Pros and Cons to Taking Online Classes | College Tips with Kenzie

Some of you already know that I am currently on a break from school. I decided to get a job whilst being in the process of transferring. But before that, I was taking online classes at a community college. I've taken quite a few online courses, and since my younger siblings are currently taking college courses online as well, I will admit... I have some insight I'd like to share with you.

Pros and Cons to Taking Online Colleges Classes

There's always a pro and con to something, regardless of what it is. Online schooling is definitely convenient and it really helps, depending on your living situation. For me, taking online courses was convenient because I don't have my own car, making it hard to commute to classes. Plus, most of the classes I wanted to take was only offered at the main campus (which is kind of far commuting wise). Another reason is I'M INTROVERTED. I prefer to stay in the comforts of my home instead of worrying about everyone's gaze lingering on me when I raise my hand to ask a question*.

* I'm THAT type of student who asks the professor a lot of questions. Mainly regarding assignments.

But I'll admit, there have been moments when I felt insane from sitting down and staring at my laptop screen for too long. So, let's start with the bad and end with the good, shall we?

CONS

- There is more work!

You're not in a classroom. The professor won't know you're doing your work unless you're actually working on assignments. That is why there are a lot more assignments in the online classroom. I would never recommend taking a full course load online because that already sounds insane. And if you have, congratulations! You can conquer anything.

- There is A LOT of writing

With more assignments there comes more writing! Personally, I enjoy writing. I love written assignments (especially over exams!) but some people can find this very tiring. And since you aren't in a classroom, verbally communicating with your fellow classmates, you will have to participate in discussion boards. Those can be fun at times and other times they can be draining. It all depends on the course!

I took a course one semester and my professor was so strict about the word count! We had a lot of discussion boards and whenever it came to replying to another student's discussion, our responses had to be a certain word count. Whereas, in most of my other courses, the word count didn't matter as much as providing insight.

- You feel like a zombie (and you may never see the light of day!)

With all that extra workload and practically being on your computer 25/8, you end up feeling a bit... MEH. There were times when I'd wake up and get right to my school work before getting dressed or brushing my teeth!

There have also been times when I hadn't left the house in DAYS. (It could have been weeks but sometimes I was forced to leave because I had to run to the store.)

And once I'm finished with my school work, obviously I don't want to touch my laptop until the next day. This sucks because I love blogging and writing for my creative outlet... And if I'm already on my laptop doing schoolwork all day, I don't feel like being on it any more than I have to.

- The professors...

The majority of my online professors have been great! Some tried to connect with the students more than others. It's really good if you do get a professor who tries to connect with you (i.e. posting videos of their lectures and participating in discussion boards) because it makes everything a lot easier. Whereas, in an actual classroom, it might be easier to get a letter of recommendation from a professor because they were able to have more of a connection with you.

Also, you never know who you are getting for a professor. The worst course I had ever taken was online and it was all because of the professor. They were never online and they never responded to my emails until days later. They never used the (expensive) textbook and when it came to grading small assignments, they gave us good grades. But when it came to the real and final assignments, it was always bad! It was the very first college class that made me cry.

The only good thing that came out of that course was that I had made friends by bonding over how awful our professor was!

- You are the teacher

When it comes down to it, you're basically teaching yourself. That can be hard if you are finding a certain subject really tricky. If you're having a hard time, don't be afraid to ask for help.

PROS

- You get to make your own schedule!

Since I am so bad at time management, I find this tricky because it was easy for me to fall into a bad schedule. However, I feel like many of you could find this really helpful- especially if you have other things going on in your life.

Eventually, I was able to get into a pretty good schedule for certain semesters. There was this one semester when I would only do my coursework in the morning, take a break, then finish sometime in the afternoon.

Taking breaks is so important when you're your own boss. I found myself mentally better when I made time for breaks.

- You can do your work WHEREVER

As long as there is wifi!

Isn't that great, though? You don't have to stay at home to be in class! You can be in class at Starbucks, the library, even on vacation! Wherever you want to go, you can take your school work with you.

I found myself being more productive at the library over home, where I was constantly interrupted. Also, at home, you can lose track of time and before you know it, you've been working on this small assignment for five hours. Whereas, if you go to the library and you can only stay for three hours... Now you have a time limit and you're able to get it done faster.

- You can write and blog more!

