How do you keep yourself motivated to continue your studies?

That question is so easy for me because I went through it. Here's my line for you: Would you rather suffer 5 years and profit 40 or the other way around?

Background:
I graduated high school, I graduated vocational college (no, that's not real college) and I went out into the world applying for jobs. You have no idea how much I was treated as pure dirt, as shit, as insignificant, as a hobo - by everyone, by the government; no one caring you exist, people offending your intelligence, everything.
So after that episode I decided: "That's it, that's enough, I won't be disrespected anymore", so I got and fought [b]tremendously hard[/b] for a Bachelor's degree and I got it, I got my respect, my future guaranteed employability and my stability. I'll have you know that 85% of my class gave up eh, they gave up along the way and now they're working in factories, minimum wage.
Yeah love, that's not my lifestyle. I want some respect in my life.

I hope this helps!

You've made it so far, the finish line is in sight, so you know you can make it..

Depression is another challenge, sometime the meds you take can fog you up leading to difficulties in studying and procrastination. You should chat with your doc and see if there is anything else than can be recommended (dose, type etc)

You need a confidence boost, to believe in yourself and get both these challenges under control..

Try taking little breaks to get completely away from it. Leave it all behind and go take a walk in the park and enjoy the day. You may think you don't have the time but you'd just be procrastinating instead. Now you're taking a break with purpose and releasing some of that stress.

Perhaps you are alone .. not having a companion.. find one preferably a class mate who you can care for .. and cared for in exchange ..

Loneliness leads to depression cause we don,t get motivation which is like fuel which we need often ..

There is just no one concrete way but my guess is that the fear of failure you have right now will land you safe. Keep experimenting ways like setting a schedule, post it cards, or having someone to monitor your progress etc. Good luck :)

At those times you just [b]DO[/b]. You don't think about your motivation and you don't ask yourself how you [i][b]feel[/b][/i] about what you're doing, you just [b]DO[/b]

sure you will...think positively
