 The Covid-19 pandemic, which spread in a short time, has become a new
problem in Indonesia which has a huge impact on education. The Minister of
Education, through the Minister of Education and Culture Circular Number 4
of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Education in the Coronavirus
Disease (Covid-19) Emergency Period, wants all students to be able to get
optimal education services but still prioritizes health protocols to break the
Covid-19 chain as much as possible. This condition makes Riau University,
where I study, to implement an online college or online lecture policy. The
lecture process that was originally conventional (offline) must be transformed
into online lectures that can be done without limited time and place.
During online lectures, I really felt boredom in studying, not only me but
many students complained of being bored and bored because the teaching
method was felt to be increasingly monotonous and ineffective. And with the
many assignments given by the teacher, students, including me, feel stressed
about facing online lectures at home. The stress you face could get worse if
not addressed. Stress can make someone become apathetic, lazy, don't want to
go out and hang out and have a bad impact on sleep quality. In this case the
stress that is experienced depends on the different coping of each student.
There are those who can overcome it and some are just running it.
Doing other activities as a solution to boredom and stress in order to overcome
problems and reduce stress levels. One of the activities that I do to reduce the feeling of
boredom and stress I experience is by doing activities that I like or my hobby, namely
cooking cakes. By baking cookies, I can divert my mind from all the tasks that make me
feel stressed. After completing the assignment given, when there are still ingredients to
make a cake, I will immediately bake a cake. Not only making cakes, I also take
advantage of the time at home to play with my pet cat, they can divert my feelings
completely because I really like cats. Besides that, I also often go to the fields with my
family to plant rice and also fish near the fields.

The thing that must be done during a pandemic and undergoing online lectures at home
so as not to feel boredom and increased stress is to take advantage of free time to do
interesting and exciting activities to do. Activities that can entertain and also divert the
mind for a moment to forget the tasks that have accumulated. Doing activities that you
like, which can get rid of boredom from your mind. There are many interesting things
that can be done, depending on what we like to do. What makes us feel good.
