Dd18 sais she has nothing to get up for these days.
She finished seminary abruptly, has no job and doesn't know what to do.
What do other dds do??

Any ideas of what courses she could do online ?
I myself am struggling to make/keep to a schedule.....

Tell her to make her own "degree" program, with an appropriate number of "credits" (Chumash, Navi, halacha, personal development, Jewish history, tefillah, marriage, etc.) The amount of online resources is VAST and much of it is free now (even the paid options).

Have her give herself an ambitious goal (learn through the 5 books of the Torah, complete a certain Navi or Gemara inside (Artscroll is offering a free sefer download). Finding a phone or Whatsapp/Facetime/Zoom chavrusa will be extremely helpful.
Resources for that:

https://www.sefaria.org
https://hebrewbooks.org

Encourage her to also learn a craft medium (knitting, sewing, crocheting, painting, watercolor, cooking, baking, etc.)
Example: https://shop.mybluprint.com/co.....35338 - knife skills

If she has a certain parnasa path in mind, have her start researching what she can learn on her own, and challenge herself to complete it in a certain amount of time.

Thank you.

Will ask her what she wants to do. Show her the options. She listens to shiurim from her seminary and others.
Not sure if any of the credits will work in UK towards a degree though

I didn't mean a "real" degree, usually anyhow seminary is mainly for self-motivated learning, growth and inspiration.

If she wants a degree, I'm sure there are UK online courses she can take now for real credits. (Open University, for one.)

What are her seminary friends doing now? They can learn together on zoom. Or she can teach herself a random new skill. Or she can just chill out. This isn't going to last forever.
