I don't know about you but lately, I have been struggling to do anything related to school. I'm not sure if it is just a senioritis thing or if it is just an everyone thing. I have always been pretty motivated to do school things up until a couple of weeks ago. Have no idea what happened, I think I am just physically and mentally drained, and most of us get that way toward the end of the year. Here are 10 ways to help you stay motivated for the rest of the year.

Summer is only three months away

Just think after these next two months, you can relax by the pool and get your tan on.

Moving on to bigger and better things

My true motivation right here, I just keep thinking to myself — two more months and then I am off to college to do what I love every single day. That's pretty freaking awesome.

Remind yourself of long-term goals

I have to remind myself sometimes of why I need to do well now and why it is important to finish strong — to succeed later.

Schedule in some downtime

Sometimes the reason we are not motivated to do anything is because we haven't set time out for ourselves, we get so busy with school, job, friends but we don't allow ourselves to take a breather and sometimes I am just as quilty.

Be a kid for a while

Everything you do probably revolves around your school life. So drop the backpack for a bit and go out. Forget that you are a student and just be in the moment.

Change your routine

Mix up your routine. You might be in a little funk because you do the same thing every day. Try something new!!!

Have breaks in between your homework or study sessions

As the weather gets nicer, it feels like when you are doing homework or studying you are missing out. Rather than fighting the urge set up a time to have breaks. Give yourself time to breathe.

Get good sleep

I know personally when I am tired and did not get much sleep the night before, I get less motivated to do anything, especially school work.

 Get organized!

The more you know what you have to do in advanced the better off you will be. I know that when I was doing all the college forms and stuff. I had a plan and it got me to do what I needed to do. This will help you stay more motivated than ever.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
