College Vlog : Struggling w/ Online Classes, Quarantine, Studying & Taking Notes

[@gabrielacastillo721]

It's also been hard for me with all my classes online. My professors are giving us more work than what they normally give us and it's driving everybody crazy. It's like an eternal hell week that doesn't and will not end until we have normal classes again. But the key is to stay organize and remove any temptations and distractions. And remember that if you do the work early you'll have more free time to do whatever you want.

[@brooke_didas]

Love this, thank you! ❤️

[@StrawberryS-vk5my]

the thing is that after you finish your school work you need to study on your own then which is like studying litreally whole day in the same place

[@EllyChang]

This is so true. I’m a med student in korea and we have loads of lectures just thrown at us... but reality is that I can’t concentrate. Let us all get through this🤎🤎

[@vanccia]

My teachers too they drives me so crazy

[@freshcat9312]

omg online class is so hard. we have to stay home all day on the computer and order out i cant take it god help me

[@kaitlynfilms]

Aww, thanks so much for your support girlie it means so much to me. And I'll definitely check out those podcasts. Also, I like true crime too and the Crime Junkie podcast is amazing!

[@marianabucheli5930]

Two queens ❤🌸

[@suzannebegley613]

Brooke blessing us with a video during the chaos 🙌 I agree, adjusting to online courses has been a struggle. We will get through this though! Stay safe 💕

[@brooke_didas]

❤️

[@laurynwillkomm]

your videos keep me sane

[@AlexaPaige]

it’s definitely so hard to focus on schoolwork with everything that’s going on, it just feels so weird. we’re all in this together!! hope you’re staying healthy 💛

[@nicole-pl8ov]

so happy you just uploaded!! i was looking for something to watch

[@brooke_didas]

🥰

[@ashliewbu]

YES. i remember being in college and it being so stressful! I can NOT imagine what students are going through with what’s going on in the world!!

[@luceroramirez2618]

Oh my! Your skin is so perfect! 🤩🤩🤩

[@brooke_didas]

thank you so much omg! 🥺

[@jess1191s]

Just watched this while "getting ready" for the day...So important to have some kind of basic routine at the moment even if it's just getting dressed, brushing your teeth, washing your face etc. Thanks for this vid!

[@okfitasarihana2021]

I feel lucky that my mom got me home last week and I totally relate to you! Being home made me lazier (and I'm already pretty lazy lmao) but at least we got foods at home

[@teresan914]

i feel like some professors are assigning more work than they normally would because of everything going on. some of my friends have mass amounts of assignments for all their classes. one of my friends told me one of her professors said, "... because i know you have nothing better to do." how is that fair?? this isn't our fault. anyway, i would love to see how you take notes. based on your to do list, i'm assuming you're a psychology major, so i would love to see a future career goals or a recap of how your major has been in college or something like that.

[@EminaMuratovic]

Teresa Halina i have like 50 minute classes x3 a week and this one prof assigned 3 hours worth of work for one night...? like okay

[@eire02]

I go to college in the UK (getting ready to go to uni) and since my exams have been cancelled, teachers have been giving insane amounts of work so they have enough grades to work out our grades for university. There’s this sort of hourly rule of “do the same amount of work as you do in class at home”. I sit 12, 70 minute classes (4 for each subject). So I have to do 14 hours of classroom work online and then another 14 hours in my own time. Literally get no time to myself :/ anyway, hope everything calms down with the work and all! Stay safe!

[@EllyChang]

Omg!! So true l!!!!!

[@abenaessah3539]

Hey! My school issued pass/fail on whatever classes we want and it is a lifesaver. I hope Michigan State also does it for you. I love ending my night watching your videos, I get so excited!

[@Jessicalovesbeauty3]

I just came across your channel and I am in love! I know what I'm gonna be doing over my quarantine! Love ur vids!

[@keannaa2793]

loved this video! Could you film a “how I take notes” video? I liked the abnormal psych ch 9 notes montage !

[@quincisvideos3286]

I hope things get better with school and your focus! I hope you stay healthy too! I also love the podcast "as for me and this house"!

[@_Jawa]

I hope you’re staying safe and sane.

[@brooke_didas]

🥰you as well!

[@EllyChang]

Hahaha funny yet sad...but supportive 😂❣️

[@JessicaBurgo]

Stay safe babe! Hopefully everything goes back to normal soon

[@dianamg3248]

I completely understand what you're going through with onlines classes, I feel the same. Today I had my first class online and I literally stopped taking note cause I felt so lost with everything. It's been hard but I've been trying to follow your tips to staying organized and that has helped me. Thank you so much for uploading even in this hard times. I love your videos and stay safe. Love you so much Brooke💕 PD: i don't know if you have time or you feel like it but I'd love if you would go live so we could all chat and get through this together.

