well lets put it this way if you do not revise on results day you will be doing eith of these:banghead: :bawling:
and you will not be doing this :beer:
so my suggestion is that you get off your backside and do some work
You're probably going to find it very difficult to get any studying done until you have some direction. Sit down and think what you really want to do with your life. Start by thinking what you like and then create some career goals. Where do you see yourself in 3/5/10 years from now?

You're not going to be able to get to your destination until you know where it is. Trust me, I've been there. You'll work ten times harder when you're motivated and aiming for something.

Once you have the grades you have them for life, so just put the effort in now then you can have an effortless life until u have to get a job when your parents decide you gotta start paying rent.

I've never had a specific direction, I just focus my energies on beating other people- you can always find motivation in that.

Just get really organised and find focus from doing that; get up early, work, eat well, exercise. It's easy once you're in a routine, then you barely need any direction 'cos you just concentrate on getting better and more efficient at your routine.

No they aren't, I just put them there as a joke, or for others to make them feel better :p:

I know exactly how you feel. I'm also sooo close to finishing, but completely lack motivation. Sitting around makes me feel worse though, because I know I'm being unproductive. It's a vicious cycle, huh? :frown: The thing I'm counting on is that it will get better soon, so I try not to beat myself up over the lack of motivation. Just go along and don't be too critical of yourself (I know its hard...).
Maybe try to get together with friends to revise, or someone else to motivate and keep you going.
Best of luck :smile:
