Long commute + loss of motivation

<p>You’ve made it this far. Hang in tight, and try to save up as much money as you can to help support yourself when you move out.</p>

<p>Perhaps, you can do other things on campus on days when you only have one lecture. You could study in the library, since it seems like it’s harder to focus at home. That way you may be able to get much of your work done before you get home. If you’re tired, at least, you’re tired while doing chores, as opposed to being too tired to study. Maybe you could find an on campus job that has shifts available during those days, and you could earn some extra money to may your expenses and save up to move out. You could take a nap or go to the gym. You could hang out with friends on campus, since your parents don’t let you go out on the weekends. If you plan other things to do while you’re on campus, it might seem like less of a drag to go.</p>

<p>Perhaps you could listen to music or audiobooks during the commute (with good headphones, if you need them–a drag to carry around but might make the commute more bearable). I started listening to audiobooks, particularly when I’m stuck in traffic or commuting, and it’s made it made it much less of a deal to travel. I only listen to them when I’m driving or doing chores, and I’ve found much more incentive to do them because I want to listen to the book. You might be able to come up with a similar type of reward system to help give you some motivation.</p>
