I lack motivation

A trick that works sometimes is telling yourself you can do anything for 5 minutes. Usually it's getting started that's the hard part, not actually doing it.

Put a reminder in your calendar to study each day at a certain time. When the reminder goes off, just get started. If you don't want to, just make yourself do it for 5 minutes. You'll probably keep going after that.

Keep this up and it becomes a habit like everything else.

Make your brain strong, not just your body.

You need to understand that your schooling is going to critically affect your future. You have to realize that this is your mission in life, so take it seriously. You should be passionate about your schooling, because you should feel passionately about what you're going to do with that degree.

I'd suggest meditating and looking inside of yourself to see why you have not committed to your schooling. Why do you have no emotional investment in your education when your academic success directly correlates to your future success?

You want motivation? Look at the homeless people on the street. Stare into the eyes of a 40 year-old woman working the 2 A.M shift at McDonald's. Those people were like you at one point, and they sure as hell didn't think they'd end up so fucked.

So get discipline.

Also school is pointless unless you're going to stem.
