It is no secret that this semester looks a little bit different for everyone. Whether you made your house your campus, or you are in your dorm room with in-person and online classes, here are 4 ways you can make a healthy online classroom that you can effectively get through this social distancing semester.

1. Find a Comfortable Space

When it comes to online classes, it’s important to find a space that’s comfortable for you. Whether it’s your bedroom at home, your dorm room on campus, or just a quiet space between the two, this makes all the difference in how well you can focus on your work.

2. Add Some Cute Decor

I am a firm believer in manifesting your space to be somewhere tailored to you. Adding decorations to your class space will make it much more inviting an you can invent a space that you will want to spend time in. Some of my favorite ways to brighten up my space are lots of string lights, and some of my favorite pictures with my friends.

3. Invest in Organizers

Having good organization is the key to success in online classes. Investing in things like a planner, a desk calendar, colored pens, or my favorite, a white board, can make all the difference in making or breaking your semester. These will help you keep track of all of your assignments, while still keep the cute aesthetic of your space.

4. Put Your Favorite Sweats On

The great thing about online school is that you never have to worry about a cute outfit to impress anyone. Sweater weather is upon us and its time to break out your favorite sweatpants and sweaters. Being comfy during class will make it much easier to focus when you aren’t worried about an outfit that’s cute but irritating to sit in all day. My go to outfit for online class is jogger sweatpants, a cute crew neck sweatshirt, fuzzy socks, and a messy bun (of course!).
