folkwang is...productive and thoughtful by Janina Rettig

Janina Rettig is a student assistant at Folkwang University Communications and is responsible, among other things, for producing the weekly press review. She is currently studying Media Studies and Culture, Individual and Society at Ruhr University Bochum. She reveals here what her everyday life looks like in Corona times

How do you currently structure your day?

With four H's throughout the day - I try to plan home office, home workout, home cooking and home entertainment into my day, but it's also important not to expect too much. After all, not everyone can use their newfound time productively and successfully due to the circumstances. That's why I also keep time free to think, process, gather strength and simply relax

What are you working on at the moment?

Like many students, I'm probably in the final stages of working on a term paper, so there's still plenty to do!

What comforts you?

I'm glad that I'm still receiving my salary as a student assistant and therefore don't have to worry about my livelihood and income in the current situation. Unfortunately, this doesn't apply to all students, many of whom are dependent on jobs in the catering sector, for example, and whose income is now no longer available.
