what do you guys do to motivate yourselves to study and keep studying through the night?
I motivate myself by reading the blogs from sdn.

-I have a few select blogs I read of people who are already working their way through dental school. One dental student is so positive about her whole experience -- it really is encouraging.
-I printed out a break down of the dental course that my #1 choice has on their website and I keep it in the transparent back of my one binder, so everytime I set it down, I happen to see "Dental school Admission bla bla bla". Or when I need a quicky break, I can pull it out.
-Everytime I finish a pre-req, I use a bright green highlighter to highlight it out on a paper of pre-reqs needed for my #1 dental school choice. (this makes me impatient though)
-I browse this damn site way too much.
-I think of how many people on this site post "My GPA is a 2.9... 3.0...." and realize how limiting it may be and go right back to studying. No offense to those of you that do have a GPA similar to that, I don't look down on you I swear!

It's all the small things that can make a difference. My first semester of college, I even set a minimum Gpa for myself and minimum DAT score (even if I had no clue about the DAT). Those scores are still on my cell phone banner, I see that everyday too.
hell, even brushing and flossing my teeth keeps me motivated.. 🙄🙄🙄

LOL La Dentista, are you copying me? I did the same thing a few months back. I wrote down all the science classes I needed to take for dental school and planned when I was going to take them.
Another thing I like to do is look at other students application, look at their GPA/extra curriculars and compare to mine and see what can I do to improve my chances. I use predents.com like no other person in this website LOL.
If you can't wait until you get to dental school like me, just thinking about it motivates you.

How's this for motivation. If you don't get your *** in gear, this will be your future.
lol. nice one!How's this for motivation. If you don't get your *** in gear, this will be your future.
i often look at my dad & how hard he works everyday as a farm laborer. that, combined with the several crappy, hard, manual labor jobs i've done over the years, and the fact that i will have more education than anyone else in my family helps to motivate me.
in addition, just SUCCEEDING at a goal i set for myself drives me.
