Quarantine and Chill

Journal entry 1
Quartatine life is hard. All of us are in college without the actual experience of going to college. After a while, class started becoming a routine in a good way. But with that routine comes the lack of motivation to actually do the work being assigned, which makes actually doing the work feel harder than it actually is. Other than that, online classes were not really different from normal classes, I got more breaks though.
I don't normally consider myself somebody who gets nervous when showcasing themselves, but I definitely felt like that some of the time especially when presenting my work. This was also supported by the barber shops being closed. It was really hard to stay focused, but I had this app that would block certain social media so I could stay focused, but it wouldn't really work as effectively because then I would just walk around. Setting more than enough time to do something works really well because I like to procrastinate, so I like to trick myself with due dates.
One day, your life can change in a second, and it's important to try and not get too overwhelmed and keep moving forward.
