Hi all,

I'm trying to turn my life around, but I sometimes feel so demotivated.

I think I could change some areas of my life around in a year or less but some areas could take up to 4 years.

Actually the only area that would take 4 years is my varsity... And well... to be honest I kinda hate it. But I would crush my parents if I dropped out, even though I don't really like it. And I really don't want to do that to them. They've been absolutely magnificent parents and I think i could try and stick it out for them.

I've messed up quite a lot which leaves me in a situation that I'm doing a single first year course amongst loads of 3rd year courses... Unfortunately the 1st year course is my major...

So... any advice for keeping the motivation up?
