That was 17 years ago and I took my first class after my “break” last year.

You are so close to being finished, don’t screw that up. Just 6 short months and you are done. 6 months? Come on.

Trust me the job market is tanking my dear and taking 6 months off now, might cost you food on your table. Do the right thing for your future and finish. 180 days (or so)

For motivation get a big calendar that shows a whole year and mark you last day of school on it. Count back and number the days until finished. Keep it where you can see it. If for me I would also write down how many days I have been working towards this goal. Seeing the amount of previous effort as compared to the time left may just motivate you to keep going. Picture yourself in your cap & gown receiving the degree/diploma with honors.

Be proud of yourself for making it this far and a GPA of 3.5 is very good. Heck I don’t even know you and I am proud of you.

You are so close now, just make it a duty and you will never regret it. If you stop Inertia may take over and you may not finish for years. Don’t do that to yourself.

Good luck.

Listen, you must be tired of going to school by now, I know I am (I’m on my 6th year and still have 2.5 full time years left until I get my BA). I have trouble with motivation as well and one thing that gets me through it is thinking of moving on with my future…like having and providing for a family of my own, stability, and freedom from part-time bartending jobs!

There could be so many reasons why your feeling like this (so make sure its not something more serious like a medical condition). I have to say I envy you right now. Your so close to graduating you can taste it! Think of all the time you spent waiting to be here, and now its here. So many people would be dying to walk in your shoes.

Just a few more months and you can really relax. You can do it, your not a quitter!!!! You got this far so you need to finish while feeling your best and most proud of yourself! You’ve been waiting for these final moments so live them out, release your tension, take a walk and some deep breaths…AND GET BACK TO WORK!!! 🙂
