Activities that motivates me

January 22, 2013 10:19pm CST
There are some semesters that I feel so excited to go to school. There are times that I really don't have the motivation to go to school anymore. There are activities that I really enjoyed like sports fest, college day and others. Now, these make me so excited and a way of coping with college life. But these activities come only once ever year. Aside from keeping my grades good, I was looking forward to such activities that will keep me from getting bored. What motivates you?

I hate school. The only reason I would like school is my friends. They are my motivation.

That is so true. I am excited too to meet my friends at school. Can't wait to have some chat with them.:)

Anything but chemistry and biology. I am hard up with memorizing scientific names and formulas. I am most motivated in activities that involves exercices (sports) and outings (educational tours) LOL.

I hate those subjects too. But I can enjoy it more if it involves fun activities:) I do love sports as well. But I'm already finished with my four Physical Education subjects.:)

The main thing that motivates me while I'm in college is that I want to work at something that I like and that is music. My major is audio recording. I'm tired of working in factories and as a cashier. I'm 59 years old so there are hardly any activities on campus that meet my interest. So I have to look for stuff to do in the community like go to a knitting group or programs that they have at the local library.

You're right. In everything that we do we should have think of ways that will keep us motivated. For some of us what motivates us varies. Thank you for your response;)

Well, I personally am in a situation, a bit particular. First, I have the disadvantage of finding myself unemployed at the ripe age of 37! This also results in lack of money. However my life every day is more or less the usual routine. I enjoy doing things of little importance (eg wash the glasses), but sometimes I make mental dramas for trivial things. I sincerely when I was in school I was never top of the class. It's been 15 years since I finished my studies. However, in some moments, I miss those times.

I agree. Since it's my last semester in school I really want to enjoy being in school. Like in work I want to enjoy what I do and stay longer:)

In my school days I was fond of just doing other activities more. But if you don't do well in your studies you feel pressure. I also felt that we need to have some hobbies for that. Like in myLot we can have good friends and take part in discussions. It is really cool. I think sports are also great in one's life as it can take away some pressure of studies.But to be motivated we have to go to school everyday. It is my opinion only I am sure some will differ from me.

My motivations is my desire to acquire a high paying job in the future and one sure ticket is by doing good grades to maintain my scholarship status and graduate as an Honor student.

That should be included in one of my motivations as well. Thank you for reminding me:)

Well, i guess it's a matter of finding to know more about yourself since you're still young and in school, i guess. There are still lots of things to be discovered that i think might perk up your interest in doing so, like, glee clubs, theater or even school recognized fraternities.

My college year is over, but back then, I really don't know what really motivates me. I remember I love to hung out with my friends I made then. They were cool, and they were fun. We sometimes take the same class together, and sometimes, we skip classes together and went out play billiard. That might motivate me to come to classes.

I guess I would enjoy it more when there are fun friends around to talk with during recess and lunch breaks. When you have a love interest or a crush, you would be very early going to school. Competing with your classmates over who gets to get the highest mark in the test is fun and the loser gets to treat the winner! Also those activities you mention are very fun events that break the daily drag routine that happens in a school, so it's cool!

There are lot of factors that may lead to our personal motivation. The ones you've mentioned like sports fest, college days, and other events, belong to the lower stages of motivation. When you arrive at a point where the motivation comes inside of you, you have reached the top level of motivation. My friend, when we base our motivation on the outside, it will not last long and we feel bored again. However, when motivation comes from the inner of a person for someone he loves and care most, then it becomes a burning passion that no man can able to withstand. You can also be motivated because of a material reward, but it doesn't compare to being motivated for something great in the long term.

When I was a student, the thing that really motivated me is getting a god work after my graduation. I would like to do every tasks given by my lectures, and I was very excited in preparing for examinations.
