I should really be revising now, or at the very least catching up with work. But I'm not, and I can't honestly see me suddenly getting the urge to. I really just don't have the motivation, and I don't know what to do because I need to find some and soon. I know I'll regret it later, and even though there's this long list of reasons as to why I

I know exactly how you feel. I have so much to do but I just have no motivation to do anything. I've noticed a lot of people work so hard in their AS year, and then in A2 they're, as you say, deflated. Good luck! =]

That's something I've noticed too! Especially in myself. It's almost like the first year it's all new and shiny, whereas by the second year we're all a bit jaded and terrified by the impending thought of UNIVERSITIES OMG SCARY.

THANK YOU! (Your icon is SO APPROPRIATE!)

Argh. I went through that earlier this year. Just lost the motivation to do anything at all. Now it's the exam period and I'm seriously regretting all that time wasted. I can't tell you how to get out of the funk, but I hope you can find the motivation that you need. Positive vibes! =)

I think those positive vibes might have just done the trick! I'm finally starting to feel like I want to do work (THANK GOD) :D

Oh god yeah. Revision and motivation repel each other.

I remember when I was studying for my A2 year (3 years ago) and I couldn't understand why I was so demotivated! It was like...why didn't I realise just how important it all was?! It was weird.

I think it does click though...and it will be horribly last minute but it happens.

Try and change of scene...it always helps. I tend to switch between my house/my flat at uni/library etc as it keeps my concentration levels up for some reason. Oh...and coffee. I hate coffee but I've forced myself to drink it during revision at the moment as it really works for quick fixes to get you started.

Good luck with everything =)

Coffee is my worst enemy, I swear. I wish I could drink it without gagging, haha. But I like your tip about a change of scenery, and I've found that really does work when it's term time. Like I'll find I often do way more work in the computer rooms at College than I actually do at home. Which is why I'm probably the only 18 year old in the country that wants school to start again ASAP :p

Seriously? That's such a shame :/ Although it might all kick in when most of her friends are at Uni having fun and she's stuck at home in a job. Unless that works for her, which I can understand but could never do. Me = jobs = disaster. Which makes the fact I have an interview coming up even more scary haha!

[nuttaxbutta]

Hopefully she'll realise in time to apply for next year? The thought of staying her working makes me want to cry. Although I feel like I need to get out of education for a while, that would mean I'd have to stay here and frankly this is not an option, haha. And thank you! I really hope I get it :/ *Hugs*
