How To Find The Motivation To Go To Class

This seems to be a problem that hits most college students around the beginning of second semester. Perhaps, it is because spring is in the air, and soon the snow will be nothing more than a disturbing and distant memory. Not to mention that Spring break is right around the corner!

Or, it could have no reasoning behind it at all, sometimes there are just times where as hard as you try you honestly cannot make yourself get up and face the day. You can be one of the most studious people around, but this can truly affect anybody. Maybe it's the winter blues hitting you a little harder than you had anticipated, or maybe it is simply you have lost your motivation. Either way here are a few tips for you to find yourself back on track.

A couple ways you can find your way back to a more positive and motivated class-attending lifestyle is by completing some of the following: writing three things you are grateful for everyday, journaling about your days and the positive things you encounter, exercising, dancing, meditation (yoga, deep breathing exercises, etc.), and random acts of kindness.

Honestly, just find the little things throughout your days that make you smile and focus on those moments. They will get you through the blues and help you get back on your feet and back in class!

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!
