<p>I feel like I don't want to study anymore. Lately, I've always been waiting until the day before to cram everything. More often now, I'm finding myself falling asleep at 8 and waking up at 3 AM to study for a test at 9 AM. This ain't good. I want to get all A's, but the only way I can do that is by putting in a lot more effort than I am now. I'm hanging around B+ and A-'s in most of my classes right now. The only things on my mind right now are Turkey, gravy, Santa Claus, and hot babes jogging on the beach.</p>
<p>I find that I study most effectively when a friend is next to me. What are some other things I can do to motivate myself to pull through this?</p>
<p>btw. I'm taking 18 credit hours, and let me tell you these are hard classes. I also have 2 part time jobs that require a total of 5-10 hours/week. I barely have the time to work in the lab, and I'm not producing any results lately. I'm never going to do this ever again. It's not worth it.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, why do you have two part-time jobs while being a full time student? Your lethargy may be a result of an over-accumulation of built-up stress.</p>
<p>^ exactly, that’s why I made this thread. I need some advice on how to deal with stress.</p>
<p>As for my jobs, one of them is a paper carrier job. It basically pays $24/hour. It’s hard to resist, even though it’s super early. My laboratory job is important because I need to build up work experience along with research experience. The good thing is, after this semester, I can take it easy with 15 credits/semester. It will still be busy because I’m also committed to a club sport, but much more manageable.</p>
<p>Ugh, I’m in the exact same situation. Although I personally would not knock the whole 3AM rising thing; it seems I function best that way. Just stick it out. I also agree that Thanksgiving cannot come soon enough.</p>