If you like multitasking, this is a huge plus for you. I found myself able to blog more while doing online schooling. I'd usually set a timer for 30 minutes and do my school work then take a 10-minute break by writing a scene or working on a blog post. I did NaNoWriMo during a couple semesters and this method really helped me get my word count up.

Another thing that is great about taking online courses is that if someone sees you typing away like a maniac on your laptop, they are totally going to assume you are deep into an essay and not writing that climactic scene in your NaNo novel and leave you alone! Isn't that great? A lot of people think that doing other things aside from school work on your laptop is a waste of time (I beg to differ). So, if they know you're currently enrolled online, they won't bother you...

person: hey, I need your help--

me: I'm in the middle of a quiz right now, maybe later?

person: okay

me: *proceeds to next buzzfeed quiz to find out what tv show character is my soulmate*

It's all about knowing how to work the system. ;)

- It's okay to go to class in your pjs (you're safe, introverts!)

I know I said that there were some days when I wouldn't even get changed out of my pajamas and that made me feel meh? Well, sometimes that isn't such a bad thing.

You don't have to doll yourself up anymore. And you don't have to mentally prepare yourself to socialize with strangers or do those awful icebreakers! You can do it all online, behind the screen of your computer where no one will see you. I don't know about you but that eases my anxiety.

What do you think?

Like I said, it definitely has its pros and cons. Before I took my first online class, I was told that online courses were HARD. But I actually found out that it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It's no different than being homeschooled. It's all about time management and motivating yourself. If you can do that, you got this!

Quick tips

If you're still scared about reverting to the cyber classroom then I highly suggest that you:

- Read the syllabus and know what your professor expects
- Log on every day, even when assignments are not due (it will save you in the long run)
- Don't be afraid to ask questions! (I have a feeling I'm the first student to email the professor every semester)

TALK TO ME!

Maybe you're thinking about taking online classes or are an online student who can #RELATE, I hope you found this post helpful or informative! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU IF YOU CAN ADD ANYTHING TO THIS! Have you ever had a bad professor (in class or online)? Have you ever had a great professor and were sad to let them go? HAVE YOU EVER FORGOTTEN WHICH YEAR IT WAS OR TAKEN A BUZZFEED QUIZ TO FIND OUT WHICH STARBUCKS DRINK YOU ARE? Because same.

What Anxiety REALLY Feels Like

12:00 PM

18 Comments

With such a positive and welcoming community, I feel as though I can be real and not hide behind a masked and false image.

So, let's be real for a second.

For as long as I could remember, I've always had social anxiety. I think it hit its peak in my teen years, making me this huge awkward ball of unending nerves. Anything that involved socializing gave me anxiety. Which was a huge struggle for someone who is an introvert.*

* another post for another time??

It made everything THAT much harder.

But I have to clarify that I have actually OVERCOME a lot of those anxieties. I could almost say that I do not get anxious over those situations anymore but there are definitely moments when I feel more anxious than others.

I think I've basically just grown out of that anxiety and have moved on to the next. And boy, haha- boy oh boy OH BOY DOES THIS ONE LIKE TO PLAY MIND GAMES. It happens randomly and it's usually whenever I feel overwhelmed.

But that's not what I'm here to talk about.

What I want to talk to you about is how anxiety feels. There are so many people who interpret anxiety as nothing more than feeling stressed or nervous... and that is not at all the case. Those people will most likely ask you "so what's bothering you" and I GUARANTEE, YOU WILL NOT HAVE AN ANSWER BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW.

Anxiety is so much more than feeling nervous. Anxiety is not only mentally disruptive but physically as well. When feeling an overwhelming amount of anxiety, your senses are dialed up A LOT. You feel restless. You're shaking. You are unable to focus on the task at hand because your mind keeps jumping from one thing to the next. Your mouth is dry. Your hands are cold but sweaty. You feel claustrophobic- as if everything is closing in on you. You are unable to sleep due to the jittery nerves swimming around in your stomach. You feel a sense of dread- unable to do anything you typically enjoy doing. You might even experience thoughts of self-doubt. Such as, I can't do this. Why am I like this? This is all my fault.

Now, I'm not saying that everyone feels this way, but these are symptoms I have experienced before.

Okay, quick story time.

I remember it being late 2013 (or early 2014?)... I was still struggling with a lot of social anxiety that year but at the same time, overcoming a huge amount of it.

I recall having this moment that resulted in my mother asking me What's wrong? What is making you anxious? And then her getting upset with me because I couldn't give her an answer. I had absolutely no idea what was making me feel this way.

