<p>Well let’s face it, if it was my last day on earth I wouldn’t be even giving a shiiiiat about homework or studying… </p>
<p>“Live everyday like it’s your last”</p>
<p>Well I guess that means I’m not going to college because I’m gonna die tomorrow! Toodloo AP Exams/High school!</p>
<p>^That’s most people’s instinctive reaction to hearing that, and I commonly say that as well. You’re not supposed to literally live everyday like it’s your last, but it’s a way to get people to take risks and do things they normally wouldn’t do. For me, if I were to die tomorrow and look back at my life I would want to feel satisfied and not regretful.</p>
<p>I don’t enjoy listening to people’s *exaggerated success stories because they’re just intimidating. Instead, I think about all the skills I possess, my interests, and the possibilities in my future and find something that is a) worthwhile in itself, b) good for college (ngl), and c) truly strikes my interest.</p>
<p>I become un-motivated when I feel that everything I’ve done in high school is unimportant. I try instead to think of things that excite me - I recently had an epiphany that because I love learning popular songs on the piano and performing them for friends, I could give concerts at the local senior home.</p>
<p>More general, school wise: During spring break last week, I was highly unproductive (only went through half of AP Chem prep book) but my college visit trip at the end of the week inspired me to keep working.</p>
<p>I also had copious amounts of slumber the past week. That always helps.</p>
<p>to stay motivated, i ask other people how to get motivated. After I am tired of the “motivation method”, i ask again, however dumb that might sound.
Does it work? Usually…</p>
<p>
Yep, that’s what I have 
def keeps me motivated.</p>
<p>okay…add talking to uber brilliant and overachieving students from my school.</p>
