How do i get myself motivated before it`s too late?

Question

Ok, I`m 17 years old and would say quite a pretty bright girl and have done ok at school but this year I`ve seemed to lose motivation for everything I don`t know whats up with me I can`t be bothered about anything.

I did great at high school and always cared about education but now I can`t bothered and don`t seem to take it seriously.I didn`t even revise for my college exams until the last few days because I was so lazy and could`t be arsed.

Also, before I use to take care of my looks a lot and I`m a pretty girl but I can`t be arsed with that too.

I`ve become a computer addict and I don`t know how to motivate myself.. im afraid I might be messing up my life at a young age nd especially when I had a lot of things going for me.But even thats not enough to get me motivated..

How do I motivate my self?How do i get back to my old self?

Whats up with me? im confused.

Answer 1

First of all, graduate & get your diploma.  Then take a break from schooling temporarily.  Go on vacation to someplace you've always wanted to visit before starting your higher education.  That should help you not feel so burnt out with school.  If you're not working, then you might consider getting a job.  That will get you a steady paycheck & some social interaction that's not all high school bs.  Do your best to do something "special" on your weekends, thus forcing you to dress up a little anyway, & it will help you feel more ready to face the week ahead of you.  It will also help you limit your time spent on the computer.  Good luck!
