6 Reasons Why College Students Are Unmotivated The Rest Of The Semester

Since we just spent the last few days at home enjoying time with our loved ones and don't really want to be back at school, I thought I would share the reasons why students are unmotivated at this point in the semester. Here are six things that are holding us back from smiling during the last month of school:

1. Daylight Savings

I don't know about you guys, but daylight savings is still getting to me. I hate that when its 5:00 p.m. it feels like its 9:00 p.m. I never really feel like doing anything because I'm exhausted.

2. Winter

Snow is the absolute worst. Everything is wet, damp, slippery and cold. Why would you want to put yourself through that.

3. Homework

When you have 5 projects, 15 papers, and 20 other homework assignments due by Tuesday, and all you really want to do is watch Netflix and sleep for 5 hours... Because professors just really want to see how much they can give you until you break.

4. People

It's at that point in the semester where people just exist and annoy the crap out of you because you haven't slept in three days and don't have time to deal with anyone, and lets be honest, you don't even have time to deal with yourself.

5. We start freaking out about life

We registered for classes and are wondering if what we chose to do with our lives is really what we want to do.

6. Finals

We all know that finals are coming and we are seriously dreading it, so we make Netflix a top priority.

Yes, it's that time of the year and I hope that everyone can find some motivation to carry on, but if you can't, don't worry, you can always watch "10 Things I Hate About You" on Netflix.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
