<p>These days I seem to have no motivation to try hard in school. I daydream during class, procrastinate on my homework, and stay up late doing absolutely nothing. I constantly feel frustrated with myself because I know I'm not doing as well as I can...so, what kind of tricks do YOU use to concentrate, work efficiently, and motivate yourself?</p>
<p>Fear and hatred of ignominy.</p>
<p>UCSB/UCSD … :]!
and i want to be rich. lol so learning good habits for college/grad school is good i guess…</p>
<p>What motivates me?</p>
<p>Having choices of where to apply when I’m older… whether it be an Ivy or a small, liberal arts school. I want my options to be open, not have to go to a school because it’s my only option.</p>
<p>I am not a very motivated person but what does motivate me is that if I am spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on US education (intl student) I better make it worthwhil. That’s my immediate motivation. My long term motivations are quite different of course.</p>
<p>the ladies</p>
<p>I want to make it rain $$$$$ and get the job I want. That is all I need to motivate me.</p>
<p>Think of it this way…the harder you work in this part of your life, the easier you’ll have it later on</p>
<p>I don’t want to get my admissions rescinded. And I want to be finished by April 3rd.</p>
<p>^
Congrats on getting into Stanford.</p>
<p>Originally, it was because my Asian parents beat me if I screwed up. Once I got into ninth grade, I became more self motivated. Now, I wonder if ninth grade was a fluke and if I’m really a bad student after all.</p>
<p>^beat u? lol…</p>
<p>“well i get F’s in school, does that mean ill be a homeless bum later on?”</p>
<p>what?</p>
<p>I want a good job.</p>
<p>Same as applicannot, except the april 3rd thing</p>
<ol>
<li>I would be bored at home.</li>
<li>My asian parents would kick me out of the house.</li>
</ol>
<p>I don’t want to turn out like my parents =]</p>
<p>^ I don’t want to turn out like my older brother, and give my (much-too-nice) parents another deadbeat to support :(</p>
<ol>
<li>Keep my rank</li>
<li>Don’t want to be made fun of</li>
<li>So I can get into a good college</li>
</ol>
<p>Umm, so my apps won’t get rescinded. Other than that, I’m a second semester senior that has been accepted to college already, so…what motivation? hahaha</p>
<p>BEAT EVERY OTHER PERSON IN THE CLASS AND MAKE THEM FEEL SMALL AND STUPID IN COMPARISON! muahahaha</p>
<p>Not getting rescinded. So all C’s is good :)</p>
