Motivating Myself! (And you) (Hopefully)

Okay children. So I’m currently at uni and, as you probably know, that entails having to do some essays and stuff. It sucks. It’s 2am and all I can think about is how much it sucks.

I don’t wanna write an essay on “infotainment", I wanna go to bed! To hibernate in the comforting depths of my warm and soft duvet. To dream of Hawaii (you’ll hear more about that in a different post. Search “Hawaii” in the tags). But yeah, essays. Work. Ugh.

It’s only my second term and I have 7 more to go after this before they hand me my shiny new degree, so I’m guessing this will be one of many more essays to come. Which sucks.

Nevertheless, I found me some study playlists on spotify and googled some good old motivation (in the form of quotes). Yes, I was totally procrastinating (as I’m currently doing because I’m like 200 words into a 1000 word min. essay due in 2 days). Did I mention this all sucks? Well it does. It sucks. Big time.

Anyways, here are some of the best inspirational, motivational quotes to help you through your schlump (if you are in fact in a schlump) (side note: I have a short funny anecdote involving the word “schlump” but it will probably end up not being funny if I tell you so I’ll just leave it out. If you ever meet me, ask me about it if you want. It still won’t be funny but at least I won’t be inflicting it on the whole internet).

I digress.

Here are the quotes. Enjoy.

1. This metaphor-riddled poster. Vroom, vroom!

2. Kinda have to be a woman for this one to hit home (or here's an idea: substitute the words "woman" and "she's" to "man" and "he's")

3. My favourite one by far. It really made me question: Are my excuses more important than my dreams? Answer - No.

4. #TrueSay

5. So go get started!!!

6. Remember the pain, the late nights, the struggles to get where you are right now. Don't let it be for nothing. (FYI, this is how I got through my second year of Sixth Form hell)

7. You heard the man!

8. Sure, you did some work yesterday. A paragraph or two. A few press ups, maybe? Stayed an extra hour at the office. But so what? You can do better than that! Be like Monica.. In competition with yourself.

9. Little anecdote here.. This used to be my old laptop screensaver because I thought it would motivate me to do my work.. Hmm. (It's actually really good, I'm just super lazy)

10. It's like a little maze for your eyes. Dreams, goals, it's all in there.

11. Ah, the opposing side to the You Vs You saga! Kick Tomorrow You's ass by doing good work today! Always be prepared! *Ding Ding*

12. I'm certainly not going to stop you from doing your work! Go get it done. You're a force to be reckoned with!

13. All-round sound advice there to inspire yourself and others.

14. BOOM.

Right! Read them? Feel inspired? Wanna go do some work? Well, you have to! Get up and go do what you have to do! You’ve wasted enough time already! (That’s my motivational quote to add to the collection) (Can someone put that on a backdrop of a sunset or something? Or like some really bold black and white poster that’s pretty intimidating to look at. Idk like “Do your work, bitch!”)

Thank you

Okay now seriously, buzz off. We’ve got work to do!
