5 Ways To Stay Motivated In College
Sometimes the only thing that awakens the desire to study is motivation. Motivation can be different – parent’s encouragement, scholarship, self-esteem increasing, professors’ respect and lots of other things. I was a student too and can claim for sure – studying without motivation loses its sense and value. Once you lost a goal – your productivity decreases and the results you will get at the end of the day won’t bring you satisfaction.
So, what’s motivation? Is it such an elusive and subtle thing that is unattainable for students? My answer is NO! I can ensure you that every academic can be motivated by simple things. Sticking to simple rules guarantees you boosting your GPA! Intrigued? Great! Let’s start.

Apply for Help and Support


There are times when simple support is everything we need. When I was a student, I used to apply for help and advice to my professors, friends, and family. In the days, when I couldn’t accomplish assignments or it was hard to prepare for term tests, I needed a simple talk with my Mom or BFF and every problem turned to be a trifle for me.
Build your support system – it should be people you trust, people who inspire you. The right words can awake us for actions and fresh ideas. So, don’t underestimate this step.
If you study in another city and don’t have any close friends, you can apply for professional writing help. A lot of students order essay  Open in new Window. online and get quality papers within several days.
Get Distracted
While lots of “experts” recommend students stay away from distractions, I recommend go on about little temptations. For instance, when you feel like you are exhausted and don’t have any desire to move on, stop there. Take a time to relax and refresh your mind.
Going for a walk is the best thing that I can recommend. Fresh air still works a miracle with my thoughts and attitude. Yoga, jog, movie, nap, meeting with friends – all this is possible and useful for your motivation.

Have Your Ever Heard about Dream Board?

This step is perfect for visuals who perceive word through their eyes. You can use visualization  Open in new Window. to improve your learning and gain new skills faster. Thoughts, dreams, and wishes are material. Dream board visualizes all your preferences and strong desires and sends a specific message to the Universe.
I used to have such dream board when I was a student. What can I say… Some of my dreams really came true! Check it out too.
What can be included? Magazine clippings, articles, drawings, inspirational words, pictures, statistics, career options etc. Actually, all this is up to you.

Set Small Goals

While dream board, basically, contains great things and global plans, it is so essential to have a place that contains small tasks and goals. Your notebook can work miracles unless it consists of everyday goals that you will keep in mind account and accomplish during a day. Such notebooks and organizers are irreplaceable for busy people and businessmen. So, for students too.
Setting small goals is important as it is better to reach them. The smaller aim you will set, the faster you will get to the final destination.

Organize Your Environmental Wisely

Unless you attend clubs and remain a part of a bad company, you are likely to stay where you stay now. The right environmental contributes development and, therefore, calm evenings in the cinema with your friends or at home with your favorite books are the best variants!
You are what you eat, think, see and, obviously, DO. Therefore, don’t waste your time doing wrong things and going the wrong path. Be motivated. Motivation creates a promising student. And I am sure that I am talking about YOU! Start now.
