5. Read books

If the internet and technology are a constraint, you can always switch to reading books. Even with the technology available, you still have to engage in some kind of book every day. The book can be both non-fiction and fiction. Non-fiction books are useful for learning educational things and life lessons while fiction books can be read for fun, learning creative writing skills and expanding vocabulary.

7. Read newspaper articles

Different platforms such as Google Scholar and JSTOR allow students to read newspaper articles. If you are a researcher, these platforms can be extremely useful to know the work done by other experts and can also be used as citations in your research work. During COVID, JSTOR is allowing users to read 100 articles for free in one month which should be used by students.

There are different ways in which you can continue their studies. Students have the option of continuing their studies in an offline and online format, depending on their preference. No matter how you want to educate yourself, it’s important that you engage in some kind of daily learning to stay on track. During continuing education, it is also important to maintain a perfect balance between the different aspects of life to have healthy mental health.
