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.

Lookism.

Recently I watched a movie called The Neon Demon that showcases a society where people only care about you if you're good looking, it's quite gory and tragic but it has a really interesting take on this topic that people seem to ignore for the sake of being a good person. When in reality, there's nothing wrong with talking about it, and in fact, it could help people who feel insecure about themselves, if done correctly. 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...

Procastination and what it means to me.

To procastinate, means not to care about consequences, not to care about the future, to explore fantasies, daydreams, and distractions as there's always a lingering fear in the procastinator, this growing fear of confronting, of creating, of working, making an effort. In my case, I find it destructive how my brain makes me absolutely afraid of getting things done in time, and when the time comes, I feel extremely regretful and instantly feel like I should've done things earlier, or with more time. It's ridiculous, it even sounds like an excuse. Unfortunately, I think procastination is not only laziness, there's something deeper there, for me it's just the fact that I've spent most of my life daydreaming and filling voids with fantasies and self-indulgent activities that rarely materialize into productivity, and even when they do, they don't really do much for my professional life. This habit of fantasizing roots from childhood traumas and lack of good pa...

Crushes on teachers.

Warning: contains curse words and NSFW topics. Today's mini-topic is a little informative and preventive thread about students feeling attracted to a teacher or professor while in college. (maybe a little pointless , but thought It'd be fun to write) It is an undeniable fact that the way attraction works doesn't limit itself to people outside of work or school, absolutely not. Even if you have a girtlfriend or a boyfriend ( doesn't mean you'll do anything about it, though, well, depends on who you are ) The human brain doesn't give a rat's ass about boundaries, so feeling some type of attraction to a professor is not uncommon for the typical college student looking for some action. Anyways, what should we do as teachers if we encounter one situation like this with a student who clearly likes us? Well, the answer is obvious. Never respond to any of your student's flirtatious attitudes towards you, no matter how tempting. It can go r...
