swimming relaxes me, a lot like running does for many people. i just like the feel of water around me, and i tend to get shin splints when i run, but that is off the topic! the motivation comes directly from the goal that one day i will be a vet, and that is just way too cool! i guess you could say that i am one of those people who have always had a lot of inner drive, i'm lucky in that department.

Karaoke and pop culture trivia, that's what! 🙂
haha, good answer!
what keeps me motivated? life? it's pretty damn good right now. learning stuff that *actually* interests me... don't need much outside motivation! it's fun!
shush, it is.
I do work in my community: volunteering at the local animal shelter, distributing donated clothes to the homeless people living downtown, and doing social justice activism work with local organizations. I'm still trying to add some more social time to that so I don't get totally burned out. 🙄

besides these hobbies, I relax myself by watching movies/tv series. I also love photography.

I used to draw, paint, dance, play too many videogames, watch too many horror movies...
now.. I have time for school, and maybe a movie night every couple of weeks!
Once you are in, there is little time for much else apart from your anatomy book and histology slides.😎
Take personal time everyday- I usually end up napping (but only because I have to walk about 40 mins a day!)

I love going for walks with my doggie...especially since it's beautiful fall foliage time right now. 🙂 I'm also very active in my church and I always make sure that Sundays are "no-vet-school" time. I do church and nap time and reading and nothing else. It's a great way to recharge before starting the week again.