[@brooke_didas]

Such a sweet comment, thank you love! I definitely will go live soon! :)

[@wietekedemar476]

I’m also struggling with online classes for Psych at uni. I constantly forget about deadlines and feel like it’s way more work than it used to be. Yesterday i got so much done and the tip i have for that is to give yourself 30m-45m ‘timezones’ to go and study. In that timezone you remove everything like your phone etc and i just put on some music and started getting things done. In the first ‘study timezone’ i wrote down everything i had to do for every class in detail on some paper. Then after that time i could text friends or puzzle. And then after that again 30m-45m of studying in which i knew exactly what to do because of that organizing i did earlier. Hope that helps some of you🤍

[@kenzcanuel1]

Currently doing my online labs while watching this haha. I loved the way you edited this!!

[@itshannahxx3]

I'm struggling so much with doing all online classes. I thought since I've taken a few already that it would be easy but I was so wrong since I'm not at school in the mindset. I desperately am going to rely on my planner. love you

[@jill5006]

Hannah Huff I took a lot of online classes I’m college and hated them omg. They’re so hard to motivate for verse the in person classes

[@ariannexsales]

hi girl :) I love how you uploaded this the second that I submitted my experimental hw for the night haha. I haven't watched the video yet, but I just wanted to say that I can give you tips for online classes!!! I've done my fair share of them already so I'm more than happy to help you out 💙

[@brooke_didas]

Thank you so much love! ❤️

[@sayanisarkar3842]

Your videos are making my quarantine easier.. Take love..stya safe

[@melissasexton3633]

I feel you with online shopping! As a fellow Spartan, I agree that online classes have been tough. I love your channel and hope you stay safe!

[@jodieanderson3305]

Yes I am always putting stuff in cart. Then I change it all the time. Glad I am not the only one.

[@kellythurrott2205]

can you make a video on note taking? yours look so good!

[@laurensowash]

I’ve been setting a schedule for each day which helps me to get more done with online classes and stay active!

[@zafrinrashidu761]

Girl I’m from Boston COME THRU. You’ll love it

[@malinwarja4071]

I really like your videos! A nice everyday inspo

[@Lilidrko]

I know this isn’t possible for everyone but what has helped me a LOT is having my work room apart from my bedroom. Meaning I won’t do Uni work in my bedroom at all so that I associate it with relaxing whilst having the productivity mindset in my other room (office). This other room can literally be any place outside of your bedroom by a window or something so that you can maintain clear thoughts. Just an idea that really works for me xx

[@mayanusskern9311]

haul please when you get the stuff you ordered!!❣️

[@ainhoabergara2021]

I literally can't with all the work the are giving us... 😭😭😭

[@abigailelisabeth]

Where's your planner from?

[@kerryTsong]

Hi brooke, where is your planner from??

[@caitlynnholmesss]

Online classes have been hard for me too. I cannot focus at all while being in my room, it is horrible. Loved the vid and hope you stay safe! 🐥

[@paige__miller]

hope you’re doing well and staying safe! i adore you and your videos

[@JohnJohnVlogs]

[@chandanadhikshita9179]

[@vicky-zx2on]

Your writeing is so pretty!

[@samscottproductions355]

I’m online rn for school too! Super weird! I’m a junior and it’s just so strange with my college town being empty :(

[@jadeperreault6313]

I do struggle so bad with online classes too! This is so different than face to face classes!

[@danielleleblanc4744]

I love the planner notebook you have. Which one is it?

[@KennedyBright24]

Hi! I love this video very motivating! What planner is it that you use? I have a lily pulitzer one but I like the set up of yours!

[@Ajx20]

Brooke i know how you feel,i have been so stress with online school and hw and studying also,its so hard,i rather be in school to do hw then at home

[@verdtorvermon]

Stay safe, inside home. BTW love your videos ✌🏻🔥😋

[@abbymartin8180]

I would 100% recommend getting an iPad to take notes. It completely changes the game and I seriously look forward to note taking because it’s so easy!

[@courtneyalysangaebler3819]

Omg, that French toast looks amazing! Xoxo!

[@brooke_didas]

Thank you! ❤️

[@ashleighnorman4453]

Another great video you are my favorite KZbinr

[@thatssojayah6886]

I love aesthetic 😍😍

[@marakitt3533]

After this video I felt the earge to make a planner and start focusing cause 3 weeks of lock down got me so exhausted and unproductive!Hope you have a nice day! And be careful!

