Where has all my motivation gone?

Here I am sat in the basement supposed to be writing an essay, when here I am writing to you and helping my friends cook lasagna. I just can't seem to be motivated to do anything for school anymore. The homework keeps piling up, yet I don't seem to be fazed.

Why though? That is what I don't understand. It is not like I don't like what I am doing, I do. It is just I don't see a point in what I am doing. Maybe I am just not seeing the results that I want. I feel that I am not really doing anything productive academic wise with my life at the moment. I am enjoying other things in life, like being with friends and being involved in things on campus outside of the academic realm.

I mean that is all well and good, but I do need to motivate myself academically, because if I don't then the whole point of me being here will be pointless.

If anybody has any ideas be sure to let me know!

    Sadly I find myself in the exact same boat, except (fortunately for me) I don't have anything major due for two weeks, yet UNfortunately, that is not how life is. I suppose the way I think of it is- we have resources, great ones, and how we use those is a reflection of our character. As seen by the completely unproductive week I have been living- my character is not looking too good... but, there is always next week to start again! Not much encouragement I suppose- but no matter where we are in life, that is where we are meant to be. Apparently I am in a reflective mood... hence the outpourings, my pardons.

    awww courtney, well you're enjoying life so that's good. i don't really know how to help you get motivated. maybe you need to read the time paradox to help you? i don't know if that helps, but it has changed the way i see life.

History and the media - things we need to take into consideration

It is important to learn about how the media has dealt with issues in the past, because it allows us to make informed decisions about the future, and it can help to not make the same mistakes twice, also if we look at a problem in the past, we can work on how we would change things now, so that the problem no longer exists. Also by looking at how the media has dealt with things in the past, it might help change our perspective on that particular event, etc. as we realize that the media portrayal might not have been accurate. Some examples of how things can sometimes be negatively viewed from the media would include the portrayal of people who join gangs and do illegal activities, e.g. looting in the UK. They are often portrayed as either white individuals with a low socioeconomic status or people of color, although this demographic maybe true, the people in gangs are often shown as lazy and not having any purpose to their lives,

Footballers and their wages

My first discussion point, why do footballers get paid so much? It is absolutely pointless, they do hardly anything, just kick around a ball all day and they get paid millions. It is so not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are so many individuals doing more worth while jobs, yet they get paid a fraction of what footballers get! It is not even eqaul across all sports Rugby players for example, get paid a lot less. I am not against football, I enjoy it, I just think that it is crazy the amount of money that footballers get.
