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!!!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
