I am in that bump again where I feel like I lost motivation. As I see individuals my age or younger and are already at such a high academic merit (such in a graduate program, etc.) it discourages me. Yeah I mean, seeing such it does make me want to try my best but at the same time it makes me wonder what if I fail? I over think everything and it just makes me stressed and depressed. I become overwhelmed with such thoughts that there are times I want to give up. I am not, however, going to do that. I am going to confront my demons and motivate myself to strive the academic ladder. I think what tends to happen as well is that I review the requirements and what not for the graduate program and I will admit that it does intimidate me. I fear that it will be too much to handle and that I am setting myself up for disaster. But, like I said, I won’t give up. I will graduate with my BS and I will obtain that Master’s Degree!!
Positive thinking, positive thinking, positive thinking.
