Only 5 Weeks Left in the Semester? Spooky! Here's Some Tips to Stay Motivated As the Semester Comes to an End.

Week 10 of the fall semester has just come to an end... Spooky, right? Do you know what else is spooky? The fact that there's only 5 more weeks left in the whole semester! Where has the time gone!? With Halloween and Thanksgiving celebrations on everyone's mind at this time of the year, it's important to stay on track and keep yourself motivated with your school work and obligations (as hard as that may be). Here are just a few tips to peak your motivation just when you seem to be losing it:


1. Set Small Goals - Focus on progress, no matter how big or small, to keep your motivation from dwindling; take things one-step-at-a-time.

2. Organize Your Time - Doing well academically should be a top priority; set some time aside to plan out the week ahead of you.

3. Develop a Support Group - Finding friends and family that support your goals can make a world of difference when it comes to staying motivated.

4. Be Realistic, But Always Strive for Improvement - Be realistic in undertaking your pursuits; nothing happens overnight and nothing comes easy.

5. Believe in Yourself! - Always work to be the best you can be and never give up on goals that are important to you, regardless of how frustrated or exhausted you may become.

I hope these tips help you to push through the last couple weeks of the semester when you're being bombarded with work, exams, and projects. Remember to always strive for greatness. Stop into my office if you have any questions, concerns, or if you just need to talk!

Have a HAPPY and SAFE Halloween!
