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.

The ''thinking in English'' dilemma and English Teachers and their obsession with British accents.

English teachers always tell us that we should acquire this level where we hear our inner thoughts in English and where we even dream in English, and many classmates throughout my school years have disagreed with this thought. I find myself to be a strong supporter of this, though. As it has helped me amazingly with my own monitoring of errors and what not, my English is not 100% perfect, of course not. But I'm not afraid of being confident and saying that I think my English is astounding, I'm tired of hearing my classmates being cruel with themselves and saying that their English is garbage, it's like dude, how about you actually become proud of your level of English, and understand that nobody really cares about your level when you talk to them? Unless you're a true beginner who doesn't care about learning the language you shouldn't be worried. I'm sick and tired of the barriers people put on themselves but this is because English teachers do not make a sp...

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...

Earning Money Online

This quarantine has showed me a huge opportunity on working online as people all around the world are stuck in their homes and still have to get work done or satisfy certain needs, which prompted me to expand my little proof-reading freelancer work with a few people into the site Fiverr.com So far I have earned quite a few dollars from that site and from proof-reading a variety of different works in English, it's always flattering to receive requests from people in need as I'm a second-language learner, but it's usually also second-language learners the ones who come for my help. The fun part of making money online is the realization of getting to learn how free-lancing works and how hard, but rewarding and motivating it can be. Besides that, you get to connect with others and create interesting friendships which can produce business oportunities. It's so important to realize that there's millions of people competing with you, but that there's also thou...
