I don't know about you but lately, I have been struggling to do anything related to school. I'm not sure if it is just a senioritis thing or if it is just an everyone thing. I have always been pretty motivated to do school things up until a couple of weeks ago. Have no idea what happened, I think I am just physically and mentally drained, and most of us get that way toward the end of the year. Here are 10 ways to help you stay motivated for the rest of the year.

Summer is only three months away

Just think after these next two months, you can relax by the pool and get your tan on.

Seniors, we have less than 50 days left

We got this.

Moving on to bigger and better things

My true motivation right here, I just keep thinking to myself — two more months and then I am off to college to do what I love every single day. That's pretty freaking awesome.

Remind yourself of long-term goals

I have to remind myself sometimes of why I need to do well now and why it is important to finish strong — to succeed later.

Schedule in some downtime

Sometimes the reason we are not motivated to do anything is because we haven't set time out for ourselves, we get so busy with school, job, friends but we don't allow ourselves to take a breather and sometimes I am just as quilty.

Be a kid for a while

Everything you do probably revolves around your school life. So drop the backpack for a bit and go out. Forget that you are a student and just be in the moment.

Change your routine

Mix up your routine. You might be in a little funk because you do the same thing every day. Try something new!!!

Have breaks in between your homework or study sessions

As the weather gets nicer, it feels like when you are doing homework or studying you are missing out. Rather than fighting the urge set up a time to have breaks. Give yourself time to breathe.

Get good sleep

I know personally when I am tired and did not get much sleep the night before, I get less motivated to do anything, especially school work.

 Get organized!

The more you know what you have to do in advanced the better off you will be. I know that when I was doing all the college forms and stuff. I had a plan and it got me to do what I needed to do. This will help you stay more motivated than ever.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
