School Year Motivation

Alrighty peeps, I've been at it for about a month now and it's starting to get a little easier, but I am worried about 2 things:
1. I've never stuck with it much longer than this before. I don't have any desire to quit, and my motivation is pretty good, but that might not be how I feel next week or next month.
2. School is going to be starting back up soon (I am a Senior at UMich this year), and I know it's going to get harder to focus on getting fit when there are grades to focus on too.

So I'm looking for LOTS of new friends. I find that when other people try and motivate me, it helps a little, but I get real hyped up about my own goals if I am helping motivate others and seeing their successes. (Ya know, like a "take notes in class as if you were taking them for a friend who is absent" type thing. Wow, ok someone has school on the brain.) I'm happy to friend anyone who is just starting out or who has been around a while.

    Hey we are in the same boat almost to a T. I have been at it for about a month (with some slip ups for sure) and my school starts next monday. I am a senior at UNR and I am also worried about staying on track. Grades are HUGE to me but so is my attendance in CrossFit so it will be a challenge. Feel free to add me if you would like :]
