I don't have good advice. Good advice is hard to give.

I'd suggest reading Man's Search For Meaning and The Alchemist.

What motivates me is a passion to know the truth of things and to use my efforts as investments in myself and my future. Maybe less thought of what I want to be or what I want to do. Maybe more thought on what I don't want to be and what I don't want to do.

That's an interesting take. I was using 'not failing this semester' to keep me going before but it's lost all utility now...

I think I stressed less about what I wanted to do when I didn't know the truth. Learning it seems to have done me a huge disservice. I shall have to think about ways to utilise it and see if I can't use it as motivation. Thanks, there's alot to think about. I'll look up those books when I'm on holidays.

I believe you can make it though this semester. Sometimes it's not the subject or the work or the reward that can motivate you, but how you do it.

Just general things:

Work in a clean environment.

Take long walks.

Eat real food.

Get plenty of sleep.

Touch grass and bask in the sun.

Talk to people in person.

Be mindful of your thoughts and actions.
