This isn’t a normal blog post. Most days I don’t come to this space to air out my grievances. However, it’ll have to do this once.
The finish line is in sight. So little work left for me to do in school and yet the tasks in front of me seem insurmountable. A major case of senioritis has fallen over me. Writing for these last two assignments of my Master’s program is eating away at me. Motivation is at an all-time low.
Every time I go to my desk with the intent to start writing an excuse pops into my head. Procrastination is a feeling that overwhelms me. I know, I probably sound like a child. However, these feelings are the truth. The last thing in the world that I want to do at this moment is to work on these assignments. The inability to focus for even just a short time in order to get a portion of this writing done is eating away at me.
Why can’t I just get this over with?
I’m so close to finishing my education, why does this have to happen now?
The short answer is that I have to quit being a baby and get this work done. My mind is trying to weaken my motivation and strength. A cure for those thoughts only comes through actions. This work will get done even if it’s the last thing I do.
