find ways to reward yourself that work for you! get invested in whether or not you earn your reward as a layer of the plot.
grab a yummy drink after you finish your week of classes, make a pact with a friend to go to your classes together, find something silly to get invested in keeping tabs on during your class so it’s your journalistic duty to go. you have to. whatever it is. if you can’t make the class fun make it fun to incorporate into your week <3

that’s such a horrible place to be stuck in… if you’re needing an analog diversion, maybe try a low effort craft? collaging has been a favorite of mine cuz i can turn off my verbal brain but it’s still stimulating enough to keep me engaged. i’ve also really enjoyed cozy/casual games on my switch cuz they’re distracting but not too hard either
nothing gets me out of a funk better than talking to another human though... maybe facetime a friend to talk about nothing for a bit
stretching while watching a show or listening to a podcast… wakes the body up and keeps the scary thoughts at bay

In the same boat having j graduated myself. put the phone away at night. job hunt every day from 9am-12 and do nothing else in that time frame. coffee shops help me.
also go outside everyday sun does wonders. Used to be hyper depressed and shit and that helps the mind a lot

the two major irritators of a migraine in my experience are light and noise. my recommendation is that after taking advil (or tylenol etc), put your phone away, go to a room where you think it will be the most quiet, preferably where you can lie down, like your bedroom (i know it can be hard; i myself live in a loud and dysfunctional household so i also have to put in earplugs but earplugs are also another thing that may help!) turn off all the lights, close the window shades (you may want to wear an eye mask) and just lie down there like that for a long time. It's ok if you don't end up calling asleep; the main goal is to keep you away from stimulators like light and noise for long enough that the migraine hopefully feels a little better. This may not make it go away completely but it does at least help. Afterwards though, try not to make an immediate jump back to looking at screens, walking around, talking, lostening to things, etc, because it might be so jarring that your migraine immediately relapses. I hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon!! Sending best wishes; I know your pain and ur not alone 😭

My great grandfather (the father of my mom's late stepfather) is Clancy Hayes. He was a relatively famous banjo player and jazz musician in the mid 90s; idk if anyone's heard of him here though! His music even was broadcasted on the radio and you can find some videos of him on YouTube.
... Also, my great great grandfather on my mom's side I think supposedly invented the machine that made Corn Flakes, (but sold the invention as well as rights to invention to make money for his family; I don't think he has any interest in the rights or being famous, which is fair --I mean it's a corn flake machine for gods sake, also in this world money can feed you far better than fame can!!!!) Unfortunately no one other than my family will know the person who invented the corn flakes machine was my great great grandfather 🤣