We went to the doctor because my blood pressure was high (due to said anxiety) and she made me feel better because she said this:

Most of the time, you don't know what is making you anxious.

And it's true! You could be having a good ol' time and then all of a sudden, anxiety taps on your shoulder and says wasssup.

It's okay, you are not alone.

Anxiety is really rough, my friend. It's something that you can't control, but you can try to. So, here's a little bit advice that I can give to someone who also struggles with this:

BREATHE

I know this is the first advice anyone can give to someone who is experiencing anxiety but it definitely is the most important. Set everything aside and take a few moments to sit in a quiet place and inhale/exhale calmly. There are breathing apps you can get that will tell you how long to inhale for and when to exhale. There are also breathing exercises that you can find on Pinterest.

DRINK WATER

Sometimes when you have anxiety, you forget to feed and water yourself. Believe me, I've been there. You can't forget to do this, my dude. Your mental health is a lot better when you're well nourished and not dehydrated.

TALK TO SOMEONE

Even when you don't know what is making you feel this way, it is soooo important to talk it out. Find someone you trust, tell them how you feel. They might even feel the same way you do! If you know what is giving you anxiety, confide in them. Let them know. Again, you are not alone.

This is something that is really helpful when you are struggling and something that I don't do enough. Whenever I'm feeling anxious, I tend to isolate myself and hold my feelings in, until I combust. You do not want to combust.

It's okay to let it out. It's okay to talk about it.

TALK TO ME!

I think it is very crucial that we open up and speak out against the stigmatization towards mental health. SO LET'S OPEN UP, MY FRIEND. Every time I read a post- LIKE THIS BEAUTIFUL ONE RIGHT HERE- it makes me feel not so alone. So, speak up. You might even help someone.

Kicking January Blues | collab with Ella Marie

So, Christmas is over and everything just feels meh. Am I right? You might still have your tree up or you might have a couple half empty rolls of wrapping paper left in the basement. You might even have a couple holiday-themed cards placed on the bookshelf because you just refuse to believe that "the most wonderful time of the year" is over.

And you're utterly bored out of your mind.

But have no fear because Kenzie is here!

When I was younger, I used to absolutely hate it when the holidays were over. But then, I also didn't mind January that much... for two reasons:

1. January means it's almost my birthday! ~(o-o)~

2. It also means it's almost Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite times of the year because it just gives me a really good feeling, you know? It's like a wintery, cozy feeling with lots of chocolate and hearts and STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT. I know Valentine's Day is for, like, people in relationships and whatever, but that's not how I see it. To me it means telling those you care about you love them and buying a new book boyfriend. (In case you're wondering about the latter, my sister and I have a tradition of going to the bookstore to buy a new book (aka book boyfriend) every year. It's the best.)

Anywho, you didn't come here to watch me fangirl over some holiday most people despise.

HOW TO DEFEAT THOSE JANUARY BLUES LIKE A BOSS

So, you maybe can't find this month very appealing for any reason and it's understandable. Now, these are merely suggestions. Some people may enjoy something that someone else doesn't and that is totally okay. All I'm hoping for is to give you a little hand and a small awkward pat on the back.

1. Watch Anastasia (aka NOT Christmas movies- they'll only make you sadder)

This movie was MY CHILDHOOD, YO. Like, you have no idea how hard I shipped Dimitri and Anastasia. #noshamehere

I recently watched it for the first time in forever and it was still THE BEST. It takes place in the winter/spring time so it's perfect during January because of its setting. Therefore, I highly recommend if you're looking for a movie that isn't holiday themed but still gives you those winter vibes.

2. Color!

It seems like I always tend to get my creative juices flowing around this time of year and I feel the desire to draw something that isn't a card for someone. It's most likely because school hasn't started yet and I've got some free time. So, I'll grab out my sketchbook and make some art.

And you can too! Coloring books are great to get you in the creative/artsy-fartsy mood plus they are stress relievers. Now, there are so many coloring books available for people of all ages, it's great.

3. Finally do that thing you've been wanting to do

I know it can be hard to find the time to do that thing. You know, that thing. We've all got one. So, why not do it now? But- No buts! Go, do the thing! You'll feel so much more accomplished after you've done it. You know, that thing.

