Hi lovelies,
How are you all keeping?
It honestly feels like I haven’t checked in with all of you, in months!
I’m currently just trying to survive the final four months of my degree, therefore, I have very limited time for writing. However, today I wanted to share three simple ways to motivate yourself during the academic year.
- Talk to your friends
Friendships are an integral part of the college experience.
The friends you make in college play a major role in most, if not all, of the college memories you’ll cherish for life.
Although they are great to party with, never forget how relatable they are.
You are all in this academic journey together, therefore, they know more than anyone else, how demotivating, the whole learning process may sometimes be.
College is like a never ending rollercoaster.
There are many highs, but with them, comes just as much lows.
Assignment deadlines are nothing but demotivating – once you finish a task, there’s always another one lingering around the corner. The cycle just never seems to end!
This cycle, often leaves students feeling drained, physically and emotionally, and, as a consequence, doubtful thoughts begin to blossom.
College friends are crucial in times where you may feel this way.
By talking to one another you will soon feel reassured, not alone, hopeful and comforted.
2. Focus on the bigger picture
College is full of endless hurdles, that can sometimes leave you questioning, if you are wasting your time or not. In the process of attaining your degree, you often lose focus of your goals, and although this is very natural, do not allow yourself to lose all hope.
Instead, focus on the bigger picture.
Remind yourself of why you applied to college.
Remind yourself, of the many achievements you wish to accomplish, and never stop striving for what you want! – no matter how hard it may seem at times.
College is a stepping stone to all your future career goals. So give it your best shot!
3. Celebrate little achievements
As mentioned above, college assignments and deadlines are seemingly never-ending.
Therefore, make sure to celebrate yourself, once you’ve completed one.
You deserve to celebrate all the hard work, tears, energy and dedication that you’ve spent whilst completing each task.
By celebrating your achievements, you give yourself, the necessary shot of motivation needed to get to the end.
Staying motivated in college, is imperative to your success.
If you’re anything like me, and sometimes have trouble motivating yourself, try applying these tips to help you stay driven, as you approach graduation.
This college year is almost over, and summer 2020 will soon be in reach, so get yourself motivated, and FAST!
“You don’t want to look back and know you could’ve done better”.
