The Struggling Student Life

Being a student is a noble thing because I know not everyone is fortunate to study. I know some people grow up without formal education and some places in the world has no educational opportunities. This makes me realized how lucky I am to have the opportunity to study and learn.

They say education is the key to unlock success in life. On the other hand, some say education is not the measurement of success and it doesn't guarantee success. There are so many perspectives towards education and one thing I know, when you are educated you know how to respect everyone regardless of who they are in the society.

As a student, I face a lot of struggles and challenges in my life. However, it doesn't mean I am going to give up. In fact, I feel determined to succeed in life one day and I am not going to waste my education years. It is undeniable that there are times where a student will feel demotivated to continue going on but I am constantly trying these things to keep myself motivated at all times.

I treat myself sometimes

Self-gratification is one of the best ways to motivate ourselves. After a hard time compiling tasks and answering endless activities, we deserve to treat ourselves sometimes. It is not about spoiling yourself but rather treating yourself to something that can make you happy.

Hustling online

I think this is one of the best things that a student can feel in this world. When you are studying at the same time you have the opportunity to hustle online. I cannot believe that I am able to do these things and so far, it never fail to make me motivated especially when you can provide the things you need without asking from your parents.

Praying

Although not everyone is religious, I manage to pray even I am not a very religious person. For me, praying gives me the calmness that everything is going to be okay. Praying makes me closer to God and I don't feel alone in the world carrying a burden. I can express what I want to say by closing my eyes and putting my soul in one place. I always give time to pray.

Using less time on social media

There's nothing wrong in using social media but as for me, I find myself lazy everytime I spend my time there. Not only that, I also feel that social media is a big distraction in our day to day life. We cannot accomplish a certain task when we are silently browsing in our feed to check what's going on in the world.I prefer to spend less time on it.

I do not pressure myself

I never put myself under pressure where I have to be academically competent. As long as I will get a good grades in my college, I think it's fine. I don't have to be the academic achiever and I know that our worth is not measured by our academic performance. I give myself time to relax and to enjoy life for a while. I am the student who doesn't invest my time studying the whole day.

We all have struggles in life and we all have different ways to cope. Being a student is such a beautiful thing because your responsibility is not bigger yet so I think that our struggles is manageable compared to working adult struggles. On the other hand, I do not discredit the struggles of every student because I know being a student is not easy especially when you are in a college. We may have different struggles but the important thing here is that we know how to never give up. We have to find ways to keep ourselves motivated because I know in the end, every bit of hardwork and effort is worth it.