4. Go out for coffee with a friend!

I'm a homebody. I don't do that thing called socializing. But, you know what? It's kinda nice to set a little date in your little planner and meet someone for a little cup of coffee or a little something. You don't even have to go with someone, you can go alone! It might seem pointless at first but once you're out, you might find yourself smiling at the awkward couple on their first date sitting at the table across from you. (I speak from experience; it was really cute.)

5. Treat yo' self

Now is the perfect time to use up those gift cards you got during the holidays. So, make a day of it! The gift receiving/giving doesn't have to end in December. Go out, buy yourself something pretty or buy your mom something! Either way, you'll be treating yourself to a new dress or a warm hug from a loved one. It'll feel good, I promise.

6. Two words: Snail Mail

I'm honestly THE WORST at sending snail mail but I still love it all the same?? Anywho. I think now is the perfect time to send someone some snail mail. There are so many ideas on what you can put inside your letter/envelope on Pinterest without having to spend money. Also; I absolutely love watching Jordan Clark's videos. They put me in such a calming, I-wanna-send-snail-mail kind of mood. Plus, she has so many cute ideas I LOVE IT. You can also check out her beautiful blog here.

7. Prep for Valentine's Day!

It's a holiday for a reason so please... embrace it, my love. It helps you get over the excitement December had to offer while looking forward to something else.

Now go get 'em tiger! Don't let those Blues control your happiness! -(o-o)/

This post was also a collab with the amazingly sweet blogger, Ella Marie! Thank you, Ella, for asking and allowing me to collaborate with you on this! You guys should check out her January Blues post as well as her blog because she's an awesome blogger and I REALLY LOVE HER POSTS. <3

But that's not all!

We know how hard it is for us to transition from Christmas music 25/8 to none at all, so we made an upbeat playlist to help you get over that habit! Enjoy, my lovely friends. <3

What is something you hate about January? WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU LOVE? What do you do when there is simply nothing else to do? LET ME KNOW! Share some of your own tips and ideas with me.

Self-Care 101 with Kenzie (8 Helpful Tips on Taking Care of Yourself)

12:00 PM

Last week, I took a six-day break from social media. Well, except for snapchat and occasionally pinning on Pinterest... But let's not get into details. My main point is that I took a social media break as a form of self-care. I was dealing with a lot of overwhelming emotions at the time and I just needed to step back and take a breather.

It helped.

Within that week, I focused on doing things that made me feel more like myself. I cleaned my room, I made goals, I #didallthethings. I did things that made me feel less stressed and put me in a more calming attitude. I basically stepped back so I could start out fresh and new again. So, today I want to share a few tips that might help you when you're having a mentally tough day/week.

Self-Care 101 with Kenzie

Hello, class! I am your instructor, and today we will be discussing the importance of self-care with some tips on how to maintain it. Now, no aggressive staring during the lecture. It makes me uncomfortable... so if you could just look the other way, that would be great. o-o Anywho! Onto the tips...

Tip #1: Lighting is everything

I know this is one of my main tips for photography, but it is also one of the tips I live by for mental health. For me, my mood is affected by my surroundings. I feel as though that might apply to you as well... So, if you're ever feeling gloomy, your room might be feeling gloomy too. Spruce it up with the Christmas/fairy lights. It will 100% guarantee make everything feel a lot better.

Tip #2: Calm your music

Hey, if you're into that heavy metal screamo then rock on, my friend. But sometimes, your favorite music might not be the best music to listen to when you're feeling stressed out or overwhelmed. I think instrumental music is the way to go for this- especially when you're working on something that you've been stressing over and you need to get it done. One night I was feeling a bit anxious and I put on some ukulele music (here's the YouTube video) and it definitely calmed me down.

OR... You could try listening to your favorite songs but with only instruments. Sometimes that helps keep me focused so I don't get distracted by listening to the lyrics (hehe).

OR... I was feeling kind of down one night and I put on some music from the 20s-50s and it just made everything feel so much better. I highly recommend you doing that whilst working around the house or read or whatnot.

Tip #3: Clean

A clean room is a happy room! Annnnd... I probably sound like your parent but it's true!! So, you. Yes, you. Go clean your room. And rearrange it while you're at it- rearranging your things helps keep everything fresh. It'll be like you got a whole new room without spending any money!

Tip #4: Take a shower then light some candles

I love taking showers. Whenever I'm feeling blah, the first thing I do is shower. It's so refreshing and makes me feel like a whole new person afterwards and ahhh yes, go shower. You will love it. Okay now that you are done, light some candles. They don't have to be romantic smelling candles, just candles. The small flicker and light will give you such a calming feeling, you will most likely fall asleep without any anxious tummy troubles. Doesn't that sound so nice?

