    Re: What motivates you to study?

    A decent atar to get into my desired courses
    And because I go to a private school, I feel bad If I don't do well as my parents have spent all that money on me
    I feel sorry for people who don't drink.

    When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

    There's actually people who study hard for someone else.

    There's nothing wrong with it if you become heaps motivated due to it.

    @OP:
    My MAIN reason:
    To not waste my parents' money (spent on me) in terms of tutoring and my overall education.

    Re: What motivates you to study?

    the threat of no rice for a month motivates me


    But seriously, keeping my WAM up is imperative. It's a number that measures my self worth


    Nah, but more seriously, I feel that - especially at uni - I have 13 weeks of semester, and then another 3 or so more for exams. And then I get a long break. Short term pain, long term gain.

    That said, it's still quite difficult to tear myself away from the internet/Facebook/TV/FIFA or whatever... but sometimes, you just have to plonk yourself down on a table and start doing the work.

    Re: What motivates you to study?

    To do your potential, personal best, not having regrets, making the most of high school, parents expectations, wanting to beat an older sibling, bragging rights, etc.
