Tbh I've overused all the "don't wanna end up on the checkouts" type motivation. I feel like I know that being successful for me is probably not gonna happen.
But what did seem to work was that if I pass this and get the grades I want I get to got to the same collage as one of my old friends. By then I will hopefully be learning to drive so imagining me and my friends driving to collage playing music or studying together - little things that I will miss if I don't get the grades - helps me to remember why I am doing this.
