Heey ppl, i was wondering what motivates you to strive best because im kinda running out of good motivations....
plus what are the 'distractions' during your studies...

Well heres mine:
Motivation: 1 Reach Uni
2 Finish my uni subjects
3 Get job, then become super rich....
4 Buy whatever i like
5 (probably look for the people who made my life superbly horrible and punish them) optional....
Distractions: 1 Facebook
2 TV
3 Video Games
4 Other extra curricular activities....e.g family issues etc
5 Other people....

Your motivations should be over a shorter period.

For example: top next maths exam and make the kid who thinks he is so smart jelly.

What helps for me during exam periods is to write daily sticky notes to myself of what I need to accomplish during that day. I would write it down and put those sticky notes everywhere in the house as a reminder. The satisfaction and motivation comes from ticking off and scrunching up a piece of paper once you've done a task.

That is a really good idea! I should try it some time!

This 100%. Short term goals are important to maintaining your motivation on a day-to-day basis.

<3 You're Beautiful, Heartstrings, Dream High, Playful Kiss, Boys Over Flowers, etc.

Though, I like Taiwanese and Jap Drama as well.
Haha, suprisingly I've seen all that except Heartstrings which apparently = bad.
