 Excuses That Slow You Down While Studying

I Don't Have Enough Time

Welcome to the club. We all have too little time. And if you don't have time for something, the thing is just not important enough to you. Therefore, think about what is really important to you and set clear priorities in your life. Then you always have time.

I Don't Feel Like It

Studying is work. And work has little to do with pleasure. If you make your commitment during your studies dependent on how much you want to, you are guaranteed to fail and never be successful and happy. You don't need to be interested in studying – you need a strong will. Not more. And if you lack it, try to work on your willpower, and if you need like you need help with your assignments while you are improving your willpower, you can hire a paper writing service.

I'm Not In Shape Today

Your form doesn't matter much when studying. Of course, there are phases when you are super productive and complete one task after the other at record speed. But this state of flow is rare and will only happen to you every few weeks. In the meantime, you'll have to make it through with your reduced power and settle for 90, 70, or 50 percent of your capacity. Realize this: 50 percent of sessions are still better than 0 percent sessions.

I'll Do That Later

Postponing things later is one of the most powerful ways to lie to yourself and remain unsatisfied forever. Everything that you put off until "later" or "tomorrow" you subconsciously classify as unimportant and there is a high probability that you will forget it or never do it. So, get in the habit of tackling important tasks immediately - even if it's just a tiny first step to get you going. If you really have to postpone tasks: Schedule them and set a specific completion date.

I Still Have Time

As long as the schedule allows, many students postpone their assignments. The problem with this: This postponement means that important deadlines are concentrated in a short period of time and combine to form a super-stress phase. Just because you have plenty of time left doesn't mean you can avoid work right now—it means you can avoid stress by sticking with it now. Otherwise, your postponed deadlines will catch up with you later. In such cases, you might just simply not have enough time, and you would need to use services like us.masterpapers.com to deal with your tasks.

It's Too Hot/Too Cold

For as long as the weather has existed, students have used it as an excuse. Whether it's too warm, too cold, too windy, or too dreary: productive learning is simply not possible today. And not tomorrow either. So a tip from the weather fairy: stop making your performance dependent on external influences. You are in control of how you work, and nothing can stop you.

I'm Too Busy

Between your part-time job, all the housework, and your family, don't you get to study? Then I have a suggestion for you: reduce your part-time job, stop doing your housework, or care less about your family. Sound hard? It is. But if you want to study more, you have to do less of something else - otherwise, your schedule won't work out. Don't confuse yourself. Determine what's important to you and do it. And remember best writing services are always out there for you to help you out with your academic overload.

It's Not Worth It Anymore

If you also belong to the faction that it's-not-worth-it-for-the-few-minutes-anymore: Yes, it's worth it! And every time. Every minute you put into your studies is time well spent. It's an investment in yourself. And sometimes it can be as long as twenty, ten, even two minutes. The main thing is that you do something and work on your goals.

First, I Have To

Solid preparation is important – no question about it. But it must not be used as an excuse to put off one's own tasks. 99 percent of the time, you have everything you need to get started. You don't have to do anything beforehand. It's all there. You are ready. You just have to start. Now.

Conclusion

Many students fail because of their own excuses and block their way to a beautiful and happy future. Excuses are a completely natural function of the human psyche: They protect you from unpleasant changes. The only problem is that these changes usually only feel bad in the short term - afterward they create a positive lasting effect and ensure that you get a lot closer to your goals.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
