Hey guys,
I just came on here maybe looking for some motivational words! I have 5 more days until I am done with this semester at school but I also have 3 finals between now and then. I am lacking motivation to study and have half a mind to leave the library right now, watch movies and eat ice cream all afternoon (ok so i wouldn't do that)...BUT I am running on empty for my motivation to study and am just very irritated all around! I am meeting my friend in 3 hours to swim laps and I am really looking forward to it! I just know I will feel better if I get some serious studying in between now and then and then I can relax and study leisurely tonight afterwards...

Any tips or advice? I guess I know what I need to do, just feeling really tired and kinda sad all around. Thanks guys for reading and sorry to be such a downer today!

Welcome!

    You need carbs to fuel your brain — not simple, sugary ones, but maybe some fruit or a slice of whole-wheat bread. Try it and see if that makes it easier to focus!
  • I feel the same way! I am a junior in college and it is hard. I am constantly tired because of early mornings and late nights. The end of the semester is alwasy the worst and I still have 3 weeks left! Working out is honestly one of my favorite things to do to get rid of some stress and to forget about all of the work I have to come back to! As I write this to you I am working on my millions of things to do and I want to get up and go to the gym. Thanks for motivating me, especially because all I want to do is sleep! Always remind yourself that what you are doing is worth it in the end and you are almost done!
