Online classes also present problems like&nbsp;unstable internet connection, inefficient technology and other obstacles that make learning even more difficult.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even low-workload classes can feel daunting. Skylar Aiken, a junior sociology major, feels exactly this way, stating that their music ensemble class feels especially difficult despite being a class with less work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKnowing where your limits lie is a great start to preventing it, but you can&#8217;t always prevent it from happening,\u201d Aiken said. \u201cBurnout doesn&#8217;t always just affect your education, it can affect how you feel physically, mentally and emotionally.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aiken also mentioned that&nbsp;the&nbsp;pandemic&nbsp;affects relationships with others as well. However, making sure you have a support network you can&nbsp;talk&nbsp;to&nbsp;in some socially distanced way is helpful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[Burnout] is something to always be aware of and always ask for help to get through,\u201d Aiken said. \u201cIt is like hitting a mental wall, and you want to give up but there are always people out there to help get you through it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With case numbers falling and several vaccines ready to be distributed, there is hope that the pandemic will be over soon and that burnout will become less common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are struggling with academics and\/or your mental health this semester, you can reach out to counseling services at counselingservices@lvc.edu or by phone at (717) 867-6232.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By: Chloe Kline &#8217;21, Staff Writer&nbsp; With&nbsp;society&nbsp;closing in on nearly a year of living with COVID-19,&nbsp;many LVC students are feeling burnt out.&nbsp; Between academic and family responsibilities, isolation and&nbsp;potentially&nbsp;sick family members, students find themselves losing <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/2021\/03\/06\/burnout-in-the-face-of-covid-19\/\" title=\"Burnout in the face of COVID-19\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6345,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6840","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-campus-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
