To The College Seniors In Their Last Semester With No Motivation

You have worked so hard to get to where you are, don't give up now.

To The College Seniors In Their Last Semester With No Motivation

It gets hard when you have been going to school for so long. You're in your last semester and probably don't have as many classes as you usually do because most of them are finished.

You have a lot more free time now so what you don't want to do during those times is homework, but you're so close to the end of the line you have to do it.

You tell yourself that you will do it later after you watch your favorite TV show and take a short nap. The next thing you know it's 12 am and you decide to just go to bed and that you will do it tomorrow. But really you put it off until a few hours before its due.

This time next year you won't be worrying about homework or if school will cancel because of the snow. You will have an actual job that pays well and all the free time in the world.

It seems a little unreal that you won't have to take another test again. You're probably still in disbelief right now, but I promise you the end is very near and you have to keep going.

So get off that couch, get out of bed, open up that laptop and see what's due this week and get it done! The amount of time it takes you to do it now will be the same amount that it will take you to stress out about getting it done on the day that it is due.

For now, you have to do the discussion boards and quizzes no matter how small and tedious they seem. In just a few months studying for those tests and doing those assignments means you walk across the stage in your cap and gown and get your diploma. You got this!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
