Hello Pretty People,
Well, we’ve reached that point of the semester where things are beginning to drag; we made it through October and we are half way through November, Christmas break is in sight! I had many ideas for what I wanted today’s post to be about, but I came to the conclusion that inspiration was needed. I have talked to so many people in the past few days that have told me they are ready for this semester to be over and I think we are all at that point. It’s easy to fall into a slump and get behind right now, but don’t give up now!
Today I am giving you a little pep talk to hopefully help you finish this week, and this semester, on a good note. First of all, everything is going to be okay. Everyone tells you this, I’m sure, but when haven’t things been okay? You are still here and you are still putting in an effort. That’s half the battle. Everything you are working to accomplish starts with your effort to try. If you fail from there, it wasn’t meant to be. Exams and Projects do not define you; grades and GPA’s won’t matter in 10 years. Remember this. Take the right steps to reach your goals, but do not over strain yourself. Your happiness and well being is more important than a homework grade.
This does not mean stop trying in school or give up effort, just know that things will turn out. If you do your best, that’s all you can do. Keep a positive mindset and tell yourself things will work out, and they will. When you tell yourself things are not going to work out and you’re going to fail your exams and you are too stressed, guess what? You will fail those exams and you will become over stressed. Mindset is everything.
Wake up, drink some coffee, throw on some of your favorite tunes and handle it. Keep pushing yourself, but don’t forget to take some breaks. Breaks are okay, giving up is not. It seems impossible until it’s done, and that is the mindset you have to have right now. You are anticipating multiple deadlines and schedules, but until it’s done and over with, you will think it’s impossible. Tell yourself it is possible, you can achieve greatness, if you just believe in yourself.
Stop making excuses and start making goals; then smash these goals. What can you accomplish today to make the rest of the week easier? Finish the big things first, then move into the smaller tasks. Make it happen! Manage your time; give yourself time to rest but do not stop grinding toward your goals. Balance is key.
Don’t give up now! You’ve come so far and you are so close to finishing. Keep working hard and remember, you are capable of great things. Just believe in yourself, adjust your mindset and get shit done. Treat yourself to that coffee or a fancy dinner. Change up your study space. A new environment might help you think more clearly. Exclude yourself and focus. Include yourself and socialize. You are so close to the end, giving up now would just be silly. Now is the time to dig deep and give it your all. Remain calm and be positive. You are doing great! You will finish this semester and you will be okay. Everything will be okay.

I hope this post can motivate you and inspire you to kick butt the rest of the semester. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to, so do not underestimate yourself. I believe in you and I don’t even know you, therefore, you can believe in yourself too. You got this!
