losing motivation academically

so I’ve been really on and off with my studyblr and I thought I should make this post before going into the next academic school year. So, I graduated high school in 2015 and last year started my first year of law school. I moved into my own apartment 4 hours away from home, got my first job, was meeting new people and balancing and juggling all that with a 42 contact hour week at uni. 

I was so motivated at first, studying my ass off and was loving the materials and what we were studying. But what I noticed after a while (the uni that I go to has a system where you’re graded purely on your exams and you have exams every 7 weeks) I was covering everything to be tested on an exam that had 2 or 3 questions.  

I was doing really well in all my course work, passing all the assignments easily. However, the exams weren’t going as well and I didn’t understand why because it was the same materials????? After a while I started to lose motivation because I kept working my ass off and not getting the results that I expected. 

Then I had to make the decesion whether or not this was for me, and based on some of the courses that I’d been doing in law school (I was studying European Law) I decided that maybe this program wasn’t for me, so in September I’m going to be starting European Studies. 

I guess the point of this post is kind of an explanation as to why I haven’t been posting on this blog as regularly as I’d previously done and I just thought I should post this now seeing as I have my introduction day for my new course on Monday. 

I most definately aim to update on here regularly and to stay motivated-- so I’ll also be using this blog to motivate me to stay healthy and stick to schedules and bullet journal and stuff like that.
