Nevertheless, starting a routine during the break and maintaining it throughout the quarantine has given good results. Also it’s good to have a group of friends/classmates to hold each other up on hard times through a group chat, which always prompts for special connections with other classmates, something I've always struggled with.
 A part of what motivates me is being in class and being engaged w/ everything as mentioned before. It might be harder to focus when professors cant see if youre actually paying attention or not, easier to just go on your phone while they're talking. or if their camera is blurry it might not be as easy to focus on what they say cuz we rely on visual feedback. it's been a weird experience but they have been understanding about it as well. Most of the teachers have understood their courses and have simplified the way it works, while still keeping a balance for the work that they request on me and my classmates, which is always appreciated, as being humane in hard times is always a good thing when it comes to teaching.

This movie showcases the obsession of beauty as something toxic and distopic. There's even a theory called Lookism that says that if you look good people will treat you nice your entire life or at least until you lose your looks. It's like racism but ''lookism'', like being racist but not because of your race/skin but the way you look. This theory is absolute bollocks in my opinion and so many young men have created online communities where they straight up ask other men if life is even worth living because their noses have a...
