During this sensitive times, people can be different in many ways. Like either keeping active in their own homes, or just doing absolutely nothing.

Then we have those who are sick from the coronavirus, and are just sick of the coronavirus. Especially when you are a student taking on online classes during the time of remote learning.

Preparing for finals can be very stressful and overwhelming, but studying while you’re ill can be a real trial. If you are well enough to hit the textbooks, you can still get in some significant study time while you’re sick. Here are ten tips to stay on top of your studies and recover at the same time:

  1. Go to the doctor and take some medication.
  2. Drink lots of water and eat healthy snacks.
  3. Email your professor if you have to miss a class, or are confused on any assignment.
  4. Get enough rest, but don’t wear your pajamas all day.
  5. Take caffeine in moderation to study and concentrate. 
  6. Divide up your study plans into small, 15-30 minute chunks. 
  7. Do easy tasks that don’t require much thinking or memorizing. 
  8. Try to study in your living room or kitchen to resist sleeping.
  9. Keep your room clean and well ventilated.
  10. Check out your school’s policy on illness.

GET WELL SOON!

Student at Broward College for the past five years, first enrolled on Davie's Central Campus learning Physical Therapy for two years than, transferring to Coconut Creeks North campus for the last three years, now majoring in Early Childhood / Developmental Education. Spent first year with Her campus Broward as Outreach Director, former president of self-entitled campus friendship club, Sammy's Buddy Brigade, member of the Campus Science Club, and a Broward County local student Ambassador with Best Buddies International. Winner of the Sammy's award for most charity work within the community, and now Vice President of Her Campus Broward. I hope to soon be working at Junior Achievement with the elementary and middle school children, in order to have a well rounded experience! The hope is to one day work with and teach children who have special needs such as myself! Biggest belief and philosophy of life is that, no matter what anyone says you can't accomplish in life, I am living proof that anything is possible! Having ADHD, high functioning Autism, and medical conditions such as Scoliosis, helps me to understand special needs children on a level that very few people can! It is this very knowledge that led me to choose Teaching as my chosen profession. Now at age 42, and more than 55% on the way to getting an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, I hope to become an Assistant Teacher within the next year or so. We hope that this true life story will inspire others to never give up either, no matter what anybody says, or tells you, that you can't do, the only one who can truly hold you back is "YOU".
