Classes can feel incredibly dull. It’s frustrating when the teacher spends most of the time going over a topic we’ve already thoroughly covered just a week ago, especially when we’ve taken extensive notes and had multiple reviews. So, how do I make the most of that time?
Classes are so boring
I totally get that! It can be really frustrating to sit through material you’ve already mastered. Here are a few ideas to pass the time productively:
Review Your Notes: If you’ve taken extensive notes, now might be a good time to organize them or highlight key concepts. You could also turn your notes into study flashcards.
Plan Your Week: Use the time to plan out your assignments, upcoming tests, or even your personal schedule. It can help you feel more organized.
Read Ahead: If you have access to the textbook or other materials, use this time to read ahead. It might give you a head start on the next topic.
Doodle or Sketch: Sometimes letting your mind wander creatively can help relieve boredom and even spark new ideas.
Engage with Classmates: If it’s appropriate, engage with a classmate about the material or even form a study group for later.
Mindfulness or Breathing Exercises: If you find your mind wandering, try some mindfulness techniques or breathing exercises to help stay focused and calm.
Hopefully, one of these suggestions will make class a little more bearable!
