I am a 2nd year premed student trying to get into medical school. So recently I've found myself highly demotivated in school, whenever I'm in class or doing homework I find that my mind has been wandering. This has never happened to me in the past, but lately it seems like I cannot focus.

There is one class at school where I actually cannot seem to stay awake for the duration of the entire class, this is so weird. Is there something wrong with me?

How do you guys stay motivated on school?

If you're this unmotivated, maybe premed isn't for you?
Is it just this one class or just all of them?
but really, has anyone REALLY been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Caffeine? It depends on what you think your problem is...

I usually put music on to drown out thoughts when I'm doing homework... and in class I always always write down what the prof is saying, usually shortform paraphrase style. This keeps me on track and also makes certain I listen to everything he/she says. If your problem is just that you're too lazy then unfortunately this won't help, since it requires more work than just sitting there and tuning out.

I don't have all the answers but in the class where you are falling asleep... stand up.

source: I would fall asleep in 4/5 of my classes without this simple trick


edit: 2 of the first 3 posts suggest using chemicals to stimulate your body. I don't think that's the right approach. Your body just becomes dependent on them and soon they loose effect.

Ask yourself, do YOU really want to get into medical school or do your PARENTS want you to go in there?

Maybe you have been studying too much in the past and got stressed and got bored of school. Are you physically active or sedentary? I find that when I stay physically active more, I'm more alert and excited which helps me when I study subjects that require solid concentration and good problem solving thoughts. Do you like to listen to music while doing homework? I like to listen to my favorite songs when I do my homework; it keeps me going and makes me motivated to finish more work. And you don't really have to abandon your hobbies just because you are a hardcore college student now. Take a short break when you feel stressed and can't think clearly while studying. It really helps.

It happens to me when I am working too much for a prolonged period of time. You can't study hardcore all the time as you will get burned out and will lose your motivation to study. Remember to get enough sleep and find some hobbies on a side that make you happy. I personally listen to music. Finally, remember to keep in touch with your friends. Having good friends make hard work much easier as there is always someone who can support you when you are feeling down as well as you have someone just to hang out.
