How to get motivated to study

Hey friends! So recently I just completed the summer semester of college, and boy am I relieved! There is so much stress in preparing for finals, and half the time I want to throw up my hands, wave my white flag, and quit. When it comes down to it, I obviously can't because that is thousands of dollars down the drain. ANYWAYS when I feel the creeping urge to get onto Pinterest and start playing with dear old friend procrastination, I use these methods not only to make me want to study, but also make studying fun, yes I said it, FUN! How can that be you say? Well here are a few of my methods:

1. PRAY- When I feel like throwing in the towel, I always pray and ask God to give me the motivation to study, and not only that, but to want to study. I can tell you that it seriously works for me every time. My motivation to study will just hit me like a wave, and I'll get up and go and do it, and I can tell you that that motivation is given to me by God. Also when we ask God for His help, we are saying we can't do this on our own; I know, with my hand raised high, that I cannot do this school thing without Him. 

2. GET CUTE STUDY MATERIALS- As a girly girl, it gets me so excited to study when my study materials/school supplies are super cute! It makes things fun to look at, and keeps me organized when I have materials surrounding me that make me happy. Here is an example of cute materials that I like to have for school and studying: 

3. WEAR COMFY/CUTE CLOTHING- When I spend all that time studying, I want to be comfortable yet cute. Having a comfortable cute outfit to wear studying at the library or a coffee shop totally makes me want to study, and look adorable doing it! Here are a few examples of an outfit I would wear studying: 

4. COFFEE- If coffee is your best friend (this is the case for me) then it is so motivating to go to a coffee shop to be able to get your favorite coffee drink (Mmm! Latte's!) and study! You have your drink, you look adorable, and you are motivated to get some work done! Plus, plus, plus!

5. STUDY BUDDY- Can't get enough motivation to study yet? Call up a friend from class! Not only will you have more fun studying, but your friend may teach you some things that you missed, or vice versa. Having someone to study with is always more fun that studying solo (and hey they'll also probably comment on how cute your study outfit is ;D). 

6. GET A PLANNER- A planner always helps me to stay on track, and stay motivated to study. I also really like to do glam planning, if you haven't heard of it before, there are tons of ideas on Pinterest. To sum it up, its just getting creative and crafty with your planner, and decorating the pages and cover how you want it. Having organized, yet pretty, pages to look at keeps me motivated. 

7. KNOWING THE END IS IN SIGHT- This too shall pass! Your studying days won't last forever, and the harder you study, and work to stay on track, the more satisfied your future self will be knowing you gave it your all. NOW THAT is motivating. 

I hope this helped you with some ideas to get motivated! These are just a few of the things I do to keep me on track.