[@yoneshou8272]

🌟 some of the podcasts I listen to are: The real reel by Natalie barbu, Gen Z girl, Manifest by Tori DeSimone, What We Said, Soul Sugar, The Sister Diary and The Teen Life Coach (for advices)

[@jill5006]

I just graduated in December and plan to move to Boston or either somewhere down south once I get certified for my job

[@Kenzie_carroll]

So my plan after school is to stay where I’m at now and work at a local hospital because this town is cheap. Once I save up a little bit of money I honestly want to put some cities in a hat and draw one out and move there.

[@Anjali-pl2bg]

my favorite podcast is crime junkie for sure

[@claudiamardegan7381]

Just wondering, what pens do you use when taking notes!! I like the way you organize your notes and I’m really interested in knowing the pens you use!

[@estherpack378]

I absolutely love your videos and always look forward to them! your videos make my day!!

[@brooke_didas]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@volleyballchik2790]

Do you know where the tray that you have your lunch on is from?? Kindof weird question hahah but it looks like just what I’ve been wanting for my bed!!

[@kennedy.wheeler23]

I haven't been in school since feb 3rd and what helps me is take brain breaks, so once you get one class done take a 10 minute brain break and set a timer for 10 minutes and once it goes off start working on another class

[@alexandrachesnais6980]

To stay focused maybe try setting up an area in your house outside your room to work on stuff. I know this isn't possible for everyone but if you can try that.

[@katielarkin4718]

what editing system do you use for editing your KZbin videos?

[@hanachristiansen6071]

I love your vlogs :) where did you get your sweatpants from? xx

[@tays.bookcase]

[@karalynnlovison4596]

Don’t worry about filling your cart while online shopping 🛍 that’s all I ever do for during this time at home

[@janelyngarcia8]

To pass time I’ve honestly just been online window shopping 😂😭

[@Jacqueline8]

Same, online seems much harder now. My professors are adding more and more work, I am not sure if its because we're home and in quarantine they believe we have all this free time but its getting a bit overwhelming, you know. Online courses was not the solution here in Jersey. I'm in my room most of the day and....its getting tedious....

[@simplysavyyy]

I felt this my English professor is giving more drafts due and expects new drafts of old papers due.... 🙃🙃🙃

[@julianaibarra422]

How long does it usually take you to do notes? Your notes are so beautiful and I try to make my notes aesthetically pleasing like that but it usually takes me such a long time that I feel like I'm wasting time trying to make them pretty.

[@afiakhizar272]

You're so pretty

[@brooke_didas]

ahhh thank you! ☺️

[@michaelaaaliyah98]

I’m currently a senior in college and I’m still struggling to wrap my head around all of this. Good news is we finally got a new date for graduation but none of my friends can go. But as for life after college I honestly have no idea. Normally I stress about this 24/7 (being the Virgo I am) but with this whole virus thing, I’ve kinda turned my focus away from my future. Right now all I can think about is getting through this obstacle, when the future comes I’ll deal with it then

[@jiyamehra4522]

where did you get your water bottle from

[@jessicavidler2112]

Where are your notebooks from?!

[@zafrinrashidu761]

I thought I was the only one who online shops for hours and then have like 50 items in my cart and then never check out. Good to know I’m not alone 😂

[@vanshikachoksi5245]

Which planner do you use

[@CR-ri9gq]

You didn't link the workout😂❤

[@melym48]

They're a new podcast on Spotify called "Unsocial Butterfly" by Julia Kristine who also a KZbinr.

[@aniahollinshead4802]

where are your joggers from?x

[@anastasia7966_]

Omg we get the same coffee at Starbucks 😊

[@kattynavarroz6439]

I'm about to start law online school, hope I get motivated to do it hahaha 🐥 Stay safe girl!!!

[@rafaelaazeredo1825]

I definitely love Kalyn's coffee talk podcast, and manifest by Tori de Simone. You should check them out

[@anniemiller1497]

Hey, by the way your workout isn't listed in the description

[@CR-ri9gq]

What job do u plan on doing after college?

[@torischerle]

Our school is giving us the option to pass fail for what courses you want so it doesn’t negatively affect your gpa

[@BriMaccc]

i take ipad notes and i love them!!!

[@DenielleMae]

Love your videos :)

[@juliatremtsidis5284]

where did u get ur beige sweatpants?

[@SarahSchneider2]

I would love if my school did the pass/fail thing. We started a student petition that has about 1,200 signatures. I go to community college in Michigan so I think that's a decent amount for a smaller school.

[@BrookeAndrews679]

Sarah Schneider Same! We started one too (in Canada). Fingers crossed 🤞🏻.
