1. Make A Friend To Hold You Accountable
GiphyIf you don't have one already, find a friend in each of your classes. Someone who can text or call you when you miss class. Someone who will check in to see if you are coming or not. Not someone who will just say okay and send you notes. Find someone who will motivate you and miss you when you aren't there.
2. Schedule
GiphySCHEDULE. SCHEDULE. SCHEDULE. With the spring weather coming it can be difficult to keep focus and not go outside and play frisbee or hike with friends. But you can always schedule in time to study and time to go hiking. Try not to go off and do spontaneous activities....at least until the semester is over.
3. Think of Graduation
GiphyIf you are graduating then just think about how close it is! If not, then try to think about all the summer adventures you will have or experience! Think of break and how close you are to finishing up the school year.
4. Doing Something In Your Community
GiphyHaving some kind of purpose that will keep you busy is a great way to also keep you organized about your scheduling. It will also fill you with some type of happiness and fulfillment that will help motivate you to keep going and to keep making a difference.
5. Remember What Your Goals Are
GiphyBy doing this you can stay motivated. Whether that means thinking about your career, the money you'll be making, etc. Anything that can help keep you on track and focused is always a positive to have in your life.
A Step By Step Tutorial On How To Discover Your Passion
No, not all of us know how to do that on our own.
With everyone saying "follow your dream" and "pursue your passion," the pressure can be quite high when you still need to figure out exactly what that passion is. That is, until now...
Take a BuzzFeed quiz
Preferably try something like "What career should you actually have?" If you find yourself taking the "What kind of bread are you" quiz, you're probably too far down the rabbit hole.
Google search the top paying professions
Hmm... lawyer or doctor, which will it be?
Convince yourself that money doesn't matter when pursuing your passion
Money doesn't mean happiness, right?
Ask your family members for their opinion
After all, your family knows you best and can probably guide you in the right direction.
Ignore your family's opinion
Shout out something along the lines of "Only I can discover the right path for me!" and retreat back to another BuzzFeed quiz.
Go to college and pick a major that sounds interesting
The opportunities are endless!
Change your major
And I mean endless...
Repeat step 7 as many times as necessary
Seriously...endless.
Pick one and tell your friends and family (and yourself) that you found your calling
Whether it means college or not, find something you truly enjoy and make the most of it.
But always remember that passions can change and evolve
Just because you start down a certain path doesn't mean that you need to stay on it without turning around or taking a different road. The more you explore, the more you learn. That's all part of the fun.
