How are y'all doing?
Now that the winter quarter is almost ending, how have y'all been doing in terms of everyday feelings and motivation? It feels like every day in quarantine is the same, so what do you do to make every day the best?

Re: How are y'all doing?
this is such a cute post. my motivation is lacking lately but I have to remember that I'm paying for my education so might as well try my hardest. In general I am feeling excited for the future. With the announcement that dorms are opening at 75% capacity in the fall I m excited to hopefully move in and actually be on campus! How are you?

Re: How are y'all doing?
I'd been feeling pessimistic about school recently, but I recently decided that I want to double major so I'm excited to start learning something new :) I usually walk to campus when I'm feeling down or just watch some TV to relax.

Re: How are y'all doing?
it's definitely been tough with increased screen time too as finals come up- it makes it a lot more exhausting having to rely so much on devices for learning, but I've been going on drives and doing my workouts to take breaks whenever I get the chance! also spring break coming up is definitely motivation in addition to things looking up for in-person in the fall :)

Re: How are y'all doing?
Hi! Winter quarter definitely struck harder than I thought it would have, but I'm just hanging in there, hoping that I can actually be able to change my pessimism of the final coming up. Thank you for asking! I hope you're doing good right now :) Good luck on finals!

Re: How are y'all doing?
This quarter definitely went by so much faster than the last one! One thing I started in January was those little "one second every day" videos so keeping that up motivates me to do something fun everyday like go on a walk or get food or at least leave my apartment so that it's not the same clip everyday haha

Re: How are y'all doing?
I feel so burnt out. I've lost motivation for schoolwork, class, exercising, really everything. I'm at the point where I just want the quarter to end rather than feeling motivated to do my best.

Pretty burnt out, not gonna lie. To motivate myself, I always remind myself that we'll all be back on campus soon!

I have been studying a lot lately, so I'm definitely exhausted :( I'm glad that the quarter is almost over.

Re: How are y'all doing?
For me, March went by extremely quickly. I blinked and now it's finals lol. Overall, I would say I am a 7/10. Studying has been a bit of a drag, but honestly, I'm just excited for a break at this point. Also, I definitely agree with the comments about burnout.

Re: How are y'all doing?
There is so much to do this week but being productive is so hard. But I'm keeping myself going by reminding myself that I just have to get through this last week and then I can actually enjoy my free time.

It's been tough. Life has been hard, but nothing I can't handle. Hopefully.

Re: How are y'all doing?
Honestly, this quarter has been the hardest one yet, but I'm pretty sure Winter quarter in general is the hardest of the year because I was sorta feeling this way last year (except now its even worse because of covid). The one year anniversary of leaving school last year is making me kinda sad and I'm pretty stressed about this final, but I'm trying to push through until break. Hope everyone is doing well :) We're almost done!

Re: How are y'all doing?
Hi! Thank you for posting this. It has definitely been a challenging quarter, but I am really looking forward to break and spring quarter, as well as hopefully moving in in the fall! Something that helps me is taking small moments out of my day to do the things I love most, like hanging out with my dog or listening to music or cooking. I am sending strength and confidence and good vibes to everyone and I know we can do it! Good luck on all your finals :)

Re: How are y'all doing?
I try to take a few hours before my classes to eat, shower, and relax. After classes, I work hard until midnight to make sure I feel productive. Usually, I take one day out of the week and do whatever I want as a reward.

Burnt out. Feel like I am constantly running out of time. Other than that ... excited for spring break :))

Re: How are y'all doing?
I'm stressed, this quarter was not the best. I've never felt so unmotivated in school before. I try to relax by playing with my dogs and by taking a break with work but spring break will be a welcome rest.

Re: How are y'all doing?
I am feeling very overwhelmed but I am trying to push through day by day, I guess my main motivator is be able to relax during spring break!

I feel like I lost all motivation this quarter, but I'm taking less classes next quarter so I hope everything goes well.

Re: How are y'all doing?
Since finals are just around the corner, I'm not feeling stressed per say, but I have definitely kicked into a different gear in terms of studying. I don't want to dwell on how important my exams are so I'll just go about this just like any other exam. Other than that I'm chilling. How are you feeling?
Re: How are y'all doing?
I've been trying to stay motivated by switching up my study spots and facetiming/zooming with friends to study together but its so difficult to keep my energy up at the end of the quarter tbh )-:
Re: How are y'all doing?
I am very stressed and burnt out now, but I still take more courses next quarter to challenge myself :(

Re: How are y'all doing?
I am super unmotivated. I haven't been as stressed as I was last quarter with finals, but maybe that will change the day before the final LOL.

Re: How are y'all doing?
I have been doing alright. I definitely have been feeling unmotivated and I am hoping that having a relaxing spring will help me feel better and more prepared for the spring quarter. I hope everyone has a fun and safe spring break. Good Luck to everyone in their final!

Re: How are y'all doing?
This is the most unmotivated I've ever been. It honestly worries me, but this quarter is ending soon, so there is some light at the end of the tunnel! Hopefully we all can have a fresh, strong start with Spring quarter. I also feel like things are looking up with COVID, so hopefully we can all go on campus next school year :))

I have an essay due in less than 6 hours that I've barely worked on and homework in 5 that I barely understand. Yeah, to be honest I'm not doing well right now :(

Re: How are y'all doing?
My motivation in terms of academics is fortunately still fine but I'm mentally and emotionally so exhausted. This quarter especially the isolation of quarantine has really gotten to me and I feel so socially deprived, it hurts and is such a drain. I hope y'all finish this quarter strong.

Burnt out completely but so so happy that spring break is here. Kind of getting war flashbacks of having to leave campus around this time but happy that I made it through. Very Blessed, Remember to count your blessings!

I was definitely less motivated this quarter than last quarter, but I was still able to make it through somehow. Hopefully next quarter I'll find an incentive to work harder.

Kind of stressed and tired. I’m really looking toward finals being over so I can take some time to relax and sleep.

I am glad that Chem final was over so that I don't have to worry about it anymore, otherwise I'll be so stressed out on finals week.

Re: How are y'all doing?
Don't know why but winter quarter was way more challenging than fall quarter. It was just difficult to find enough motivation to work on school stuff but like someone mentioned, we're kinda basically paying for our education so you can't exactly slack off. It's also depressing knowing I spent more time doing online school than in person school. But I can't wait to return back to campus and have things fall back into place.

Re: How are y'all doing?
I am really happy the chemistry final is over with. I have two more and then I'll be finished, so I'm still stressed out and ready to be done with this quarter. Even though I made sure to get ahead of the chemistry (last quarter I fell way behind), I still think I could have done a better job at time management. It's been a tough quarter, but I can't wait til we are finally allowed back on campus so I can get in the right headspace.
Re: How are y'all doing?
I have been up for the past 48 hours trying to catch up on all my assignments. It has definitely been a long and tough quarter, but hopefully I finish soon.
