I guess I'm becoming what is commonly known as a slacker... I'm forgetting why i'm at school in the first place and have been missing classes... I'll promise myself that i will go... but when it comes time i'm like...... I don't want to go!!!!!! So i'm feeling a little worried about how the rest of my semester goes... so what gives you the will to do the daily routines of your life?

I'm into my third week of uni, I am shattered. I could easily skip classes, stay home and catch up on housework, cook a decent meal or just sit....

Dipping out now would be easy, I've tried it, found it too much of a challenge and have thought about giving up now.

But, if I do that I won't see the pride on my childrens faces like on the day when I was told I had passed my college course, they were so proud it glowed out of them.

Think of the pride your family and friends will have in you that you didn't give up! And remember you're not the only one struggling to be bothered. :-6

And I think that was more of a pep talk for me rather than you :wah:

School has it's ups and down like real life. You just have to keep on going ahead, knowing what your final goal will be-to graduate. Oh, it is always hard to get the work done, but you just put it first and get it out of the way. It is the same in life, you do the chores you must do, for any down time for yourself.

You can do it!

You need to sit down and visualize positive outcomes of finishing your courses as well as visualizing negative outcomes of not finishing, and then make a decision of which outcome you prefer. Do the same thing with a sheet of paper by drawing a line from top to bottom, and on the right list the pros of finishing and on the left the negatives.
