Spring Semester Struggle
I should start this off by saying I'm a procrastinator. I was going to write this Tuesday and then I decided I could do it Wednesday before I had class. And now I'm finishing it up Friday night.
I love being busy and having things to keep my mind occupied. But I'm also really good at being lazy and procrastinating. Sometimes I even think procrastinating helps me work better because then I'm forced to actually get things done.
I've come to the conclusion that the spring semester is just not my semester. I don't have a solid explanation for it, it just happens to be true. I transferred from community college to the university of North Texas in the Fall of 2016. In my two fall semesters here, I've made the dean's list. And while this is only the beginning of my second spring semester, I know making the dean's list is probably unlikely."Well you can't think like that Morgan! You never know."
Ok but here's the thing, I do know. Something about the spring semester is just different. After winter break, it just seems harder to get back into the swing of going to class, studying (although I've never been good at studying, I don't even think I actually know how to study,) and doing homework.
Winter break just isn't long enough for me to actually look forward to going back to classes.
My motivation just goes down in the spring, and I wish I had a solid reason why, something I could pinpoint it to and change but it's just not there.I feel like every college kid, probably even high school, has one semester they do better during than the other. I've talked to a few friends that have definitely felt that way. They take their harder classes in the fall because they know in the spring they'll just won't have the motivation or it. Or the focus for it. And then others do better in the spring than the fall.
As it turns out, my motto for the spring seems to be "better late than never, right?"
Does that make this post ironic since I planned for it to go up on Wednesday and it's not Saturday?
