"It’s not about how bad you want it. It’s about how hard you’re willing to work for it."

Hey guys, in this blog we will discuss 'Back to Offline studies.' Before getting deep inside the topic, let's first get an insight into what is online and offline education.

Online Education :
Online education is learning via online classes as per the convenience of the students and teachers in their personal space with no intervention from the outside world.

Offline Education :
It is the traditional learning system where students and teachers have face-to-face learning and experience things lively.

I guess most of the people who are reading this blog are students who have got more than a year of experience in Online Studies and of course offline studies.

And we all know how online studies were much more convenient and stress-free than offline studies but honestly asking was there any actual learning, no? And that's why offline education is more beneficial and important than online. Though it's hard, time-consuming and stressful, we should work hard. We had enjoyed about 2 years without actually learning, but now it's our time to make our first name enough.

Here are some tips on how to be productive:

✏Don't work for more than an hour at a time.
✏Establish a routine.
✏Move your muscles.
✏Appreciate your minor achievements.
✏Take a walk.
✏Eat and sleep well.

Some useful apps :

Notion- The best productive app to keep you on your goals, I have been using it for quite some time, and I am in love.

Minimalist - Study timer, to keep you focused on studying. It always warns you when you use other apps and gets you back onto your goal, which I think is very useful as I literally get distracted every 10 mins.

Feyn - Flashcard app, it's easy to organize and can easily be used to take notes and also can draw diagrams. It's an easy and useful app.

Daylio: For self-reflection and better understanding about yourself.

"You can either experience the pain of discipline or the pain of regrets. The choice is yours!"

Always remember guys, life doesn't every time grace us with second chances,  we should utilize the ones we already have and make the best out of them.
Put your trust in God, work wholeheartedly, and success is not far.

All the best to all sedulous people, we will make it!

Solitude to crowd

Written by Riya (Solely_Pranbir)

Covid has had a heavy impact on the world, the biggest one was by far lockdown. As health professionals work on getting rid of covid, restrictions are easing and many countries are coming out of lockdown.

In lockdown, most households were fairly peaceful and quiet. So, for a lot of us coming out of lockdown will be a challenge. We have grown so used to the peace and quiet of lockdown, and now we go back to busy streets and lots of crowds. Life will never be the same again, that is something true but this isn’t necessarily a negative thing. Think about this - lockdown has made the Earth a better place for nature, it’s more calm and peaceful as there isn’t as much litter around as it used to be, not as much pollution in the air. And, crowds aren't a bad thing either.

Some of you are social butterflies and are feeling ecstatic to be able to meet up with your friends, relatives and colleagues again. Others may’ve preferred the solitude and peace that they had in lockdown, but coming back is definitely a positive thing. Many of you may have a hard time adjusting back into the realm of crowds, even those of you who are extroverts.

But it shouldn’t be something that you have to worry about, as everyone else is sailing in the same boat as you. All around the world, there’s not a single person who hasn’t been affected by the lockdowns. An important thing to remember right now is to KEEP CALM.

Stressed about educational assignments/projects? Worried about what’s in trend right now?
Freaked out due to how you look? Or simply agitated due to the continuous chatter?

Stop stressing and collect your thoughts. Everyone you will be seeing has gone through what you have. They’ve been in a lockdown and most have probably skipped assignments too. They don’t know what’s in trend, though it’s probably nothing as no one goes out nowadays. Most are probably too worried about their own looks to even give a thought about yours.

Everyone has been in lockdown for a while now, and so, it’s natural to feel unusual to hear the buzz of a lot of chatter. Though lockdown has been a great opportunity to bond with your family, it’s also made you accustomed to a peaceful and calm environment. Entering schools, shops and plazas will probably make you feel out of place as they are not the normal you were used to. It will take a while for some people to get used to the new normal  again, but you shouldn’t worry about the crowds as that will only make matters worse. Instead, figure out something that calms or makes you feel relaxed, to deal with the situation.

Covid has undoubtedly been the one of the most popular topics, if not the most, over the past two years and probably will be for a couple more due to the heavy impact it’s left globally. But it is important to remember that each and every person reading this, has in one way or another been affected by coronavirus. So, remember, you’re not alone!

Moreover, Covid-19’s issue had been all over the news approximately for the past two years due to the heavy impact of numerous deaths, loss of close ones and what not? No wonder! In spite of all this we should remember to stay dauntless to face the reality, which never ceases to be kind to us all the time. Every human on this planet was thoroughly affected by the crude virus in one way or the other. So, we are all in this together! Never lose hope.