Tip #5: Use essential oils

As of last year, my family has gotten into using essential oils as home remedies. We've been using them for anxiety, boo-boos, cleaning, and sometimes cooking. I highly recommend defusing essential oils when you need something to either calm you down or perk you up. WANNA KNOW THE BEST PART ABOUT ESSENTIAL OILS? If it doesn't help say (for example) with a headache, then who cares? You're giving your body something good for it, so even if an essential oil doesn't take your headache away, at least you're not damaging your body.

Tip #6: FEED and WATER yourself

This is very important, my peeps. And it is something we, as humans, often forget to do. Hey, you know it's true so stop looking at me like that. SOMETIMES I FORGET TO DRINK/EAT. IT IS SOMETHING WE ALL DO SO DON'T JUDGE ME.

You are like a flower, my child. So take care of yourself like one. AND DRINK ALL THE WATER. Why? Because if you don't you feel like a soggy bowl of cereal. And who likes feeling like a soggy bowl of cereal? No one. Your mood and skin will feel so much better if you keep drinking water. CLEAN OUT THOSE TOXINS, YO.

Tip #7: Color!

Everybody loves coloring. It is a huge anxiety reliever and will definitely put you in the best, relaxed mood. Honestly, I need to color more. Who wants to join me? Also- I just started doing some word searches and I love it. They're kind of addicting??

Tip #8: Step away from the world

Take a social media break. Set aside what you do every day and go put that time and energy in learning something new. It's fun to try stuff that is out of your comfort zone. Yeah, sometimes it can be agitating when you try to learn something then you realize it's just not your thing. THAT IS OKAY THOUGH! Because at least you can say that you tried. :)

Now, take all of those tips and have a date with yourself! Even if you don't think you need it, you do.

Thanks for reading! Until next time...

Hello my lovely cookies? You guys have seen a lot of me lately, haven't you? I bet I'm blowin' up your news feed, huh? ;) Don't get sick of me yet- I still have five awesome tips for new bloggers!

Five Tips I Would Give To New Bloggers:

1. Make sure everything looks clean

The less you have the more readers you will get. For the design, go for a clean white look. Too many ads drive bloggers away- at least, it does for me. Also, try not to make your posts too wordy (I don't mean make your posts super short, just be sure not to repeat yourself a lot) and don't use fancy fonts- it can be hard for some people to read.

2. Make a Pinterest account!

I think it is probably a must need for bloggers to have a Pinterest. You will probably get really addicted, so don't say I didn't tell you so. ;) It's a place where you can find inspiration and inspire people as well by sharing your blog posts and the thinks you like. Also, Google+ is a great place to share your blog posts- that way nobody misses out on your awesome posts, even if they are using their phone.

3. Use headings and pictures

I have realized what attracts me to a blog post are the heads and subheadings, that way it doesn't make it seem like the post is too long, you know what I mean? If the post seems really long, I figure I don't have enough time to read it, and by using the headings, makes it feel like I can breeze through the post and not miss out on anything. :) Also, (this is where Pinterest comes in handy) using pictures in your posts always attracts a reader- I know it attracts me!

4. Respond to comments

It is important to reply to your readers comments, it makes them feel like you are trying to connect with them (which I'm sure you want to) and you can make amazing friends along the way! Blogging friends are everything. <3

5. Be yourself

I know this is kind of cliche, but it's true. You should always be yourself when your are blogging, be real with your bloggers. I'm not saying to share personal information with your readers because anyone can read what you share on the internet. What I'm saying is, don't act too businessy (it might make your readers feel intimidated) but also, don't hide your feelings. Be silly, talk about things that you wouldn't normally talk about (you can even tell your readers about the adventure you had taking a romantic stroll to the fridge).

So, there are my five tips for new bloggers or bloggers craving to extend their atmosphere. You don't have to follow these tips, I hope I didn't sound firm or anything. >.< They're just tips, the most important one is the last one though. <3

Thanks for reading!

HOW I EDIT MY INSTAGRAM PHOTOS AND KEEP A THEME THAT IS (somewhat) CONSISTENT

I was wrong.

It's all about e x p r e s s i n g yourself.

For my colored photos, I recently started using C1 as my filter of choice.

First, gotta add that exposure! This photo needs it especially because when I took it, my room was very dark.
