Struggles of Online Classes

Heya! Guys.

I hope you all are doing well and these online classes are not getting on your nerves.
So far, I heard so many people ranting about online classes and their challenges.
But experiencing it is a whole different aura, I swear. Pursuing a course that is meant to be online is not as daunting as shifting the whole college semester online, it's horrible because it's possible to slip out on minor details. You probably won’t forget about the midterm exam or 10-page paper, but it’s easy to overlook small, routine assignments. To be honest, I get this very feeling every once in a while as an online student.
So, In order to overcome this feeling that might drag me down, I started a habit of making a proper to-do list and keep a regular check on it, in order to accomplish things wisely. Also, synchronising your time table with Google calendar is the best way to stay notified.

Now, moving to the crux of the matter that is "SELF- MOTIVATION". In an online environment, we are our own boss and we are given a lot of freedom. It can be both a blessing and a curse. We need to be self-motivated because we are not surrounded by our peers or instructors leaning over our shoulder holding us accountable, unlike real classroom. It's just the four walls of the room and chances of zoning out is maximum.
To avoid such possibilities start tracking your progress which is really necessary to enhance self-confidence. Also, stop pondering unnecessarily over something, not like your world will fall apart if something bounces over your head.
Well, well I'm no expert but a young student looking after the ways to overcome such difficulties to navigate through it.

I am not going to talk about technology here because it can fail since you can't rely on it blindly. As I am no Elon Musk, I don't have a solution for it.
If you have a good network, it's a win-win.

Welcome to the new normal.

Ain't No Damsel in Distress.

You must be thinking she is some female protagonist inspired crackhead going to give you philosophy on life. But I'm someone who believes in fairytales a lot. Unfortunately, the fiction has nothing to do with reality so you need to transform your Cinderella version into Elsa. Because no fairy godmother exists. Sad but true. So we don't need anyone to feel pity for us, look after us, right? We need to create our own happiness.

Waking up to the same thing every single day is quite horrible as we all are in house arrest and it is no step-mum or witch that has locked us this time but our own government! because it's best for us during this chaos. But it's tough too. So, instead of waiting for someone to call or text you to help you out in this lonely time just make way for yourself, because you are no damsel in distress, right?

By the way, a damsel in complete distress was a burden to her protector, so make sure not to be a burden, else you are smart enough.

No offence, I hope none would be taken, but why we want someone to look after us, to take care of our own damn happiness, to create vacancies for us, in short, babysitting us. Can't, we create our own opportunity, can't we stand for ourselves, create our own happiness. Is it that tough?

Just because I mentioned damsel doesn't mean it's just for young women out there, it's for everyone who is in distress at this time, be it any age or gender.

Be happy, stay safe
Love your life.
You are unique and
Yes, YOU MATTER.

Pandemic Away from Normalcy.

This pandemic is no hurricane or wildfire, that it will be time and space confined. It's omnipresent. I don't know why this virus is so obstinate, it's already August. Why can't it leave us in peace? Is 2020 really a catastrophe? Because every other day we get to know something happened somewhere in the world, be it an explosion of Lebanon or gigantic fire of Ajman. Ain't this coronavirus enough?


No one knows that after this coronavirus if we will return to normalcy or will there be new normal. The least we can do is to wish for this pandemic to over soon.
I wonder how this tiny little virus has changed the entire world within no time. How we all are just caged because of this virus.
So somehow "silence is the part of our everyday life" and when this lockdown will end we will miss the extra silence we've had, says Paavo Virkkunen, chief executive of the Finnish tourist board.

The way we live and minding our own business with no other involvement will be missed. Because we "Humans" are very flexible creature and adapt easily according to our circumstances.
We adapted to hustle and bustle of our surroundings and the civilisation of our society as we are not living this life since the stone age.

 Of course, this sudden worldwide lockdown lefts us obnoxious and anxious and whatnot, but we somehow adapted to this "period of quietness".

And I think there will be an adverse reaction to the return of noise – not just greater annoyance, but less efficiency at work, in education, in our sleep, as well as more chronic effects.

I have no bad intentions I just want every one of us to be prepared because post-pandemic will not walk in the park. Once this pandemic will end and things will fall into place, that will be the time we will realise, were we really just" Pandemic Away from Normalcy"!


Only If My Words Had Wings.

If my words had wings. It could have swayed from autumn to springs and could have carried my messages of the lonesome sights, to the clouds ...
