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
Tumblr

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!!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
