Whoops, I Left My Motivation At Home Over Thanksgiving Break

There are three weeks of school left and I have no motivation at all.

Whoops, I Left My Motivation At Home Over Thanksgiving Break

I went home for Thanksgiving break early and it was perfection.

I got to see my family, friends and my absolutely adorable baby cousin. I watched so much Netflix and slept whenever I wanted to. Apart from going to a couple of doctor's appointments and working out a couple of times I did pretty much nothing... AND IT WAS AMAZING. I got to relax and forget about the stress of school for an ENTIRE WEEK! Eating my weight in food on Thanksgiving was also a bonus! We got to decorate for Christmas and listen to Christmas music while stuffing our faces with delicious cheese fondue. For an entire week, I just hung out with my family and friends and it became comfortable.

Come Sunday, the sad depressiveness of going back to school had arrived. I was nowhere near ready. I had grown accustomed to this whole laying around the house thing. Going back to school meant that finals were coming up in a few short weeks and thinking about all the things I needed to accomplish in the next few weeks was terrifying. I had so much to do in so little time which was so overwhelming that I didn't want to do any of it.

The drive back to school was long and I had a lot of time to think about all these wonderful things I needed to accomplish. It was awful. I realized when I got back and was starting one of my assignments that I had less than zero motivation to do the assignment or any of my upcoming homework and assignments. That week I had spent at home had just set me up for a rough transition into the end of the semester. The struggle was real and my lack of motivation even more so. Going to class seemed like a task too horrible for anyone to endure.

This is a real problem. The semester is almost over and there is a lot that must be accomplished. I have so much to do and I cannot seem to find enough motivation to begin executing any of it yet. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please send help.

I BEG OF YOU!!!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
